Considering this for baby girl due in 4 weeks! What are your thoughts? Have you ever come across one?

Sibling for DS 4 yrs Moses if that makes a difference!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

BillywilliamV · 13/11/2019 17:42

Oh don’t be so bloody stupid OP, that poor child!

RoseMartha · 13/11/2019 17:37

Libby or Elizabeth then shorten it
Or
Lydia
Or
Liberty

But not Lybia

Libya Pugh is a renowned actress but she hasn't inspired dozens of parents to call their children after her.

Schmoozer · 13/11/2019 17:21

It’s a truly awful name.
Libby is cute though.

CaptainCautious · 13/11/2019 17:21

Libby is fine on a BC, I know a few just Libby’s or Libbies

Libya Pugh is an actress.

Wonder if you'd all be quite to nasty to her face? Amazing how horrible people can be behind a keyboard. Happy World Kindness Day everyone

Thanks to those that have come up with helpful suggestions! Appreciate it will discuss just Libby again with DH

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Labia

MissingMySleep · 13/11/2019 17:11

Noooo

PsychosonicCindy · 13/11/2019 17:10

As everyone else has said it's a no from me for Libya.
Liberty is really nice or Libby is fine to go on bc. I know a couple of Libbys.
I can't see why you don't like Lydia it's almost the same?
Not Livia it sounds like Liver and also people will think you are saying Olivia.
Alicia has got a similar sound to it.

How about Democratic Republic of the Congo. Demi for short

RedRec · 13/11/2019 17:01

Have I strayed onto the Daily Mash?

BonBon411 · 13/11/2019 17:00

@MarshmallowsOnToast

I am a nurse, so when I hear labia-
I think quite literally...lol...
Thank you for informing me it is all one big joke.

MarshmallowsOnToast · 13/11/2019 16:56

@BonBon411

I think the joke is going over your head.

That was the point.

Grumpbum123 · 13/11/2019 16:56

Crazy

Chlosavxox · 13/11/2019 16:53

You know what - if Libya wasn't such a dangerous war zone I actually think it would be a nice name! 😂 but I defiantly wouldn't go with it. Libby is a lot better

Collision · 13/11/2019 16:53

I too prefer Labia.

Your hormones have gone crazy.

Would you want to be called Libya?
It’s horrendous and as soon as she realises the connotations she will change it to Libby so save her time and effort now and call her Libby.

BonBon411 · 13/11/2019 16:50

@SteamedPotatoes Labia Marjory
sounds like Labia Majora

SteamedPotatoes · 13/11/2019 16:44

Labia Marjory

sausagepastapot · 13/11/2019 16:44

That is hellish. Don't do it.

ballsdeep · 13/11/2019 16:38

@orangeteel that made me lol

BonBon411 · 13/11/2019 16:37

@orangeteal who in their most unreal dreams would give a baby girl the name of Labia? Why not just name her Vagina or Placenta? Dang!

KindnessCrusader · 13/11/2019 16:31

@DerbyshireGirly I know a 20 year old Isis. Everyone always said it was a beautiful name. And it is. But it's ruined now

DerbyshireGirly · 13/11/2019 16:13

What about Isis?

Celebelly · 13/11/2019 16:05

It's a child, not a Womble.

This is amazing
