Full name for Libby?

We’re set on calling dd Libby - dp and I just can’t agree on what it should be short for.

He likes Elisabeth, I prefer Liberty.

We’ve also considered Olivia (but it’s so popular at the moment), and we both really like Lydia (but it seems like Lydie would be a more obvious nn)

Any thoughts?

My cousin called her dd Libby. Just Libby. Some of the family gutted!

Tutted not gutted 😂

Libertine is the name of the one I know.

I was known as the 'cuter' shortened version of my name for the first 18 years of my life, then took a dislike to it and have been known as the full name ever since.
I think it's nice to have the option.

I love the name Elisabeth, precisely because it's got so many short variations for the owner to chose from.

Elizabeth.

It's Elizabeth.

Elizabeth often becomes Lizzy or Beth. Lovely names.

Liberty or Libertine would naturally shorten to Libby. I'm not so keen on these.

Libby is short for Elizabeth.

Liberty works too, but Liberty is a pretty dire "name".

It is not a shortening for Olivia (that is Liv/Livvy), or Lydia.
