Liv is cool. Liv is great! I probably wouldn't use it myself - it does seem a little truncated - but it'd be a fun name to have, and therefore is a good name to give, in my book. I'm a fan of Scandinavian names, too, also in that they tie into my heritage (half the reason my mom chose to spell my name the way she did was because "it's the Swedish way!"). I like your mom's recommendations, too; knew a kid named Lars (totally cute, if a brat) who ended up with a baby brother named Soren, which I thought was spectacular.

Re: Stellan, I think it is awesome, and I think it'd be fantastic with Liv. I feel like Stellan used to be pretty hot on the boards and then most people cooled on it, but its awesomeness endures, for me. My other favorites and Magnus & Leif (and Viggo & Roald, recently) for boys; Sunniva, Solveig, & Svea for girls.
