Lavinia girls name?

What do you think of the name Lavinia?

I'm aware of the unfortunate Lavinia in the Shakespeare play, but feel like we can look past that since we had never heard of the play before, so doubt many others will make the connection.

Other names we have in mind are Georgina, and Sunny. We like Annie too but know quite a few Annies already. I keep falling in love with a particular name and then after a few days it just falls flat.

Middle name will most likely be Olive, since I'd like to use my grandmother's name

Last name is one syllable

Also open to other suggestions! I don't like anything that's extremely trendy right now.

Thanks everyone! Smile

It sounds like the name of a climbing shrub but it’s ok.

My grandma was a Lavinia, known as Vin.

If you like Sunny and Lavinia, how about the Scandinavian name Sunniva?

I loved the name... we know one... however my daughter thought it was the lyrics to the lion king song "ah Lavinia..."
