Vivienne is a beautiful, unusual name

DeedledeDee · 18/06/2021 02:08

Serena
Vivienne
Lydia
Alice

Alice, by a long shot.

Maybe Alice Vivienne?

FreddieLounds · 18/06/2021 01:16

All four names are lovely. I’d put them in this order:

Selena
Lydia
Vivien(ne)
Alice.

@SleepingStandingUp

But still don't call her Vivienne 🤣
why not ? what's wrong with it ? i think it sounds quite classy, and rather unusual, distinguished.
alexdgr8 · 18/06/2021 00:56

Vivienne
but the others are good too.
vivian is usually a man's name, like viv stanshall, but vivien looks female.

Vivienne

I didn't like Lydia but then someone on MN put Lydia Chlamydia in my brain and now I like it even less Confused.

Habbyhadno · 18/06/2021 00:51

Alice!

HopingForOurRainbowBaby · 18/06/2021 00:36

Vivienne

I think they are all really lovely names. Sorry for your loss, and congrats on this baby Thanks
I think Lydia and Selena work better with your surname.
I wonder how your DD will feel when she's older about her name being chosen because of loss, but Vivienne is a beautiful name.

HereLiveIAmNotACat · 17/06/2021 22:36

Lydia (biased) all beautiful names though!

DarkDarkNight · 17/06/2021 22:35

I like Lydia. Also prefer Serena to Selina.

Bimblybomeyelash · 17/06/2021 22:33

All nice names. I’ve always liked Lydia (totally agree that it ‘reads’ great!) and I like Celina (that spelling looks nicer IMO).

I also like, and think are similarish :

Sylvie
Saskia

Bumzoo · 17/06/2021 22:32

Vivienne. I hate Lydia. I love ViVi

moovinon · 17/06/2021 22:29

Vivienne!

GreySweater · 17/06/2021 22:26

Vivienne by far the nicest

TenBobNote · 17/06/2021 22:25

Lydia by a mile

BillyIsMyBunny · 17/06/2021 22:25

I like Lydia or Alice.

Nextchapterofmybook · 17/06/2021 22:25

Vivienne, classy, romantic and not that common.
I’m sure you’ve thought of it but teenagers can be cruel and Lydia is so quickly Chlamydia

MoreHairyThanScary · 17/06/2021 22:24

Lydia but I am biased dd2 nn is Lula

FlowerPower3110 · 17/06/2021 22:22

Vivienne and Lydia are lovely

Ohgonthenillhaveabrew · 17/06/2021 22:20

Vivienne is beautiful

ODFOx · 17/06/2021 22:08

They are all really lovely names. You have great taste. Say them all in your head with middle name and surname and the voices and accents of those whom you love. It will come to you. Congratulations!

IggyAce · 17/06/2021 22:04

Vivienne gets my vote.

AriadnetheSpider · 17/06/2021 22:01

Selena but I’d spell it Selina. Or even Celine, that would go perfectly with your (approximate!) surname. All lovely and unusual.
