Hi! I am in labor and panicking at the last moment on the sister name for Vivienne. We had another name picked out but we last min decided against it. I know Genevieve is similarish but we adore the name. We are down to:
I much prefer [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (although [name_u]Camille[/name_u] is nice too), but it’s too similar to [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] for my taste. Went with [name_u]Camille[/name_u] for that reason.
Both gorgeous! I voted for Genevieve Pearl because I think it goes slightly better with Vivienne, but honestly, your baby girl is going to have an awesome name! Congratulations
When you’ll meet her, maybe one of the names will just feel right
I also prefer [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] but I think it’s too similar to [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_u]Camille[/name_u] work well as sisters, and [name_u]Camille[/name_u] has lots of nickname options - [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Cam[/name_u], [name_f]Cammie[/name_f].
Just out of interest, what is the name you had but decided you weren’t going to use it?
We had a few. We thought we were set on [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] but figured it was much too common.
Names we really liked
-[name_f]Colette[/name_f] (don’t like lettie or coco as nn… coco sounds like a dogs name to me)
-[name_f]Esme[/name_f] (husband wasn’t 100%)
-[name_f]Margot[/name_f] (no good nicknames… )
I agree with @futuremama: [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] are rather too similar for sisters. But [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] & [name_u]Camille[/name_u] make a lovely pair!
I voted [name_u]Camille[/name_u] because I adore [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and I like that [name_u]Camille[/name_u] sounds a little more different from [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]! From your other considerations, I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f]–I actually think you could use pretty much any [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn (maybe [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Meg[/name_f]?) if you wanted to!
I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] but like others said, too similar to [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. I actually have a niece named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Viv[/name_f].
Millie is a lovely nn for [name_u]Camille[/name_u] and a name I love! [name_f]Cami[/name_f] could be a cute option to. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] would work too with [name_u]Camille[/name_u] though it does work a little more naturally with [name_f]Camila[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and can’t vote against it!
I agree that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] sound similar, but to me [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] offers so many nickname options that that doesn’t seem like such a hurdle. ([name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Neve[/name_f]!)
I voted for [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] because I prefer it as a combo to [name_u]Camille[/name_u] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] but in saying that, I do think [name_u]Camille[/name_u] is a lovely name. Although if [name_f]Margot[/name_f] was still an option that’d definitely win for me! If nicknames are an issue, how about Go Go? I think that’s quite sweet…
