I like it. I can't see myself ever seriously considering it as a name but I love the sound and the concept is more important than any other kind of virtue to me.

---

Liberty Faith however is too much and makes the kid sound like a political statement

I think Liberty is quite cute and Libby makes a nice nn imo. I don't have a problem with either. I think Liberty Faith is a bit much though, as one word name in a combo is plenty for me.

I am starting not to mind it. I like Libby because of an extremely positive association, it sounds very bright and fun to me and not at all fat.

---

I realized the only reason I dislike Liberty is because I do not ALWAYS think liberty should win out over security ALWAYS. I also dislike Faith because it is not a virtue I value very highly. But yeah idk, I don't mind virtue names that much, and Liberty's phonetics aren't bad.

Liberty is alright with a different middle name. Liberty Faith seems a little too hippie or peace-y imo. I hope no one takes offence.

I like Liberty, but I prefer Libertine (pron. li-ber-TEEN)

I love Liberty NN Liby for a girl [m]

---

I also love Liberty for a boy

I think that it sounds beautiful but tacky at the same time. No offense to anyone but I think that Liberty Faith is vey tacky sounding.

I never saw any appeal in the name Liberty. Liberty itself is a good concept, but it sounds like a case of tongue-flop, like flibbertigibbet. Libby makes me think of some big fat farm woman or her favorite cow or pig. Liberty Faith is trying way too hard.

My male cousin is named Liberty.

I do like it. Both. I know it's cheesy, but I think Liberty is a wonderful name. I like the combo Liberty True, especially with her sister Verity Free.

I get the impression that they've just used Liberty because they wanted a "full form" for Libby, which is the wrong way around imo. I hate nicknames to seem contrived.

I maybe would like Liberty, but I don't. It smacks of a cheesy, American sort of sentimentalism that just isn't appealing to me. I say that because I've only come across it as a patriotic name.

---

I really don't like Liberty Faith because that rather doubles the effect :/

I like the name Liberty. It seems romantic to me. I honestly seem to have missed a boat somewhere along the line, because I do not get why people have such a bad impression of it. Nickname Libby is cute.

Liberty Faith, the combo, though, seems a little overbearing, and vaguely suggestive of petty politics to me. That is, in the US, to me, it sounds like the concept Faith modifies Liberty to indicate a particular politics. Maybe I read too much into these things....

Soooooooooo tacky. Liberty is tacky enough on its own, but added Faith to it? Sad, sad, sad. If she has another daughter she'll probably feel inclined to name her Destiny Grace or something. That's one drawback to virtue names. You always feel like you have to theme them to be fair.

I detest Liberty.. I think its terribly trashy. I dislike Libby as a name by itself (but I also hate Elizabeth lol) I'd actually prefer to just be Libby Faith than Liberty Faith

I know a Libby, but it is a nn for Elizabeth. I don't think I like Liberty, but at least Libby works as a nn.
