I only like Liv as a NN for Olivia, and even then, I prefer Livvy. It just doesn't appeal to me all on its own.

I like it. You don't hear it very often. :-)

I like Liv as a nn for Liviana.

I love it as a nn for Olivia, along with Livvy. As a fn, I think people would assume her name was Olivia.

I love it but think it is a bit too insubstantial. It makes a better nickname or a middle name.

Full name ideas:
Livna
Livnat
Livia
Olivia
Lavinia

Of course it isn't. Ray, Jay, Beau, Gia, Mia, Leah, Dora, Fern, Ivy, Amy, and so on aren't too insubstantial. Why in the world would Liv be?

For the record, I know a Liv my age, and the name suits her beautifully. It's certainly not insubstantial. I know that the current trend is towards long names and nicknames, but they're not as necessary as people seem to currently think. I remember reading a post on another names board where some woman was looking for a suitable "full name" for Amy, and I was really annoyed. If you want to call a little girl Amy, just do it. Don't search for a full name you don't care about so you can use a perfectly well-established name as a nickname.

This is something that's frustrating me lately, heh.

I think it's really nice.

Love Love Love it

I think Liv Tyler made it substantial, anyway

I love it.

Unfourantely, Olivia is sooo popular that many people will assume it's just a nickname. If it wasn't for Olivia, I'd definatly use Liv Anastasia.

I really like this name. I know some people don't think it can stand on its own but I think paired with the right middle name, it's great.

i think it is sorrda wierd but i wouldnt mind it for a nick name!

I love it, I think it's good on it's own. I knew a girl named this and I never thought of it as to much of a NN, I actually prefer it alone then as a nn for Olivia, Liviana or Livia.

I find it very nny. I really dislike short (letter wise) fns as well. Kai is really the only name short of 5 letters I like as a full name (and even then, I never see myself using it).

Liv reminds me of live - and kind of comes across as a very energic, lively personality. It would seem weird as a full name on someone who was calm and not so energic.

---

As a nn, its cute - as a full name, I really cant see it on anyone, any age, unless they are very lively.

But thats just me
