DD2 due next week and we are still struggling with names. Love Isabelle but have cancelled it out due to extreme popularity and myraid of spellings. Like Miranda but husband has vetoed. Have decided Cecily is a bit too "fluffy" for us.

He has suggested Livia - my first reaction was "you mean Olivia?" and I am guessing if we used it then DD2 may well get that reaction too! It's from Roman times. I like it and could be shortened to Liv which I like too.

I wondered what other people thought.

Yes, with Olivia the #1 name and Livia almost unheard of, I think almost everybody will hear it as Olivia or think it's short for Olivia.

I do like Liv - and actually, Liv is a name in its own right (Scandinavian) - Liv Tyler is just a Liv. Again, it has the Olivia problem though, so you may as well go with Livia if you like it.
