MN for Vivienne

Girl Names
1

We are thinking of naming our daughter [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], to brother [name_m]Beckett[/name_m] [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]. Needing help with a MN, not wanting a name that competes with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

Possible names we are thinking about:

  • [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] (in memory of my Aunt)
  • [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] (Grandmother’s MN)
  • [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u]
  • [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[name_m]How[/name_m] are you pronouncing [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]? Like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] or more of the [name_m]French[/name_m] sounding [name_f]Viv[/name_f]-ee-en/[name_f]Viv[/name_f]-yen?

I like the sound of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u], but the first thing I think of is the actress [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] and I imagine a lot of people will. I prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] over [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] sound-wise, but since they’re both honor names, I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

I think it’s hard to complete with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] unless you have another long name like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]. Perhaps…

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] (I know…so popular, but it does sound very pretty with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f])
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Alexis[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] (similar feel to [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], but without the repeating N sounds)
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Adelie[/name_f]/[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] (could be seen as competing with [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but I personally think it makes [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] sound even richer)

I would personally use a name that honors someone, so my vote is [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] or [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

I agree with this. Maybe [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] or [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] so you could honor your aunt and grandma. Or [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Merrily[/name_f]/Marilly?

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] is my favorite, but of course brings to mind the actress. Since it’s a family name and a legitimate coincidence, I don’t see a problem.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] is pretty too. And [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] is cute, as long as the last name doesn’t also end in n.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is a bit of a mouthful for me, so my last pick. Good luck!

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]; it’s very beautiful and feminine!
