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

Have you seen it anywhere OP?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/11/2019 14:35

Liberty. Lillibelle. Elizabeth. Isabelle

eternallybaffled · 13/11/2019 15:22

Instant thoughts- Labia, Gadaffi 🙈

NameChange84 · 13/11/2019 15:27

No way! Why would you name a child after a country that's had so much awful stuff happen, especially recently?!

Livia is nice. Liberty nn Libby is acceptable.

I know a few Persias if geographical names are your kind of thing (you mention India). I also knew an Oceana.

Celebelly · 13/11/2019 15:29

You do know it's a country, yes? And not one with particularly pleasant connotations in recent years. I hear Libya, I think Gaddafi...

pinkcardi · 13/11/2019 15:33

Livia is lovely.

Lybia can't be disconnected with the country. It's not a place that I'd want to be named after, with it's troubled past and uncertain future. As an aside, my father worked their once. He was driven in armoured vehicles, accompanied by armed guards and stayed in a building which was protected by 4 machine gun turrets. It was so incredibly dangerous.

You really can't call her that name, despite the lovely meaning that you've found

habipprtyh · 13/11/2019 15:33

Libya? As in the people who bombed a plane over Scotland killing 100's of people Hmm

Yeah, sound choice Confused

graziemille567 · 13/11/2019 15:36

This is a joke, right? Seriously, please do not name your child after a war torn country.

Celebelly · 13/11/2019 15:38

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the OP didn't know it was a country... Confused That's the only reason I could think of that you would consider it!

How about Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Demi for short.

PaddyF0dder · 13/11/2019 15:51

Libya?

That’s f’ing hilarious. Holy moly.

On you go OP. You call your kid that.

'Oh I've found a lovely name that means 'noble' and 'wolf' and those meanings really resonate with us. So what do you all think of the name Adolf?'

Sorry Grin

FavouriteSoul · 13/11/2019 15:58

Call her Olivia, Libby for short. Not Libya FFS.

IWorkAtTheCheescakeFactory · 13/11/2019 16:00

Grin clearly a joke.

Libby is bad too. Round here Libby is a chain smoker in her 60’s with a voice like a bag of angry wasps and a union flag on her house. Grin

PineappleDanish · 13/11/2019 16:01

NO WAY.

Just because Jordan and India are almost acceptable as children's names, that doesn't mean you can stick a pin in an atlas. It's a child, not a Womble.

whatsthecraic91 · 13/11/2019 16:04

My first thought was Labia, what about vulva or fanny as an alternative?

Celebelly · 13/11/2019 16:05

It's a child, not a Womble.

GrinGrinGrin This is amazing

DerbyshireGirly · 13/11/2019 16:13

What about Isis?

KindnessCrusader · 13/11/2019 16:31

@DerbyshireGirly I know a 20 year old Isis. Everyone always said it was a beautiful name. And it is. But it's ruined now Sad

BonBon411 · 13/11/2019 16:37

@orangeteal who in their most unreal dreams would give a baby girl the name of Labia? Why not just name her Vagina or Placenta? Dang!

ballsdeep · 13/11/2019 16:38

@orangeteel that made me lol

sausagepastapot · 13/11/2019 16:44

That is hellish. Don't do it.

SteamedPotatoes · 13/11/2019 16:44

Labia Marjory

BonBon411 · 13/11/2019 16:50

@SteamedPotatoes Labia Marjory
