I like [name]Leah[/name]. [name]Livia[/name]/[name]Livy[/name]/[name]Libby[/name] seem kinda incomplete to me. What about [name]Linnea[/name]?

My 12 year-old son has a friend named [name]Livy[/name] (female, of course ). I know [name]Olivia[/name] is incredibly popular, but I do prefer the full name with nn [name]Livy[/name]. JMHO.

I also love [name]Livy[/name] as a nickname, but…I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for it (or any of them, sorry). But here’s why:
Instead of [name]Livy[/name], [name]Livia[/name], or [name]Olivia[/name]…how about [name]Liv[/name]?
I’ve always loved [name]Livy[/name] as a nickname, but dislike [name]Olivia[/name] (like you, because of the popularity). So, I chose [name]Liv[/name] as an alternative. I think it’s a great option!

I’d like to add [name]Lydia[/name] as another L name.

I love [name]Livia[/name]! I think it’s so beautiful as a stand alone name.
Second a pps suggestion of [name]Lydia[/name] too, love that.
Also:
[name]Lucinda[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]

[name]Love[/name] them both

[name]Just[/name] wanted to add that [name]Livia[/name] is a legitimate stand-alone name with a separate history than [name]Olivia[/name], going back to ancient [name]Rome[/name]. Most people will assume that it’s short for [name]Olivia[/name], though, and it may be annoying to constantly have to say “no, not [name]Olivia[/name], just [name]Livia[/name].”
