Hi ladies, I was wondering if the name Libby could be shortened? it's already quite a short name, but me and hubby would like a nickname option. 😁 Preferably something unique, as "Lib" and its varients are overused. Thank you lovelies!

Bee maybe?

Libs
Bee-Bee

But, as pps say, I also think Libby won't necessarily get a nn, as it already is a nn, short for Elizabeth.

Are you looking for a nn to use on purpose or just trying to find all the possible nns in case you hate one so much that it puts you off the name? If it's the former, I wouldn't find a nn for a nn. I'd stick with Libby, which is already a nn.

Libby IS the nickname. Put Elizabeth on the birth certificate, call her Libby.

Libby is the nickname

It is a nickname. Libs? Can’t really nickname a nickname,

Hortense?

I mean, I'd probably end up saying Libs at some point if I had a Libby - but it is already a shortened version already

You can't have a nickname for a nickname

Libby is a nickname, for Elizabeth. Why would you want to shorten it further?
