Vivienne is lovely but I imagine it would get shortened, and I don't really like Viv.

Love Rafael.

I don't watch corry so maybe that's why no association - I was thinking of Audrey Hepburn!

Vivienne is a bit streets ahead with me - I was thinking of Vivienne Elizabeth (surname begins with B).

I would like more boys names - thanks! I could wait another two weeks til I find out the gender before posting all of this, but I am a bit obsessed with names!

What do people think about the whole ex-boyfriend thing (not really ex-boyfriend but ex-holiday romance that all my family know about)? My DH likes the name but it feels a bit wrong.

I can't go with Gabriel because existing dd is called Gabriella (I have really outed myself with all of my various posts if anyone does know me!).

Vivienne is such a gorgeous name. If I was to have a baby girl tomorrow, I would name her Vivienne Clementine...... After I screamed "WTF, I didn't even know I was pregnant!!"

Not keen on Rafael, loving Luca

I really like Vivenne or Beatrice. Audrey makes me think of Coronation Street but is a pretty name.

Rafael is nice as well. Other boy names:

David
James
Hugh
Micheal
Colin

Audrey I am hmmmm about, even before we get into corry territory. The girls names are my great aunties' names. Absolutely love them, if I'd had a girl Beatrice would gave definitely been chosen. Raphael? Only know one, and love it. Classic, not too common and actually a very nice name. Well done, OP, good choices. Smile

People put me off Clementine when I put it up here before!

I love Evelyn but a friend has called her daughter that and I would feel wrong.

I do like Luca, but once sort-of dated someone with that name, and so I'm not sure it would be right...

More boys names would be lovely please - maybe I should have given this thread a more enticing title as have not got many posts!

People seem really split on Rafael on other threads I have read, but I'm not sure why...
