Really like Libby for a girl. I know i could just call her Libby, but what else could it be shortened for? Not Elizabeth, and hubby doesn't like Liberty. Was thinking of Grace for middle name - does it go??

Thanks

How about Olivia? I know that Liv or Livvy is the usual shortened name but Libby could work. x

Eliza maybe? Sorry...can't think past Elizabeth/Olivia!
Libby is a lovely name in it's own right...and Libby Grace is very pretty :-)

I would stick with Libby, my little girl is called Libby Anne, and everyone says its such a lovley name. we were going to go with Elizabeth but it didnt gel with us and Libby was just right on its own. it not a common name to witch we liked. hope all goes well.

tbh, i dont see the point of people wanting name but trying to think of something they have not already thought of to shorten it to????????? makes to sense........not to me anyway?!

I love Libby Grace on its own, but can understand why u may want another name that Libby is the nn for :)
I have an Alexander James aka Alex J, and a Charlotte Louise aka Lottie Lou, or Charlie Bear! lol. i think its nice that they can choose between the aka name and the ( on the birth certificate name )
My next will probably be Lucas aka luke, or Georga / Georgina aka Georgie or George, or Lauren aka Lolly :)
Let us know what u decide hun. xxx
