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)

Anyone else remember those triangular biscuits, milk chocolate Vienna?
Mainly it makes me think of Ultravox, Mr Rigsby's cat and Vienetta, like pp.

Came on to say “oooohhhhhhh
Viennaaaaaa” but I see I’ve been beaten to it by about thirty other posters.

It’s a good song though, and a pretty name. If you like it, use it. But be prepared for people to sing at her.

I think just the same as everyone else - the song and Vienetta icecream!

If you want something that sounds familiar but will never be mistaken for her place of conception, what about Fiona?

Um. No.

Rigsby's cat? Goodnight? Why not Vienetta? Equally appealing.

Makes me think of ice cream if a child had the name. I lived in the city for 2 years and, as a name, it would still make me think of vienettas rather than the actual place.

The best ones are the Käsekreine at this little corner stalls !

Ohhhh I’m not normally sure about place names/weird names as baby names but you might be into something.

But then I do really love Billy Joel’s Vienna and the meaning behind it, so it’s imbued with that for me and I think it’s a lovely name to give to a child because of that!

3 minutes in but whole thing worth watching :)

*onto something

Ooooh Vienna! 31st poster to say same thing 🎶

Rigsby's 😺

We're all obviously in our 50's! 😅 It means nothing to me, ahhh Vienna 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I like it

I always assumed that the girls’ name was a reference to the colour / pigment rather than directly to the city.

Vivienne?

Quite like it. Do you have a connection to Vienna? Bit random if not.

Have also heard the name Vienne which sounds nice.

Sorry but I just think of the cat's name from Rising Damp.

Speak for yourself, @Allthismidnighttalking - I’m in my thirties!

No

Ha sorry! How do you remember Rigsby's cat then?!

I don’t! I just sang Vienna… although my grandma did have a VHS of Rising Damp so I’m sure I watched it!

Given that it's so similar to the very popular Sienna. It definitely sounds ok. My issue with it would be that everyone would assume that she was conceived in Vienna - including your DD as time goes on.

This.

I’d say it’s the hormones, but then I don’t like Sienna. It could be worse, she can always call herself Vivi

Oh God yes there is this.

Its your hormones.. don't do it. Vienna is a capital,city .. at,somw age kids will twig and will mock her. And most adults know and will silently rhink its a wierd name, wit,ha wierd story like is that where she was conceived.

Just ... no ...

There are no shades of unique.

I just hear SAUSAGE
