Liviana

[FantasticalRide]

I know it will be too fussy for many tastes...

But give me your thoughts.

I love Liv. I dont like Olivia. I like Livia, but not the ancient Rome connotations. Could this be a good compromise....?

I like Liliana and Aviana too, so there is obviously some subconscious '-ana' thing going on

Is it a real name?

Sounds like a contraceptive brand to me! Love Liv though.

Don't like it.

Liv is an acceptable stand-alone name in many countries. And Liv Tyler is just Liv.

Lavinia? It's a bit less fussy sounding.

what about Lavinia ?

Horrid. Sorry.

Sounds made up and fussy.

Really like Liv as a stand alone name, also like Lavinia.

It does sound like you've not been able to make your mind up between a few names and have just cobbled them all together.

Love Lavinia and Lilliana and Livia.
Afraid I really don't like Liviana.

I've come across it before, and I like it!

Is it pronounced the same as lavinia?

I had a friend called that when I was younger and she hated it.

What about viviana nn viv? I too used to like Lavinia but my friend told me it reminded her of lavatory or labia 😱

There are plenty of names ending in "-iana" that aren't made up. Personally I find them a bit too long and frilly, but that's my personal taste I guess.

No OP, but I do like Aviana (Ava).

Not keen. Lavinia. Lydia.

I love Liviana! I prefer it to Lavinia and really dislike Liv as a stand-alone name - it sounds incomplete or like the word 'live' rather than a name.

I also like Livia, Liliana and Luciana.

How about Livana?

I like it. If it's made up it certainly sounds like a bona fide name and a pretty one at that.

Reminds me of liver.

And what's with these made up names.

Liver here too I'm afraid!

Liliana is lovely though. Also Juliana, Alannah, Georgiana, Tatiana for "ana" names.

Its not made up, honestly! Or if it was made up, it was made up a long time ago. Its a very old name in England. I have a distant relative who was named this in the 1800s. It is also not completely unusual in Spain, for some reason. Not sure of the roots of it there.

I like the 'Liv-ee-ah-na' pronunciation more than 'Liv-ee-anna'.

Ho-hum. Not popular on MN, then

OP, if you like Liv, just go with Liv as a standalone name.
