Expecting baby girl and trying on names. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Libby[/name_f] (full name Elizabeth) or [name_u]Layne[/name_u]? [name_u]Or[/name_u] what do you like about both of them? Type of girl you picture? Type of adult?
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] âLibbyâ is my favourite! I picture a carefree happy girl, skipping through the meadows and making strawberry jam. I prefer the sound of [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_f]Libby[/name_f] to [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_u]Layne[/name_u].
I prefer [name_u]Layne[/name_u]. Itâs cool and feels fresh but still familiar. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is too common in my opinion, and [name_f]Libby[/name_f] is my least favorite nickname for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].
Oh, gosh, theyâre both adorable. I think they both have a bit of a tomboy flair. I picture a confident woman behind both namesâself-assured, strong sense of identity.
Maybe picture which name youâd rather have for yourself? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel more like a person who would want the timeless, feminine full name to fall back on, but likes the casual nickname for everyday wear? [name_u]Or[/name_u] more like a person who has a name thatâs more what-you-see-is-what-you-get?
I donât think thereâs a wrong answer here!
I absolutely love [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] âLibbyâ!! [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is elegant, regal, strong, timeless and has so many fantastic associations in relation to history and literacy. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is gorgeous. As for the nickname [name_f]Libby[/name_f] sheâs beyond fun such a sugary sweet vintage nickname that provides a carefree summer day feel to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Great name! Finally I think [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] âLibbyâ work way way better together than [name_m]Luke[/name_m] + [name_u]Layne[/name_u]. Also you could always go [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] âLibbyâ [name_u]Layne[/name_u] that would be gorgeous!
I prefer [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] because your daughter can go anywhere with that - happy [name_f]Libby[/name_f], studious [name_f]Beth[/name_f], fun times [name_f]Lizzy[/name_f], or artsy Betsy/Lily. Overall, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] to be is a take me seriously name, while still being gentle and romantic to say. [name_u]Layne[/name_u] to me is a beachy/ surfer girl name (it might be something else where you Iive). Itâs quite cool but much more restrictive.
[name_f]Libby[/name_f] is really cute and I like the classic [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] with classic [name_m]Luke[/name_m].
Seeing [name_u]Layne[/name_u] makes me want to suggest [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] for you. [name_m]Luke[/name_m] & [name_u]Delaney[/name_u]. Feels slightly unexpected but not totally mismatched to me.
Weâve got a Liddy (Lydia) so Iâm drawn to [name_f]Libby[/name_f]!
We know a [name_f]Lainey[/name_f] and I think I prefer that over [name_u]Layne[/name_u]. It could stand alone or be short for Elaine/Elaina or related name.
