Bertie for short maybe. Joy as a middle family name.

I love the names including the non Bertie. ❤️

Bubbletrouble43 · 25/06/2020 15:40

Love love love love love
Always wanted to use it but overruled by dp every time x I would have shortened to Libby

MikeUniformMike · 25/06/2020 15:38

Liberty isn't very nice and Bertie is awful.

HalfBloodPrincess · 25/06/2020 06:52

Just reminds me of Catherine Tate's Nan character.

I love the name Liberty, always have. Liberty Joy sounds lovely.

Bertyb7 · 24/06/2020 21:58

Great name! But I am biased Smile

I don't like Liberty or Bertie sorry.

Elizabeth Joy, nn Libby - great
Olivia Joy, nn Libby - great
Libby Joy - ok

Flowerpowersy · 24/06/2020 15:13

I don't like Liberty at all. It sounds like a brand of tampons. Sorry.

Liberty is lovely...don't like Joy though, sorry.

HelmutShmacker · 24/06/2020 10:46

I like it :)

Whatsyourflava · 24/06/2020 10:44

Liberty is one of my very favourite names. I've loved it for years. I can't believe the nickname of Bertie has never occurred to me! Love it even more now!!

motherofawhirlwind · 24/06/2020 09:57

Love it!

My OH wanted to call DD Libby but we didn't like Elizabeth and wanted a longer name to shorten. Wish we'd thought of Liberty.....

Hooleywhipper · 24/06/2020 09:45

My Liberty is 21 tomorrow and has always loved her name. Many compliments over the years. It’s a yes from me OP 😊.
Joy is beautiful too.

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 24/06/2020 09:41

I know a liberty Grace.

NN Libby / Lib........she's late teens now and owns her name well.

LotusClover · 24/06/2020 09:36

Liberty is lovely and really underused these days. Hate the nickname Bertie though - I would use Libby instead.

SnowdropFox · 24/06/2020 09:15

I love them both but it feels a bit much to have them together.

I like the nn Bertie though, I wouldn't have thought of it! I do like masculine names on girls though (like Charlie)

HunkyPunk · 23/06/2020 23:39

Love the name Liberty and nn Libby. Smile

WinWinnieTheWay · 23/06/2020 23:31

Liberty makes me think of corsets, sanitary protection, and Americans.

diege · 23/06/2020 23:04

I have a Liberty too! Over the years it's been shortened to Libby, but love both.

QuimReaper · 23/06/2020 22:55

Liberty Joy is a bit overkill, and Bertie's awful.

Liberty's great though!

iamrubyfinch · 23/06/2020 22:52

It's a beautiful name. If you love it, go for it ♥️

chillandrelax · 23/06/2020 22:48

Love the name Liberty. 😍

openyourporkpies · 23/06/2020 22:45

I have a Liberty nn Libby - MNers seems to trash it all the time but everyone has always complimented her and we still love it.
