HelpLiv is a Scandinavian formal name in itself, not a nn
in reply to a message by Isla
Liv is indeed pronounced as "leave" and means "life".
But I guess Americans use it as a nn for Olivia, then pronounced with a short I-sound (Livv).
Leo and Lucy are also formal names in themselves. Lucy is not more a nn than Mary is a nn for Maria.
"But it’s all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You see you can’t please everyone
So you got to please yourself."
