Which baby name?

I’m currently pregnant with my third girl and me and my partner have really struggled to agree on a name this time. Both our other daughters names begin with D and I wanted to try and carry this theme on, my partner on the other hand wasn’t too bothered what the name begun with. From the start I really have loved the name Daphne but my partner wasn’t too keen on it, no matter how many times we agree on a name I just know in my heart I truly don’t like it as Daphne is what I’d love. However we both do like the name Vienna, and it is a name I wouldn’t mind calling the baby. What name does everyone like better?

Daphne or Vienna?

the middle name has been determined from the start and that will begin with B.

Team Vienna

I have an irrational dislike of Daphne (all I can hear is the “daf” and “daffy” which is too close to daft for me) .Plus I’m not keen on same initials for same sex siblings as the post might be a pain (less of an issue in a Mr/Miss situation). Having said that, Delphine is similar in style to Daphne but prettier imo, Dahlia too.

Vienna is objectively a very pretty sound but fairly rare as a name, so I suspect she’s going to hear “Ahhhh Vi - ennahhhh” sung to her a lot when she tells a bloke her name for the first time when older, which might get annoying. Similar but very trendy Sienna might be easier if less distinctive.

How about Dahlia? I quite like Devon too

What about Dora or Dionne..They are my two favourite D names. All the people.in my family had names beginning with J..even the dog.. I went on a course once ages ago and as we went round introducing ourselves the tutor asked us all to say something about our families.. I proudly mentioned the thing about all our names beginning with J and he looked at me like I was a piece of dirt under his shoe.🤣

When I hear the word Vienna I think of the song by Ultravox.

I’m sorry but I think Daphne is dreadful. Also not keen on Vienna but it’s better.

Daphne is a dreadful name.
