In that order. I love Lydia it’s such a nice name. Not a fan of Vivienne at all.

Good luck OP.

[quote SleepingStandingUp]@alexdgr8 I apologised for being harsh about it when it had such an important meaning but I still think it's awful. Association I guess. The kid of the annoying woman off Dance Moms. Scowling old woman. I can also imagine a glamorous red head with long wavy hair to fit your classy but she doesn't have an accent local to me that would end Vivienne in an "in" sound.

And tbf I have three boys named names lots on here would hate so its v much personal choice[/quote]
Very unlikely DD will have red hair Grin

Viviana?...

lilsquish · 18/06/2021 11:31

None are particularly my cup of tea but from the list id go with Vivienne. But id call her ViVi with Vivienne as her 'official ' name.

Good luck with her birth, congratulations

Alice

Good luck

BrownEyedGirl80 · 18/06/2021 11:15

Alice

BiBabbles · 18/06/2021 11:13

Leaning slightly towards Lydia, but I think Lydia, Selena, and Vivien(ne) are equally lovely.

Bin85 · 18/06/2021 10:52

Alice

Draculaswedding · 18/06/2021 10:50

Vivienne for the significance of its meaning 💐

pinkmagnolias · 18/06/2021 10:47

Vivienne is beautiful. Angelina Jolie called her youngest daughter that name with the nn Vivi which I think is lovely.

OneMamaAndHerGirl · 18/06/2021 10:28

I regret everyday not calling my daughter Vivienne it’s a beautiful name

Twinkie01 · 18/06/2021 10:26

Say them shortened. Lid, Viv, not so nice.

Ali (what we call our Alice).

Selena not sure how you'd shorten that.

JustineTimee · 18/06/2021 10:22

I love Vivienne the most. It's both beautiful and strong, and Vivi ist a cute nickname.

reprehensibleme · 18/06/2021 10:21

Vivienne then Lydia. Vivienne has some good nickname variants - Viv, Vivvi, Yenny.

Alice is very popular and I find Serena a bit 'missy'.

HannaHat · 18/06/2021 10:15

Vivienne

user1493494961 · 18/06/2021 10:13

Prefer Alice but would choose Lydia to go with Athena.

Sprig1 · 18/06/2021 10:10

Alice.

Goodbyecustardtart · 18/06/2021 10:10

Alice. Lovely.

SquigglePigs · 18/06/2021 10:10

Sorry to hear about your first two DDs. Hope all goes smoothly with this little one.

I love Lydia and Selena is a very close second for me. I'm sorry but I don't like Vivienne at all.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 18/06/2021 10:03

Vivienne or Selena

Lydia Chlamydia and "who the fuck is Alice?" are too strong associations for me

DinosaurDiana · 18/06/2021 10:01

Lydia.

Havanalily1806 · 18/06/2021 10:00

I like Vivienne, also like Alice but all I instantly think of when I hear it is that song “Alice, Alice, who the f is Alice” it’s a shame because it’s a lovely name
