Question

how good the name of Liba Naveed as my daughter has this nale?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The name Liba (لِبَّة) means golden necklace.[1]

We could not locate an Arabic origin for the name Naveed. It could, however, be from a Persian origin with the meaning of “good news”.[2]

Liba Naveed is a suitable name.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
