At the moment it's our number one but I wanted to gauge your thoughts as I've never met or really heard of anyone with that name (besides the girl in Downton a few years back!). Its classic and unique which is what we're aiming for. Any thoughts or ideas very welcome! x

I love the sound of it but it always makes me think of the tragic Lavinia in Titus Andronicus

Neither one nor t'other for me
Not bad, not stunning, same as many names
Why would you think love it or hate it were the likely options?

I've only ever come across one Lavinia and she was a cow! This probably puts me off the name slightly. I also think it's a bit fussy but if you like it then go for it - there are definitely worse names out there!
