Those are my girl/boy names. What do you think? I haven’t decided on middle names so would appreciate any suggestions.

Love both Viviana and Lucien! Beautiful classic interesting names - good luck!

I like Lucian. It's a 'big' name though.
I know three Vivienes under 4, so that's back in fashion. They don't seem to get called Viv though.
I like the Bloomsbury group description!

.*Lucien

I also prefer Vivienne to Viviana.
Not keen on Lucien, sorry. I'd go with Lucas instead.

I much prefer Viviana to Vivienne!! It's much prettier. Vivvie is adorable. I also prefer Hugo to Lucien sorry OP x

I know a few Luciens and Lucians and they're generally called by their full name. It's so easy to say! Lovely name.

Stinkytoe · 07/02/2019 11:04

Oh gosh, I hate them!

Lucien I think would get mispronounced as "lou-shen" which would grate on me.

Personally prefer Vivienne but like vivvie as a nickname

daisypond · 07/02/2019 12:31

I like both. Viviana is a bit frilly, though. I think Vivien or, at push, Vivienne, is nicer. I think Lucien is great.

tammytoby · 07/02/2019 12:58

I find Viviana much more elegant and pretty than Vivienne. I know a Bibiana, like that as well.

MrsJane · 07/02/2019 13:16

They sound a bit pretentious and a bit like characters from a Harry Potter... 😬

Rafabella · 07/02/2019 13:36

Love Lucian but prefer Vivienne.

MumUnderTheMoon · 07/02/2019 16:19

I love lucien but I think Viviana is a bit fussy like Vivienne but trying too hard if I'm honest.

MikeUniformMike · 07/02/2019 18:53

Isn't it Lucian? I thought Lucien was a girl's name.
Viviana is a bit too long for my taste.

I know an Italian Viviana, shortened to Vivi
Lovely

Sophronia · 07/02/2019 22:38

I like Viviana

Lucian is the English spelling and Lucien the French spelling
