I like Beatrice.

Nancy is growing on me (i.e. I can see that it might work for someone younger than my auntie).

I love Vivienne but really do not like Viv, which it would inevitably get I think??

Nancy.

I know too many Beas and I'm not so keen on the other 2.

I think they are all nice but as they are all different in sounds, length, last-letters etc I suspect that one of them would go best with whatever your surname is and the others wouldn't so much. Would that help you choose?

Definitely Vivienne for me - love that name.

Don't like Viv as a nn, but I read a book some time ago where the Vivienne was called Vivi.

Ooh! You like exactly the same names as me...except i wouldn't go for Vivienne. Beatrice (Bea) is great and out of the list strikes me as sounding v. sweet but a bit more serious, Nancy as a bit more flighty perhaps but also strong-minded (I'm thinking Oliver Twist and Swallows & Amazons!). Elspeth is nice and unusual. Can't go wrong with any of these!
