I like it, it’s pretty and classic! I picture a girl with long flowing brown hair.

I love [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f]! Vintage and elegant.

Lavinia nn [name_f]Liv[/name_f] is bright and brings a modern twist!

Lavinia could have the nn [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Via[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f] maybe?

I like it. I think the show Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] brought it attention (like [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]). I’d never heard either name before the show.

  • Strictly derivative NNs include: [name_f]Liv[/name_f] and [name_u]Vinny[/name_u].
  • However, some NNs aren’t strictly derivative ([name_m]Jim[/name_m] from [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Bobby[/name_u] from [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] from [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], to name a few), so I think alternative NN options might include: [name_f]Nel[/name_f], [name_u]Nev[/name_u], [name_f]Libby[/name_f], [name_u]Laney[/name_u], etc.

I love names like [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] more than I like [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] itself.

I hesitate because it reminds me a bit of [name_f]Laverne[/name_f] or [name_f]Lavonne[/name_f], not names or sounds I like.

NNs [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_m]Vin[/name_m], [name_f]Vinia[/name_f], [name_f]Viney[/name_f]?

I like [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_u]Rue[/name_u].

I really don’t like this name. There’s just something… Off about it. I prefet Okivia for something similar. :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], I’ve had it as a middle name for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] for years and I still find the sound so charming. It’s elegant and melodic. As a nickname I really like [name_f]Lovie[/name_f] / [name_u]Love[/name_u].
