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

I know a lovely Liberty, nn Libby. Very pretty name!

Liberty sounds extremely comman, and most people would probably shorten her name to Libby. But I quite like Joy.

Don't like Liberty. Kids will take the piss and call her the Statue of Liberty. Joy seems very outdated, I can't imagine anyone under 60 called Joy.

As for Bertie, it just sounds like a man's name. And a very outdated man's name.

I knew a lovely Liberty, so I always think it is a great name. Not keen on Libby as a short name tho. Bertie is much better.

Joy is fabulous. I love Jocelyn shortened to Joy too.

I'm not keen on Liberty. But Joy is lovely.

Joy is beautiful.

I'm not keen on Liberty, it's hard and clunky to my ears. I do like Libby though. Definitely not Bertie, it's bad enough on a boy.

Sorry, as you can see I'm not keen.
