The Statue Of Liberty is named after the word Liberty meaning "freedom." The French gave this statue to the USA as a gift representing the newly aquired freedom granted to the United States Of America!
I love this name. My name is Liberty, everyone loves my name. It's a beautiful name and I chose it because first my name was Cheri then it was changed to Libby by my mum and dad (as someone said if you look up!) I choose Liberty when I was in year two at RAB. Now I am in year five.
It says quite a lot about the parents if they choose this pompous, megalomaniacal name for their poor daughter. They must have some rather big plans and possibly even grand delusions, and delusions of grandeur. Sounds like something religious wackos would name their daughter.
I would like to state that I feel this name should be listed as both Feminine & Masculine. Just like River, Justice, and all of the other nouns-turned-names.
In fact, I named my son Liberty (and no, I am not a "religious wacko".) I chose it because he was born in Guatemala on their Independence Day — Libertad 15 de Septiembre. I knew the pronunciation of Libertad would be butchered beyond recognition when I came back to the states so I gave him the English alternative. 7 years later he has never been teased for his name, and I have never regretted naming him it.

Liberty has suddenly grown on me. Maybe because summer's coming and it makes me think of liberty prints on summer dresses! I think it's best on girls - it just sounds more feminine, like Felicity, another virtue name.
I LOVE Liberty for a boy or girl. Yes, a boy I find it suits a boy better actually. I have found boys named Liberty before. To the person who named their son Liberty good for you! I love it. I'd use it myself.
I love it. Will most likely use it for the protagonist in my story. It has grown on me. I love the meaning. It's not a name I would choose my daughter though.
A famous bearer of this name is the daughter of British Conservative politician George Osborne, Liberty Kate Osborne, by his wife, Frances Osborne née Howell. :-)
Six-year-old Liberty Mae Battaglia was shot and killed by her father, John Battaglia, in his Dallas apartment on May 2nd, 2001. Liberty and her older sister, Faith's, murder was a wake-up call to law enforcement, who over the next few years proceeded to make more airtight, protective domestic violence and abuse laws.
