Hello! I am expecting a baby girl next month and am completely stressed out over a name. A little background on our family: I am Vietnamese and Chinese while my hubby is Ashkenazi Jew and British.
We like the names [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], but recently we’ve been fancying [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] bc it’s more common.
We’d like the middle name to be some form of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (named after DH’s great aunt).
I’m just curious as to what other options there are out there! We certainly do like the “v” and “z” sounds.
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Zona[/name_f]
[name_f]Davina[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
Warmest congratulations, @nolimom!
[name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest:
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] Chun Xuan
{A Jewish, a Chinese and a Vietnamese name for your daughter – all meaning “spring (the season).”}
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Kezia[/name_f]
[name_f]Aliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Avia[/name_f]
[name_f]Neva[/name_f]
[name_f]Tova[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Erika[/name_f]
[name_f]Karina[/name_f]
I really like Aviva for you though
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is lovely, as is [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]. A few other ideas:
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]
[name_f]Venetia[/name_f]
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Verona[/name_f]
[name_f]Valerie[/name_f]
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f]
[name_f]Valencia[/name_f]
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be stunning
I think your daughter is going to be a unique mix and absolutely beautiful and needs a name that suits her.

I think [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a gorgeous name and hits the sweet spot of being recognizable, easy to say, and not too common.
I love [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]! [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] I see more on a boy, [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] is ok, but doesn’t sparkle for me!
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is just beautiful.
Variations of [name_f]Rose[/name_f]:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] options:
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Ro[/name_f]- start options:
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_f]Flower[/name_f] names:
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
- there are so many, but maybe just using another flower name would honour your [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is really lovely! Possibly nicknames could be [name_u]Avi[/name_u], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Viv[/name_f]?

I absolutely love your style, and congrats! [name_f]Viveca[/name_f] is the first name that comes to mind, having the rhythm of [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] but the starting sound of [name_f]Veronica[/name_f].

Although I do know of one early teen girl named [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], every time I hear her name I find it jarring as [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is firmly in the male camp for me (& conjures up the image of an old man. [name_f]Aviva[/name_f], on the other hand, is lovely & definitely feminine to my ear.

[name_f]Vada[/name_f] is one of my favourite names. I think [name_f]Vada[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be a beautiful combination.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions!! I really appreciate the help. DH and I have a lot of thinking to do still. ”

Congratulations!
I love [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]! [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Roselle[/name_f] sounds pretty, but [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] is NMS.
Hello! I’m not sure where you live, but in the UK, [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is a very prominent insurance company, so your DH’s British side of the family may find that unusual. Or not. [name_m]Just[/name_m] pointing it out 
I love [name_f]Veronica[/name_f].
I also liked the suggestions of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]?
Best of luck!
