Vivian

Does everyone think “[name]Brad[/name] [name]Pitt[/name] - [name]Angelina[/name] [name]Jolie[/name]” when they hear this baby name?

(They named a daughter [name]Vivienne[/name]…I may be spelling that incorrectly).

I love the name and had no idea about the [name]Brad[/name]-[name]Angelina[/name] connection until I started researching it. And of course now I am hesitant to keep it on the list…

i don’t! it’s on our list…[name]LOVE[/name] it!!!

I had a friend named [name]Vivian[/name] growing up so Brangelina is definitely not my first thought. I think if you were picking a more obscure name they had used, such as [name]Shiloh[/name], yes they would be my first thought. But I think [name]Vivian[/name] is less associated with them. It’s a beautiful name. I hope you use it.
Good luck!

Thanks, good to know!

It’s on my list too. I prefer your/our spelling “[name]Vivian[/name]”. I love [name]Viv[/name] as a nn and it’s a good strong name - if you didn’t know the celeb connotation will your friends and family and those who really matter know it?

I agree that [name]Vivian[/name] is too widely known to every be hijacked by a celeb. Great name!

Any ideas for middle names?

I’m looking for 1 or 2 syllables.

[name]Do[/name] not like [name]June[/name], [name]Lynn[/name], [name]Wren[/name] or anything else ending with an “en” sound.

Single-syllable middle names for [name]Vivian[/name]:

[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Bette[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Vivian[/name] [name]Rose[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] that helps. :slight_smile:
