I’ve noticed the trend for most female babies born in 2023 is to end with an ‘a’ which I love but there are so many Mia’s, Emilia’s, Maya’s around. I think I adore Lavinia (from Downtown Abbey etc.) but I don’t actually know any babies with that name. What do you think - adorable or outdated!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think it's nice, and I like the Cora idea too.

If you like it then go for it. I think Cora would be a nicer Downton Abbey name to have.

Have a nickname you are happy to use when the inevitable 'Lav' comes round. Although I don't think children will particularly be making that connection with lavatory as its a very outdated word.

I know a Lavinia, in her 30s, known as Vinnie. Supercool lady and suits the name.
I say go for it.

Could be shortened to Nia instead of Lav.

My great great aunt was Lavinia. Her sisters were Mary, Edith, Harriet, Alice and Lily, all born in the 1880s.
