I would argue that [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is a more old lady name that [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].
I personally like old lady names, though.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is not an old lady name in a negative sense, it’s completely on trend. The combo [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is rather V heavy but still my favorite of your [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] combos. With sisters [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Savanna[/name_f] I feel like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is the most natural fit, but if you love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] you should use it.
Also, I just realized people are saying negative things after the child is born and being called a name. The problem isn’t the name [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], it’s them. You should use [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], and if they have anything negative to say you can chalk it up to them being incredibly rude.
I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] the best. It goes well with [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Savanna[/name_f], and the combo is just charming:)
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] is gorgeous.
My thoughts. Beautiful choices though, can’t go wrong.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Lena[/name_f] has the best flow in my opinion. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] share too many sounds, and the “enne” in [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is rather similar to the “An” in [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], they kind of run into each other.
Ignore whoever is saying negative things (tell them Angelina Jolie has a Vivienne!), if you love Vivienne use Vivienne otherwise I think you will regret it and always feel that she is a little Vivienne. I think Vivienne Ivy is really cute but Ivy Annabelle would also be a good fit with siblings. When I think of Vivienne I think of a little spunky fun clever girl I know who must be about 11 now, it’s not old lady at all!
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is my choice.
[name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] is an old lady name. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is timeless.
People suck… name your baby [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] because in your heart it seems like that’s how you already know her.
I voted for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]. I think it fits with [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Savanna[/name_f] a bit better than [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. You can’t really go wrong with either, though, as both are beautiful names! I also feel like the combination of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] flows very well.
If you are worried about [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], for that matter) being referred to as “old lady,” I wouldn’t because the names have become kind of trendy and I think it makes them seem more modern. I don’t know that many people outside of Nameberry would associate the name [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] with an old lady.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] or [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f].
I really like the repeated ‘v’ sound of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. It matches the repeated ‘e’ of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] and the repeated ‘s’ of [name_f]Savanna[/name_f] [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f].
Good luck!!
I adore [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Lena[/name_f]! It has the best flow hands down, and I love that [name_f]Lena[/name_f] is a family name <3 As for Vivienne – it is positively not an old lady’s name. In fact, I think it’s a stunning choice.
Absolutely love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]!! And you could still call her [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] as the sound is still there.
I also agree with the PP that both [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] are no longer ‘old fashioned’, they are most definitely back in fashion, though I’ve noticed that friends of mine who pay no attention to names don’t realise that older, classic names are in fact on the rise and becoming popular again. I’d say the people who are commenting don’t actually know much about what’s fashionable right now in names.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]! Gorgeous!
I thought the same thing! perfect subtle theme.
