Miriam or Vivian?

The big name debate continues! [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is his suggestion (spelling is still up for debate as well), [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is mine. Which one do you prefer, and why? Big sister is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. Thank you so much for your help! :slight_smile:

I feel very neutral toward [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. I love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. I have both [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (I pronounce them slightly different) on my list. I slightly prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous and way underused. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is pretty but not as awesome and I strongly dislike [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], it’s horribly frilly.

Besides, [name_f]Mim[/name_f], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f], or [name_f]Miri[/name_f] are much cuter than [name_f]Viv[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivi[/name_f].

I prefer [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].

Oh, gosh, they’re both gorgeous. I slightly prefer [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], but you can’t go wrong.

I love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]/[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]! I like the [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] spelling a little better. I like [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] too, but just not as much for some reason. I think it’s because [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] seems more spunky while [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] has a very demure feeling for me. As far as that goes it just depends on what you like though. I think either one goes well with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

I much prefer [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] have a lot of the same letters…they are almost too similar for me to use in the same sibset

I love both, but I do prefer [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] slightly :slight_smile:

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is so pretty and I think it goes well with [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

if you spell it [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], it gets my vote! But if you spell it [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], I’m team [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] all the way! I really dislike the [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] spelling - it looks too trendy and too frilly for my liking.

I prefer [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] by far. I’ve never understood the love for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].

I adore [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], so that’s my pick. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is nice, but it feels very “in” these days, as it’s rising on the charts (along with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]), although that might just be from seeing it all the time on NB. I prefer the nickname options for [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] ([name_f]Mimi[/name_f], [name_f]Miri[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f]) over those for [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] ([name_f]Viv[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]).

I love [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and I adore nn [name_f]Miri[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] to [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], mostly based on how they sound.

I prefer [name_u]Vivien[/name_u].

[name_u]Vivien[/name_u] reminds me of [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] whereas [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] reminds me of my former aunt, a large earth mother.

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is light and sparkling whereas [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] sounds cavernous to me.

But both are fine names.

I prefer [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. But I dont think [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] go together very well

I am not a fan of [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], I don’t like the nicknames for it and I don’t like that sound of it. However, I LOOOOOVE [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], but spelled [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. But I think that’s mostly because I likke -enne, -enna names. Lol. Either way though, I think [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is a better choice. (:

I personally think that [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] sound too similar for sisters but that might be what you like about them. You would be creating an m theme so if you plan on having more kids that is something to conisder. So I’m voting for [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] as it leaves you much more options for the future.

[name_m]Both[/name_m] are great choices :slight_smile: I prefer [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] but feel that [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] would be a better sister name to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] sound beautiful to me
