We’ve narrowed it down to 4, I have a favourite but my husband doesn’t but out of the 4 my favourite is his least favourite!!

Vivienne
Grace
Amélie
Poppy

Are the contenders! Any thoughts?

Vivienne is by far my favourite. Grace is also nice.

I think Amelie is a bit faddy, and I really don’t like Poppy.

Vivienne

Grace is lovely our dd3 has grace as a middle name but I wish I'd given it to her as a first name. Poppy is also nice.

Vivienne - Vivien is nicer and it will be Viv
Grace - Nice but harsh sounding. Overused as a middle name.
Amélie - Pretty but I dislike the Ammerly pronunciation.
Poppy - nice but cute.

Of them I prefer Poppy.

I love them all except Amelie. Although I do recognise it’s a very pretty name, so I can definitely see the appeal. I think Grace is better as a middle name
Vivienne Grace
Poppy Grace.
Amelie Grace.

Love Grace Amelie or Poppy

Vivi is ok but realistically would most likely get reduced to Viv which sounds a bit like Bev etc

Vivienne is my favourite, Vivi would be a sweet childhood nickname.
Poppy is my least favourite.

Vivienne- do like it- but the thought of Viv would put me off. There's just 'something' that would stop me that I can't quite put my finger on.
Grace- love it!. A timeless, classic and beautiful name.
Amelie- I think it's very popular and as a result I think, what would of otherwise been a lovely name will now date badly.
Poppy- ok for a child or a pet. I'd never use it. I wouldn't want to be a 40yo Poppy.

Grace or Amelie.

I think Poppy would be too cutesy for some adults, and Vivienne still seems very old for a baby to me.
