Lydia

AlohaMolly · 17/06/2021 21:11

Alice!

Justmuddlingalong · 17/06/2021 21:12

As long as your surname isn't dustbin, obviously. 😆

PostmanSpaff · 17/06/2021 21:12

Lydia!

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 17/06/2021 21:13

I love Vivienne.

youcanprance · 17/06/2021 21:13

Surname is something like ‘Goodman’. Starts with ‘Good’ so it ‘Goodsomething’

Love Alice but for something a little different I'd go for Selena.Its beautiful.
Lydia for some reason reminds me of a ladybird.

Lydia ♥️

I like the meaning of Vivienne best - It means Alive.

This is the baby we hope won’t pass away in NICU after two DD’s previously

Alice Smile

Selena is quite nice actually too!

NannyR · 17/06/2021 21:14

Lydia

Hotcuppatea · 17/06/2021 21:14

Vivienne.

Floralnomad · 17/06/2021 21:15

Vivienne is lovely .

youcanprance · 17/06/2021 21:16

DH really likes Alice. His other name choices are really not my taste - Charlotte, Abigail, etc

I will have to work a lot of magic to get Lydia, but could get my way! Vivienne he’s meh. Is okay with Selena, also a nice meaning - Moon Goddess

Last DD was Athena, Goddess of War

Serena. Don't like the harsh 'lid' sound in Lydia at all and Alice is wet!

Standrewsschool · 17/06/2021 21:16

Was going to say Selena, but reading about the your reason for Vivienne, swopped to that. Sorry for your previous losses [flower]

youcanprance · 17/06/2021 21:17

@Chunkymenrock that’s funny actually as I quite like the nickname Lids Grin

‘you alright lids?’

Vivienne, although I prefer it spelled Vivien.

I prefer the strength of Vivien; I find Vivienne a bit too frilly and in general I prefer the shorter, less frilly versions of names.

It's definitely my favourite of your list though. Followed by Lydia. Not keen on the other two.

Clickbait · 17/06/2021 21:21

Lydia is my favourite.

HaNNaHC92 · 17/06/2021 21:21

Alice

youcanprance · 17/06/2021 21:21

I do like the spelling ‘Vivian’ but I thought that’s a mans version in some countries?

mrscurrants · 17/06/2021 21:23

Another vote for Vivienne. Very cool

youcanprance · 17/06/2021 21:26

The reason I like Lydia is I like the way it’s said but also like how it looks written down... if that makes sense?

Selena
