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! Smile

She will spend her entire life correcting people who will automatically assume it’s meant to be Lydia

What do you like about Libya OP? Is to match Moses?

Personally I would go for Lydia which sounds very similar to Libya and is timeless and classic. Ditto Libby.

Go for Elizabeth, and use Libby day to day.

Lybia’s a bit... problematic.

If you like the idea of using Libby you could name her Elizabeth.

Afghanistan
Nn Affy?

Liberty or Elizabeth can be shortened to Libby. Libya - just no.

Can’t say I’ve ever met another one so you’re safe on that front...

merryhouse · 13/11/2019 14:01

No.

I think Libby is usually a shortening of Elizabeth.

It means heart of the sea so think it works well with Moses for that reason too

@Winkywoop we are all going to kindly assume that your hormones are affecting your judgement, and sensibly advise you not to name your child after a country which is in a state of ongoing crisis and turmoil.

How about Gaddafi?

Love nn Lib or Libby

Friends have suggested Lydia or India but not a huge fan of either of those!

Any alternatives?!

Is that a ‘person name‘ anywhere?

Peanutbutteryogurt · 13/11/2019 13:57

What the fuck?

orangeteal · 13/11/2019 13:56

I personally prefer Labia.

Twooter · 13/11/2019 13:56

Don’t.
