[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are gorgeous

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Beautiful, classic, feminine, recognizable, but not over used. I think it I’d a wonderful name.

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nn [name_f]Liv[/name_f].

I voted for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], but I also really like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

I voted for because you didn’t list a butchering for it

[name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is my favorite, but your other choices are pretty as well.

I just can’t not vote for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is perfect, and I love everything about [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]–the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] ties, the allusions to peace, the femininity, the timelessness, the modern feel. And I think [name_f]Livy[/name_f] and [name_f]Liv[/name_f] are quite possibly the cutest nicknames ever! I just can’t get enough of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].

I like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] next best, I think–[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is generally my favorite spelling, but thinking about [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_u]Vivien[/name_u]/[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] with [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], I have come to see the merits of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_u]Vivien[/name_u]. I’m not sure I can pick a favorite [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]- name now!

Then [name_f]Maya[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (which is sweet, but [name_f]Maya[/name_f]'s not as exciting to me as she once was), then [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. I just don’t “get” [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] on a girl–most people seem to say it almost identically to [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] (would this be true in your case?), but traditionally, [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] is said like eh-LYE-shah, and, to me, feels very masculine because of the Biblical prophet (who wouldn’t be trifled with!). Maybe it’s just my association with the Biblical prophet, but I still can’t wrap my mind around [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] on a girl. There are other [name_f]El[/name_f]- names I like much more, but, even so, much as I’ve tried to see [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]'s appeal, I can’t seem to (even though I love [name_f]Ella[/name_f]), so, for those reasons, [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] ranks last for me. I love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_u]Vivien/name_u, and [name_f]Maya[/name_f], though!

Good luck!

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is beautiful, and I really like [name_f]Liv[/name_f] as a nickname.

From your list, I like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] the best. I think it flows really well.

I have a friend named [name_f]Carissa[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and I also really like that.

My husband is sitting here and told me I need to suggest ‘[name_m]Black[/name_m] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]’ sigh.

Prefer the [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] spelling (as ‘technically’ the [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] spelling was originally male). Nice choices :slight_smile:

I chose [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]

I voted for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], I think it is just lovely! Not to complicate things, but since your middle name and last name are both only one syllable, you could totally rock a longer first name with many syllables if you wanted to. Here are some fun suggestions:

Good luck to you! Let us know what you wind up naming her! :slight_smile:
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Addy[/name_f], [name_f]Laidy[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f]

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] sounds the best to me, but I also like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and adore the nickname [name_f]Liv[/name_f]. Good luck!

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is too popular for my liking, so I vote [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. With an A if you want to go with the standard spelling, with an E if you want to honor [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] the actress.
