Crushing on Vivienne...

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

My husband and I are expecting baby number 2 and are on team green. We are trying to decide on a beautiful girl’s name to match our daughter’s name ([name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]) in case this bub is also a beautiful girl.

We have loved the name [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] since I was pregnant with my daughter but we need some help to find a combo that we fall in love with.

So far we have…
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

I’m sure that there are some other lovely combos out there though so help us fall in love. Also what nicknames would you use for [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]?

Thanks! :slight_smile:”

Thanks for your reply :blush:. We love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] as a nickname. It’s so pretty and spirited. And [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] is gorgeous.

5

I’d nickname a [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Vivi[/name_f], [name_f]Viv[/name_f], or maybe Vee.

My first middle name thought was [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]… so I guess that’s out!

Sorry for any repeats, but you might like:

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (which unexpectedly I kind of think works well)

Or if you’d like something weightier:

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]

Nicknames for [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] could be Enne, [name_f]Vi[/name_f], [name_f]Viv[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and Vien. I feel that [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] goes well with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].

Thanks for the replies. I can’t sell hubby on many of those names and we seem to keep coming back to [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. It’s the name we had picked out as a backup for our daughter. I guess my only concern is that our last name starts with a hard “C” sound and I wonder if it would be too clunky… Thoughts anyone or other suggestions?

I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] together.

Some ideas:
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

Oh my goodness. My dream sibset for girls is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I have [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] on my list with [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] ([name_u]Gray[/name_u]) as a middle name.

10

We have a [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] her nickname is [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] my dad calls her [name_f]Viv[/name_f]. Our older daughter called her Bibienne when she was born so she got called bibi and bibienne a lot as well.

Our last name also has a hard C and our older daughter is [name_f]Lilla[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u], which I think works because of how soft her first name is. Since [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] ends on the hard N sound I don’t like it followed by 2 hard C sounds. So my vote is for [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

I would love to use [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] but I can’t sell DH on it. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] sound perfect together. Good luck!

double post sorry

Thank you for saying so! I absolutely adore this sibset but I know some members of my family might not like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. You have given me confidence to use it anyway. It’s just darling with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] :slight_smile:

It’s gorgeous the unintended nicknames that come out hey? You have beautifully named daughters by the way. You have given us something to think about regarding [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. It’s a gorgeous combo but might be too much with our last name. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the ideas! I’ll have to run them past hubby :slight_smile:

15

What about [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u] if the C on [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is a problem with your last name?

Or perhaps:

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]

Good luck!

Thanks for the idea. I don’t know why but we just love [name_f]Claire[/name_f] more for some reason.
