Lavinia

[KAEKAE]

What are your thoughts....good or bad I don't mind!

It's very pretty, but I the first syllable is Lav...... I knew an old one, she said it more like luvinia

No. Sounds like the nasty one in a chalet girls-type mid-20th century teenage novel. And nn Lav.

I like it a lot - even considered using it. But the Titus Andronicus connection put me off.

Lavinia meets such a gruesome end - defiled then tongue and hands cut off. It put me off tbh.

My godmother was a Lavinia, known as Vin. She was a fantastic old lady, so I have very positive associations with this name.

agree that I'd be put off by the Titus Andronicus associations. Not keen on victim-y names.

Agree with umf. To me it's a real 50s boarding school name - and yes possibly the nasty or snobby one. Prefer Pamela or Belinda, should you be going down that route.

Teased for Lav

Definately strong likelyhood that she'd be teased at school.

Love it.

Hmmmm....I see your point about Lav...That hadn't crossed my mind.

Sorry, I don't like it. What about Laura or Larissa/Lara?

I liked Lavinia too but instantly thought 'Lav'.
