-vieve names, anyone?

I was looking at an old notes app and found a list of names I’d added the -vieve suffix to, as in [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. They all look horrible, but I like how they sound!

Here they are

Ettavieve
Islavieve
Elsavieve
Stellavieve
Winnavieve
Willavieve
Quillavieve
Quinnavieve
Bellavieve
Aylavieve
Lylavieve
Jessavieve
Rosavieve
Lulavieve

I played around with changing some of the spellings, trying viv, veav, vive and viev for the ‘veev’ sound. None of them look great IMO but here are some spellings I stuck with as the best of a few bad options:

Lulaviv
Rosaviv
Jessaviv
Lylaviv
Aylaviv
Bellaviv
Quinnavieve
Quillavieve
Willavieve
Winaviv
Stellavieve
Elsavieve
Ettavieve

Some questions, feel free to answer as many or few as you like:

  1. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you like any of these names?
  2. [name_m]Can[/name_m] you think of any more compound names that work with vieve?
  3. If you had to use some of your favourite names with one of these as a first or middle, what would they be? Use any spelling!
Some combos I made

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] Rosaviv
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] Elsavieve
[name_u]Betony[/name_u] Elsavieve
[name_f]Etka[/name_f] Lylaviv
[name_u]June[/name_u] Stellavieve
[name_f]Lilou[/name_f] Jessaviv
[name_f]Clemence[/name_f] Ettavieve

the vieve suffix is so pretty !! this is my favourite spelling in every case

in several of these, i’d change the spelling of the prefix name slightly. due example, elsavieve is pretty but elsevieve is gorgeous. same with rosevieve instead of rosavieve !! i’d be tempted to pronounce rosevieve like rose-vee-ev à la the french pronunciation of geneviève

  1. i really like elsavieve, stellavieve, rosavieve, and lulavieve !!

  2. i might make ennevieve, maravieve, coravieve, ellevieve, adavieve, floravieve, aurevieve, noravieve, claravieve, isavieve and nellevieve

  3. aurembiaix stellavieve, hero lulavieve, nolwenn elsevieve or hecate rosavieve <3

I like Elsavieve and Rosavieve! I would pair Elsavieve with [name_f]Roos[/name_f] or [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]: [name_f]Roos[/name_f] Elsavieve / Elsavieve [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]. I pronounce vieve as vee-vuh.

Some ideas:
Claravieve
Ellevieve
Marivieve

Starting with Vieve could also be tried:
Vievelynn
Vievenoor
Vieverose

Alivieve
Margovieve
Anyavieve
Mauvieve

  1. Kind of obsessed with Rosaviv! I’m also drawn to Quinnavieve but my brain kinda tries to autocorrect it to [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]. Quillavieve and Willavieve have great potential as extravagant middle names.

Merryvieve / Meriviv
Fennaviv
Terraviv / Terravieve
Nellavieve
Dellavieve
Cillavieve
Quennavieve
Sierravieve

[name_u]Alma[/name_u] Quillavieve
[name_f]Frida[/name_f] Willavieve
Rosaviv [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
Quinnavieve [name_f]Lempi[/name_f]

Rosavieve and Winnavieve are so lovely. I really like the clunkiness and wintry feel of them.

Ellevieve / Ellavieve is one I think could be pretty!?

As for combos, I think Winnavieve [name_f]Josepha[/name_f] or [name_f]Josepha[/name_f] Winnavieve (jo-SEE-fuh) would be really gorgeous!

  1. Elsavieve is my favourite of your creations. I also think Rosavieve, Lulavieve and Stellavieve have a nice sound. Like @rosepip I’d change the spelling in some cases by swapping the last ‘a’ for an ‘e’ or ‘i’ where it makes a more cohesive look.

  2. Some I haven’t seen mentioned:
    Remivieve
    Casivieve
    Altavieve
    Saravieve
    Josevieve
    Cleovieve

  3. [name_f]Anna[/name_f] Josevieve
    [name_f]Olympe[/name_f] Altavieve
    [name_f]Prue[/name_f] Rosevieve
    [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] Cleovieve
    [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Elsavieve

I agree! I didn’t even try this out as I was focussed on eliminating vowels at the end. Also, I didn’t know the French PN of Geneviève, so thank you!

@sammaegre I particularly like Lilivieve & Gwenavieve out of the ones you came up with :heart:

I appreciate learning this and I adore Vievenoor & Vieverose!

:ok_hand:t2: love this & Sappho’s input has me trying out Mauviève with your creations with I think sounds beautiful.

I’m glad you like it!

Yes! I think I prefer it.

In love with this one & also very much appreciating Leovieve, Cleovieve and Loraviv! Floravieve Mabel too :face_holding_back_tears:

@Ellevieve :heart: Is there no end to those gorgeous El- names?

Thank you, I agree this prefix vowel swap works really well. I’d swap my Jessavieve for Jessevieve or Jessivieve and I really like Josevieve!
