So the baby is probably a girl and we've been thinking about names. Here's our shortlist so far. We like all of them, my favourite is Vivienne at the moment. I'm wondering if anyone has any other names they think we might like too?

If you really hate one of these names if you can keep it to yourself I'd really appreciate it :) Any positives about them I'm happy to hear them in abundance!

Rosalind
Vivienne
Fleur
Dorothea
Josephine

All lovely names, though Fleur seems more modern than the others. Whichever one you pick, she's likely to be the only one in her class.

All these names (except Fleur) have been picked to be shortened, it's not something I'm fussed about :)

I know what you mean about pronunciation, it's a minefield trying to pick names!

Vivienne is very pretty, the pronounciation issue would put me off Fleur tbh. Marianne and Juliette came to mind for me as names in a similar vein.

Vivienne is beautiful.
I really like all the names on your list, they're timeless and pretty. However, I am never quite sure how to say "Fleur" and I don't think it sounds nice in my (Brummie!) accent.
Also, think how you would feel about people shortening the name - Viv, Rosa/Rose, Dot, Josie?
