Liberty

Liberty, of course, simply means "freedom." It comes from the Latin libertas, which is derived from liber, meaning "free." Liberty has appeared on the list of top 1000 names for girls in the U.S. since 2001, and is currently in the top 500. The reasons for this are probably obvious, considering the times. Giving a baby a name that reflects the attitudes and values of the parents can be admirable, and granted, Liberty has the potential to be a very nice name. It even comes with built-in possibilities for nicknames; Lib, Libbie, and Bertie. I'd be very careful about using Liberty as a given name for a daughter, however. Be aware that she's going to hear every variation on "give me Liberty or give me death," and "taking liberties," among other phrases, often enough in her life to be sick of them early on. My advice would be to use Liberty as a middle name if you must use it at all, and if you are truly determined to use it as your daughter's first name, at least avoid any temptations to use "Belle" as her middle name.
