Re: My name is Liberty, i like it but......
love your name is all that i can say, which you have already said that you do, but still i dont think that you should complain, having a unique name is cool! like my name is Shawna, and there are hardly anyone out there whos name is that and i love it, i cant get nicknames from mine, i wish i could, i cant even find those stupid license plate thingys with my name! that sux, b/c when i was a kid, i really wanted one and we could never find one, so take my advice and forget whatever people say, b/c in the long run it wont matter. or you could completely ignore me and continue to complain until it gets on everyones nerves, its up to you to decide what youre going to do and in the long run your the only one thatll matter.

you guys are right but I don't like the idea of being called Libby, it reminds to much of the food and that fruity girl on Sabrina. Nan, i went to your googles.com site and I found nothing to really explain my name=(By the way, my friend's name is Chereita and she gets really steamed whenever somebody spells it with an 's'. I think its pretty funny but she doesn't.Liberty

"...you guys are right but I don't like the idea of being called Libby, it reminds to much of the food and that fruity girl on Sabrina."@@@@ "Libby" reminds me of Premiere magazine's witty film critic, Libby Waxman-Gelner (who's actually a guy writing under that name as his nom de plume)."Nan, i went to your googles.com site and I found nothing to really explain my name"@@@@ Go back to www.google.com and type these 3 key words into the Google Search box: Liberty baby names"By the way, my friend's name is Chereita and she gets really steamed whenever somebody spells it with an 's'.

Funny you should mention how uncommon your name is, because here in central Kentucky it's not uncommon at all; in fact, a Shawna checked me out at Wal-Mart last night (yeah, Nan, that's FOUR visits since November - nyah!).Can identify with the license plate problem tho. I was too old for "license plate thingys" (altho my REAL plate has been DAIVIDH for three cars now) but my son Ian could never find one with his name fifteen years back. Finally his granddad brought him one from New Zealand. Now the "IAN" ones are common as dirt!Like you say, having a unique name can be cool, but it comes at a price.

well, i live in ga and there are some shawnas but they spell them all different like shauna, shana, or shanna and people are always mispronouncing it, which is frustrating, but its cool.

My name is Shauna and i have a friend called Shana. It is quite confusing sometimes, but it's ok. I really like my name!

"...in fact, a Shawna checked me out at Wal-Mart last night..."Oh man, you've got Wal-Mart chicks checkin' you out now? You keep this up, and we'll all be seeing you and Jennifer on the Jerry Springer Show one of these days. :)-- Nanaea

Actually, there are probably some things about us older guys that are attractive to younger women (besides the no-line bifocals, of course), but for the life of me I can't remember them at the moment...Unfortunately, the only "checkin' out" this Shawna did was to take my money and pop her gum a few times agreeably in my direction. With her bleached hair and slashed neckline, she did have a certain trampy allure, but I figure she was more my son's type than mine.Besides, Jennifer was right there... :)
