Vienna

[stqueen]

For a girl. . .? My favourite girl's name is Sophia but I'm put off by how popular it has become.

Any suggestions on middle names for Vienna?

It makes me think of ice cream, sorry.

I do quite like Teddie, if it was a nn. There's lots of lovely girls' Ed- names to choose from.

no, it's so silly.

I really like Vivien though

Sienna?
A mix between Sophia and Vienna

A Vienna is a kind of sausage. That would put me off.

Sienna has a similar sound but is actually a name.

Middle names for Vienna if you won't be dissuaded:
Following the Austrian cities theme: Innsbruck, Saltzburg.
Following the European Capitals theme: Edinburgh, Berlin, Madrid
Following the hits of Ultravox theme: Lament, Hosanna, Astradyne

There is a Vienna in my DD's class at school. My DH always sings Ultravox whenever her name is mentioned . I don't mind the name, it kind of grows on you. I did think that she was probably a one off but there is another one at my DS's nursery! What are the chance in a small market town of 2 girls being called Vienna. I know more Viennas than Chloes or Sophies.

It is nice enough as long as you don't mind being (or worse your DD) being asked if that's where she was conceived.

I like it! Much better than using a super popular name (i.e. Sophia, as you mention!)

it is lovely but I much prefer Hamburg or Budapest

Or Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantisiliogogogoch...

Not keen on Vienna. It means nothing to me (done before)

If you are insistent on naming your DD after a European capital city, perhaps Athena, Sofia or Paris.

Buda is cute for a boy.

but not Pest?

Yes to Pest; for those Jekyll and Hyde moments.

As I read this thread they were literally just playing Vienna by Ultravox on Radio 2!

the feeling you give me means nothing to me, this means nothing to me
oooohhhhhhhhhh VIEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNA.

There's a damn good reason not to use it...

I'd just have the song going round and round in my head all the time….
I had a tutor at Uni called Cecilia….for a whole year every time I saw her, all I could hear in my head was the Simon & Garfunkel song "Ceceeeeelia, you're breaking my heart…" etc!!
Maybe it's just me though…

No it isn't just you. I love the name but I have to control myself from singing Ceceeeeeelia every time I meet one. DH has a middle name (quite unusual so can't post here as will out me) that is also the name of a song. His entire teen years were spent with anyone and everyone singing it at full volume when it came to light. At least it was character building!

I would really like it...certainly love the song...but I teach a Vienna. Noooooooooooo!!

Vienna Sienna?
And it's goodnight Vienna
