Names like Vivienne?

General Name Discussion
1

I’m considering [name]Vivienne[/name] as a middle, and would like to carry on a trend in my future sibset, like mns [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Adrienne[/name] for example. Can anyone suggest any similar names to [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Adrienne[/name] ([name]Julienne[/name]?)
I will probably use 2 mn like [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] or [name]Adrienne[/name]-[name]Therese[/name]. I like mns names that do not begin or end in “a” to balance out fns that do end with “a”, eg) [name]Sabina[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Therese[/name] (Sooo I like [name]Adrienne[/name] but wouldn’t use it since it starts with “a”).

Thanks :slight_smile:
Specifically hoping to find mn combo for [name]Calandra[/name] ____- [name]Claire[/name]

[name]Hi[/name], [name]Jacquelyn[/name] (did I get that right?)!

Have you decided on [name]Calandra[/name] over [name]Calliope[/name] (Sorry! I haven’t really checked out your more recent posts!)?

Oc”ane (o-shay-ahn)
[name]Aveline[/name] (I think that the “line” is pronounced as leen)
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Jacquelyn[/name]/[name]Jacqueline[/name] (Since [name]Calandra[/name] sort of honors your husband, her middle could honor you!)

I don’t have anymore suggestions, but I’ll comment on the previous ones…

[name]Calandra[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] is lovely, and [name]Lucienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] (“light”+“clear”, both French) are perfect together visually, stylistically, sound-wise, in terms of meaning, and with [name]Calandra[/name]!

[name]Calandra[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] is great, too! The whole name means “lark who is alive and clear”, I guess, so that’s pretty cool.

[name]Calandra[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] is nice, especially if you want something more “normal” with [name]Calandra[/name]. “[name]Lark[/name] in a clear, high tower” or “clear lark in a high tower” would be it’s meaning (“lark flying near a clear, high tower” might make some more sense).

If you use Oc”ane, [name]Aveline[/name], [name]Adeline[/name], or [name]Jacquelyn[/name]/[name]Jacqueline[/name], [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Claire[/name]-Oc”ane/[name]Aveline[/name]/[name]Adeline[/name]/[name]Jacquelyn[/name]/[name]Jacqueline[/name] might be better…

I don’t know if the meaning makes a difference or not, but that’s what I look for when I really can’t decide!

Good luck! :smiley:

Oh, I also wanted to suggest [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Viviette[/name]-[name]Claire[/name]. [name]Viviette[/name] is a [name]Vivian[/name] variation and was used in [name]Thomas[/name] [name]Hardy[/name]'s Two on a [name]Tower[/name]. It’s a bit “out there”, but [name]Calandra[/name] is similar to the normal-ish [name]Cassandra[/name] and [name]Claire[/name]'s in the Top 1000, so I don’t think it’s too much…

There’s also [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Vianne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] ([name]Vianne[/name] is another [name]Vivian[/name] variation), but I think that [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Viviette[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] and [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] flow better (if you’re pronouncing the names like I am, [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Vianne[/name] is kind of sing-songy).

:smiley:

I have met quite a few French Canadian women named Andreanne, which isn’t a perfect match but it sounds quite lovely when it’s said aloud.

Thanks “[name]Cecily[/name]” :slight_smile:

My first ever pick before I even got preggo was [name]Sabina[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Therese[/name], I do like [name]Calliope[/name] dearly, but don’t know if I’m comfortable with it so [name]Calandra[/name] is a great alt that was much easier to work with-- I immediately wanted [name]Calandra[/name] (something like [name]Vivienne[/name]) [name]Claire[/name] so that it would “match” and I’d have pretty names for sisters.

Once I got suggestions and found [name]Lucienne[/name] I was so happy! I could even switch to [name]Sabina[/name] [name]Lucienne[/name]-[name]Therese[/name] and [name]Calandra[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]-[name]Claire[/name] so I don’t have all those "L"s together in one name, but I’m really liking it despite lots of "L"s.

I love the meanings all together, very pleasant and classy! That’s one thing, few names strike me as pleasantly as this combo does.

I’ll have to STOP looking now or I will change back to [name]Calliope[/name]!!! Lol. [name]Baby[/name] is kicking so I’ll ask her what she thinks!
