[Opinions] Liberty?
me again, but just a thought,
Opinions on the name Liberty? (nn = Libby) i actually like it, i could imagine it on a strong woman, it sounds very forceful when said aloud, more so than pretty Serenity.
Like freedom, but that's a bit much maybe for a name! A little revolutionary. Saoirse is nice too (sayr-sha/seer-sha) means freedom in irish.

OK, I'm a name traditionalist, but I like Liberty (nn Libby). I like America too (*blushes*).I love Saoirse.

Not something I would use, but it's catchy. I love Libby.Leslie, lucky mommy to Scott (2000), Delaney (2002), and Larissa (2005)

I like it for either sex, but better for female because of nn Libby. The nn could take the "force" out of it when appropriate. I'd be considering using this name for my daughter, if our last name didn't start with Be--- (whole name sounds like Liberty Bell, kinda, and Libby B. is just baaad)Revolutionary, forceful? What the heck. I see what you mean, but the idea that it's in-anyone's-face is fascinating, and a reason it ought to be used .. the statement being, why is this name a statement at all? It shouldn't be. It's just a normal value-name, like Faith...- chazda

I don't usually like word names, and Liberty is not an exception. I'd prefer it as a middle name.I do like Saoirse, even though I think it is bordering on being cheesy.Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I know a cat named Liberty. While I think it's great for a cat, I'd stick with real names for a kid. Saiorse is very nice, although it'll get mispronounced a lot, unless you're in Ireland.

Liberty is ok. I would have to have a special reason to use it, though, as I don't feel that it's a name to be used arbitrarily.

It's too much of a word to me. I just can't think of it as a name.
