..what else might I like? Must also go with DS's name (Cassius). DP and I really like Vivienne but not sure if it's too 'old lady'. I like classic timeless names that are slightly less popular. Thoughts please?

Juliette?

I think Vivienne is lovely btw.

I think Vivienne is a beautiful name and goes perfectly with Cassius. I am having similar struggles with a couple of names I like at the moment because they're not names i've ever personally heard anyone use for a baby and I worry what people will think. But, it really does only matter if you love the name. The test I keep doing is, if you didn't use it, and you heard that someone else had since called their baby this name, would you feel a pang of regret/envy that you didn't use it?

I already suggested Genevieve but DP isn't keen. I do love Vivienne. The only thing stopping me using it is that I have a feeling a lot of people won't like it. I probably need to get over that though.

Violette?

Vivienne is such a lovely name. It goes with Cassius I think. Genevieve as suggested above is also an excellent choice - and both could be shortened to Viv or Vivi as a nickname if you wanted...

I was going to say Genevieve too. I like Vivienne - it's a lovely name.

Genevieve

Vivienne is not old lady though, I think it's classic and feminine.
