Want to name my newborn baby girl 'Liberty'

Just became a father of a healthy & beautiful baby girl, whom I would like to give a name “Liberty”. What do you guys think of that name for a living person?

Little background:

I’m European guy, married to a Chinese. We met and dated while studying in US, which is one part of the reason it makes sense for us to give our daughter an American name. But now we live in Hong Kong, so it would be a bit more unusual than in the states. If we do decide to give our daughter a middle name, it would probably be a Chinese one. All Chinese people here usually have American middle names for easier introduction/pronunciation purposes (I call it their Hollywood names).

My personal desire to give our daughter the name Liberty or perhaps some other libertarian name is quite strong. Ever since the Ron Paul Revolution changed the course of my life in 2007, I’ve cared about nothing more than learning about and promoting the ideas of individual freedom. My newly acquired taste of freedom during my studies in the US and now here in Hong Kong today (the worlds’ freest economy) is a solid and constant reminder of how important freedom really is for one’s well being. Well, enough of my blabbering…

Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts.

You can’t go wrong with “Liberty” as a name, in my opinion. It’s an attractive name to statists and non-statists alike.

My daughter is Kira. Those who have read The Fountainhead will recognise the name.

Congrats!! I think the name Liberty is beautiful. The word itself is, rightly so. For further reference, the female lead in Rand’s Anthem was named Liberty 5-3000. Aka The Golden One. 😉

Aaargh! What I should have posted (above) is…

“Those who have read We The Living will recognise the name.”

I never thought I would confuse Ayn Rand novels.

First of all congratulations! I do know a little, kiddo named Liberty, however her parents are some of the worst people. The mom was stealing her husband’s gold coins and the husband treated the wife miserably. Now that I’ve come to know the true character of the mom, I can see why he treated her horribly. So, with all that being said, I believe if you name your kiddo “Liberty” be the kind of parents that will raise a child to truly embody that name, which I’m sure you probably are.

Before you give your child a name, open your door and scream the name 3 or 4 times. Because you will be calling their name for the next 18 years. 🙂

I went to school with a boy named Freedom, so Lady Liberty seems a fine name. (Of course, I also attended school with a boy named Sonny After Noon.)

It’s a wonderful name. The word has an elegance to it, as well as being intriguing as a girl’s name. I think it would be lovely.
