Vienna

[Klex]

Before i add it to my list, is this nice or just hormones talking?

I've known a couple of Siennas over the years so this seems like a slightly unusual take on it.

I looked at the stats for its usage over the years in my country and while its never been super common, the last couple of years has seen a spike in the number of girls named Vienna. (38 since 1974 but 23 of those were in the last 5 years)

Good night Vienna

This is what I thought

It's my DDs name. Her dad chose it and I went along with it just to keep him happy. To be honest, Im not that keen on it. At the time, I thought "ok" she'll grow up and be a "girly girl" and that it would suit her, but she's such a tomboy, skateboards, football, etc, and it doesn't suit her at all. I never call her by it. I shorten it to Vie, and that's what everyone including her, uses now.

The song 'Vienna'

And a city complicit in the Holocaust.

Give her something to talk about!

I want to sing 'OHHHHHHHHHHH, VIENNA!' too.

sorry.

I wouldn’t go for a place as a name. How about Vivien / Vivienne

Capital of Austria
80s song

Not my cup of tea but everyone's different!

Wien

I think anyone my age (50s) would have ooooohhhhhh Vienna running through their heads.

Her schoolfriends wouldn't know the song, though.

Ha ha yes!

Like a PP it makes me think of vienetta - not that that's a bad thing of course! But it's not for me.

Sausages.

Nice sound - but it's a tasty hot dog brand, and the city is Wien, with the adjective Wiener.

I don't think its usable as a name.

Noooooooooo

I prefer Sienna.
Do you like Mietta? French for small sweet thing.

I think unless there is some sort of meaningful connection to the city its a bit odd.

No, you would get people singing the ultravox song at you - badly, and that would get very wearing very quickly

@user1492757084 , according to my quick search, Mietta means minor and sugary. Not sure anyone would want to be called that.

Does it have a similar inspiration to the Beckham's naming Brooklyn? I have known of other Brooklyns but think when people hear a name that is a place name they will make the Beckham/Brooklyn connection.

No too Jeremy Kyle for me

dreadful

Ooh no.

It a a name of a sausage, and a cheap one at that.

Not for me but if you like it go for it. What you name your baby is up to you really

Mietta is not French. "Miette" means crumb if that's what you're thinking of.

You could go for Venetia instead
