Which baby name?

I’m currently pregnant with my third girl and me and my partner have really struggled to agree on a name this time. Both our other daughters names begin with D and I wanted to try and carry this theme on, my partner on the other hand wasn’t too bothered what the name begun with. From the start I really have loved the name Daphne but my partner wasn’t too keen on it, no matter how many times we agree on a name I just know in my heart I truly don’t like it as Daphne is what I’d love. However we both do like the name Vienna, and it is a name I wouldn’t mind calling the baby. What name does everyone like better?

Daphne or Vienna?

the middle name has been determined from the start and that will begin with B.

Daphne

Well, one of them is a recognised name, and the other one will mean a lifetime of "Sienna? Oh, Vee-enna? Isn't that a place? Did your parents go on honeymoon there or something? Were you conceived there? Hey, there's a song that goes like that, isn't there... Goes 'oh...Vienna!' Hey, do you remember Viennetta ice cream?" and so on.

Vienna is a pretty sound, but I'd always rather give a child a name that will be easy for them to wear. Daphne is lovely.

Out of those two, definitely Daphne.

Well the answer is obvious, Vienna, as it's the one you both like.

Sorry but if Dad isn't keen, you need to let Daphne go

Daphne

Daphne's OK but Vienna is awful.

Daphne. Love that name.
