Liberty?

What do you guys think of [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]? I’ve already got [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] so does it sound way too hippy and kookie in my sibset? I love its free-spirited feel, and was thinking of using it as a middle name, but I’m revisiting it as a first. We’d likely use nn [name_f]Libby[/name_f], which is a nod to my Grandmother, [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

I like it! It has a great meaning, and I think it’s fine with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]! [name_f]Junie[/name_f] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_f]Libby[/name_f]! Very very cute! :slight_smile:

I think it goes well with the other children’s names, and the nickname [name_f]Libby[/name_f] gives it some versatility.

I love [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]! I think it’s great with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], and it is great for honoring your grandmother!

I’m surprised by the positive responses! I don’t know why I’m so surprised, [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] is a lovely name but I’d never considered it a possibility with my sibset. I do absolutely love my kids’ names but I do get a lot of comments about how hippyish they are, so I can’t decide whether [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] would tip us over into full on tie-dye territory :smiley:

I like [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]! It sounds very good with the siblings and [name_f]Libby[/name_f] is darling. There is also the nn [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] / [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] (pronounced the same in my region) which I just love.

I love [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]! I’ve never considered [name_f]Libby[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] before; I don’t know how I missed it! Nicknaming her [name_f]Libby[/name_f] is a great way to honor an [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Also, I think it works in your sibset, I wouldn’t worry about it. I would love to meet a little [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]!

I really like [name_f]Liberty[/name_f], especially with your sibset.

I dislike [name_f]Liberty[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]/[name_f]Libby[/name_f] with [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] but I think [name_f]Myra[/name_f] would also go well.

I like [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]. If you’re already getting comments about having hippie names, then the worst that can happen is that those comments continue.

That’s a very good point :D:D::smiley:

[name_f]Liberty[/name_f] is nms but I don’t think it’s a bad name at all and it is cute with your other children’s names. I think it’s worth mentioning that I know a girl named [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]. She is fifteen and is teased at school occasionally with people quoting the pledge of allegience at her “With [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] and justice for all” and she is also compared to the Statue of [name_f]Liberty[/name_f]. Neither is terribly offensive of course but she does find it annoying- just something to consider.

It’s not my taste.
