Hi,

I am due with a baby girl soon and husband and I are between 3 names: Vivian/Vivienne, Sylvie, or Juliet. We want something classic and not too common. Please let me know your thoughts on these names and which you like most! Thanks!

We have matching tastes, OP. I love them all.

Juliet is my favourite. I would have used it myself, but DH vetoed it.
Sylvie is beautiful.
Vivienne is lovely, but I can't say it without a French accent (which i actually prefer). Vivien is nice but probably my least favourite. I love Vivi, though. If we had another DD, she would be Genevieve nn Vivi.

Vivienne is lovely. I really love the nn Vivi
Juliet is pretty and Jules would be cute. I think I prefer the Juliette spelling though
Sylvie is nice but I struggle picturing it on a baby and small child

Sylvia is horrible. Silvia if you're Italian is OK. Sylvie is ok if you are French.
Vivian is a bloke. Vivien or Vivienne is ok.
Not keen on Juliet as I know many Julias and I don't like it pronounced Julie-Ette. Jooly-et or Jool-yet pronunciation is quite nice.

Juliet - love it
Sylvie - very popular
Vivienne - just awful

Vivienne

Juliet would be my favourite, but with the Juliette spelling. Sylvie is a nice name too.

I don't like it pronounced Julie-Ette. Jooly-et or Jool-yet pronunciation is quite nice.

Say what now? Julie-Ette is the same as Jooly-et isn't it?

IHeartKingThistle · 23/01/2017 09:06

They sound the same to me!

I like Juliet and Sylvie.

Wow the love for Juliet is huge on here. It is a lovely name, but I much prefer Sylvie (with the e) and Vivienne! Love them both equally. They seem much fresher and more current than Juliet. Three great names though.

Another vote for Juliet
