I’m expecting baby girl number 3 in 2 months and husband and I can’t decide between
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
Older sisters names are [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. We are considering using husbands middle name ([name_u]Lee[/name_u]) since older sisters share my first name as their middles.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u]
Sophie Leigh or Vivienne Leigh (I’m open to different middle I don’t LOVE Lee/Leigh)
Sophie [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] is lovely!!

Both sound beautiful. Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong!

Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks, I love both but they do have different feels to me…[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] feels soft where [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is strong yet elegant.
Maybe I won’t know until I meet her!?

I really like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] is beautiful!

I love them both and they both go so well with your girls! You could definitely wait until you meet her, you can’t go wrong with either choice!!

Both work perfectly with the sisters’ names. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] is a little rhyme-y, which makes me want to vote [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. ([name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] was the name of an old actress, so maybe that’s why it sounds right. I don’t know if that association would bother you or not, but it’s worth mentioning.)
Definitely can’t go wrong with either, but, again, I like the flow of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] better.

Haha everything you stated has crossed my mind a million times (and I agree!) I was waiting to see if anyone else knew of the actress [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u], many friends and family of mine do not. It did bother me a little, but I want the middle to have meaning, and being that it’s a part of my husband’s, I let it slide.
Another fear I’m having is that [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/ [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] seems to be becoming more popular in my area (preschool age)
Any suggestions for different mn for [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]?
Husband is close to grandmother and she loves birds, I’ve considered [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]…

Thank you, I appreciate your input!
I think [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is adorable!
Sophie [name_u]Lark[/name_u] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] are options… Or maybe something more unique like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Aderyn[/name_f]?

Stylistically, I think [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is a natural fit with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f], but there’s just something about [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. She’s so timeless and full of life! Of the two options you have, [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is by far the more popular - she’s in the top 10 right now in the US. I think I would be inclined to choose [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

Oh really? I know [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is popular according to websites but I honestly do not know one [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]! Funny enough I just met another [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] down the street! It’s the fourth one this year 
I really like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], especially spelt like that. It’s very uncommon and elegant. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is very pretty too but it is quite common and she’ll share her name with a lot of classmates ( not that it’s a bad thing, just something to keep in mind)

Thank you, I agree I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] spelled like this vs other forms, seems more romantic and soft. I must have a thing for [name_u]French[/name_u] which is why I also like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] as it’s the [name_u]French[/name_u] variation of [name_f]Sophia[/name_f].
French names are beautiful, I think [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is [name_u]French[/name_u] too

My mistake! [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] is in the top 10 (she’s at #5), whereas [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] is in the top 100 (she’s at #98). [name_f]My[/name_f] brain tends to lump the two together.
Vivian is at #96, while [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is at #268.
