Help[Opinions] Liber
What do you think of Liber? It has potential, right? Personally, I feel like it is more male. How is this pronounced?

what am I?
Chopped Liber? lol
Sorry, but I don't think it makes a good name at all. There's issues with how it's pronounced, and none of the possibilities are very attractive. Libber? Like a women's liberr? Or like liver? Leeber? Ly-ber? No.

LEEber or LIBer, depending on your personal approach to Latin phonetics.
Liber can be a noun meaning 'book' or an adjective meaning 'free' (think 'liberate'). As an adj, it's male - the female form is Libera. As a noun, it's also male, for what that's worth.
I'm not seeing potential. Too much a word rather than a name.

It's not just more male, it is masculine.
In English it's normally LYE-bur but that's probably not the Latin pronunciation. If you're speaking English, using the Latin pronunciation isn't any more "correct" than it would be to pronounce Julia with the initial sound Yoo- in English. But I think it could be LEE-bur in English too if you preferred.
I think it has potential ... to be a really eccentric name in the same way Jupiter and Sirius are. I like it, but it's a GP to me. I'm not nearly bold enough to consider using it. Liberius has more potential, maybe. I also think Liberia would be a cool name ... if it weren't the name of a nation known here mainly for instability and poverty.

I don't like it, though not for the sound (Classical Latin pronunciation: lee-bear, as far as I remember), which is actually pretty nice. However, it sounds lot like liberi, which means children in Latin, so to me it's uncomfortably close to making your kid "Child". Liber itself means book and free, as I remember. If you're going to use it as a name, then it's definitely masculine. Liber is a masculine noun!
