What do people think? I’m really struggling with a name for DD2 and this is the only one that has come to me - hadn’t considered it first time round. Really don’t like Viv so nickname would be Vivi/Vivvy? But obviously wouldn’t be able to control what she ends up as. Middle name suggestions also welcome! Thank you Smile

@MissHenty DD1 is Anna which I love - strong/classic/elegant. Does Vivienne go with it do you think?

Vivienne Adele
Vivienne Clara

Do you have any other favourites for a module name? I think lots of names would go.

I like it, a know a 2 yo Vivienne. I think it's classic but unusual.

You are going to get some people saying they don't like it. That will be the case for any name though, so if it's the only one you like then go for it. I think you can control nns to some extent - Vivi is perfectly acceptable and you can correct people if you like. I don't personally think people will shorten a little girls name to Viv, it's a bit of a Middle Aged nn, Vivi is more natural for a child.

Middle names - I prefer middle names with meaning, such as a family name or some other meaningful connection.

And if I had a girl she'd be Vivienne Rose

How about Sylvia if you like Vivienne

isayhitocats · 16/10/2019 16:49

It's such a beautiful name

MissHenty · 16/10/2019 16:49

@Herewegoagain84 whats DD1 called

MissHenty · 16/10/2019 16:48

Margaret

I like it. Yes there’s a big risk it could just end up as Viv even if you kept saying “vivi”, viv is just much easier to say (I know this because I know a Vivienne who kept trying to be vivi)

But yes I like the name
