Lieba I assume is Libby.
I've never met a Lolly. Is it short for lollipop?

I know two people named lolly. One is Leah, the other is Elana. I think it can come from any name with an L in it.
Libby is usually Liba.

Another vote for Lali (how it's spelled in my family) being Leah.

That certainly is a better spelling than Lolly.

Libby is usually for Liba.
I know two women named Lolly and one is Leah and the other is Dalia. They are chassidish, but I think it's more of a "cutesy" nickname.

My daughter is Liba. We call her Liba, Libby, or Liba'la. Chassidish.
I love her name. How it sounds, what it means and whom she's named after.

Dumb question:
How are they pronounced? Do I understand correctly that Liba is Lee-ba and Libby is Lib-bee? Wouldn't a more natural nickname be Lee-bee? Or is Liba ever Lib-ba? I guess I don't understand how that nickname came to be.

I actually know someone who spells it Leeba and goes by the nickname leeby.

It is pronounced like the English name Libbie (like the I in "lift"). There are other names pronounced that way: Simi for Sima (which some people always say short), Mimi for Miriam (not meemee), Lizzie for Aliza, etc.. There are names like that in English too.
