Viva VS Celia ?!?!?

The hubs and I are STILL doing damage control to out list of possible girls names … Help!
I like both [name]Vivia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name] – our last name is [name]Gordon[/name]. [name]Do[/name] these first names sound/flow well with our last name, in your opinion? Also, throwing some of our favorite middle name combos around… Thoughts!!!

[ We want unique but grounded - cool, but classy! Something girly, too! ]

[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Dace[/name] Gorodn
[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Brynne[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Braelyn[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]

[name]Celia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Dace[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Brynne[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Everly[/name] [name]Gordon[/name]

I’m still not even sure about these first names… Gosh, I’m so indecisive! LOL

I think [name]Vivia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name] both work really well with your last name-- they are both a little unusual, but still recognizable and pretty sounding-- definitely classy and cool. For the mns, I’m really not a fan of [name]Dace[/name] (it sounds like a skater name to me) and the “n” sound on [name]Braelyn[/name] & [name]Brynne[/name] doesn’t flow the best to me with your last name (although I like both names). So my favorite from your list is [name]Celia[/name] [name]Everly[/name] followed by either [name]Celia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] or [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name].

Another name that I like better than [name]Vivia[/name] is [name]Viveca[/name] so I’ll pass that along for your consideration. You might also like [name]Cecily[/name] instead of [name]Celia[/name].

Here are some other possible middles for [name]Vivia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name]:

[name]Faye[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Eve[/name] (although only with [name]Celia[/name]-- too many Vs otherwise!)
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Claire[/name]
[name]Nell[/name]
[name]Truth[/name]
[name]Felice[/name] (only for [name]Vivia[/name])
[name]Louise[/name]
[name]Lou[/name]
[name]Brooke[/name]
[name]Betty[/name]
[name]Edith[/name]

[name]Both[/name] names are lovely but I think [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is just gorgeous. I’d love to see [name]Vivia[/name] used!

[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is beautiful! [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Dace[/name] is fun too, I remember from another thread you really liked the sound of [name]Dace[/name] and I think it’s totally useable in this combo.

I love [name]Celia[/name], though [name]Vivia[/name] is really pretty too. [name]Celia[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] sounds like a heroine from a [name]George[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] novel, it’s so classy. My favorite middle name from the ones you’ve listed is Everyly, followed by [name]Harlow[/name]. I think that [name]Celia[/name] and [name]Vivia[/name] could deffinetly be sisters.

  • [name]Athena[/name]

I really like [name]Celia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. My second choice would be [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. I choose [name]Celia[/name] over [name]Vivia[/name] because I think [name]Vivia[/name] would get misspelled a lot.

[name]Vivia[/name] [name]Dace[/name] is great - especially with your last name.

I like [name]Grace[/name] for both [name]Vivia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name]. [name]Vivia[/name] is very unique to me but I think it is beautiful. [name]Celia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is my favorite.

I know someone who uses [name]Viva[/name] as a nn. for [name]Genevieve[/name]. I like that. I agree with megmarie that I prefer [name]Grace[/name] as the mn. choice for both [name]Vivia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name].

[name]Celia[/name] [name]Harlow[/name]

The title says [name]Viva[/name] not [name]Vivia[/name] & I love [name]Viva[/name], but I’m figuring it was a typo. [name]Viva[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] would be go gorgeous & glam!

I love [name]Vivia[/name]! I’m obsessed with V names right now, trying to get DH onboard. My current faves are Vallah, [name]Vara[/name], and [name]Viva[/name]. I Could probably talk him into [name]Genevieve[/name] nn [name]Viva[/name], or [name]Vera[/name]… but i’m kind of holding on the hope that he’ll suddenly fall in love with Vallah… :slight_smile: lol

I like [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Brynne[/name] the best from your list. The pp suggestion of [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Blyth[/name] has a great sound… and I REALLY like [name]Vivia[/name] [name]Bliss[/name] too. :slight_smile:

I think both options are just great! I honestly cannot choose because I like both options very much:)
