I am expecting my second baby in [name_u]January[/name_u] and we have decided to not find out the baby’s sex until birth. So the challenge of finding two names begins!
My daughter is called [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]), both names have family links. For this baby, if its a girl, I am thinking of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], though there is no family link there. Any thoughts on [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] as a choice, and do you think it fits with [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]? Also, if anyone has other suggestions for a middle name I’d love to hear them! Our last name begins with S and has 3 syllables, so names that end in an ‘s’ sound are out, and I would prefer a 1 or 2 syllable name for the flow.
Some family names include: [name_f]Myra[/name_f], [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] and [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. Other names have been used to often or are out for other reasons.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] & [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] are absolute perfection! I love [name_f]Mae[/name_f] with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Myra[/name_f] is also nice if you decide to use a family name.
First off I love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Isla[/name_f]! Absolutely beautiful! [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is beautiful as well! When I first saw the title to your post I thought of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] which isn’t too far off of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]! I don’t think you could go wrong either way!!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] the sibset! As you can see from my signature, I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but I know you said nothing ending in S.
Our 4.5 year old is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I love it, I like that you chose this spelling over [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], much more regal in my opinion:) I know it ends in an s sound though:( my other daughters are [name_f]Elaina[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u], and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] Joesephine. Also having surprise baby gender in [name_u]January[/name_u]!!
Thanks everyone for posting, and for the name ideas! I really appreciate the feedback. I think at the moment we will keep [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as a top contender for a girl and start work on boys names. Though I also really like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. Congratulations on your coming baby Koollayo and I love your girls’ names!
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is a beautiful name, my sister has the same name and it has always been an elegant and different name, she only came across one other girl with the same name so far. Her middle name is [name_f]Kate[/name_f], which is nice. We all call her [name_f]Viv[/name_f] now that she’s older but we used to call her [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] when she was younger.
