Sebastienne, [name_f]Julienne[/name_f], Marienne, [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], and I do adore [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]!

I voted [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] but by far my favorite is [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f].

I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]. I also really like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]! Though I prefer the nickname [name_f]Lux[/name_f] over [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I like Arienne the best (prn. like R-E-N). It’s obviously really close to [name_m]Aryan[/name_m], and I’m more drawn to [name_f]Arianne[/name_f], personally, so I’d probably never use it, but I do like it a lot! My other favorites would be Brienne (bree-EHN) and [name_f]Julienne[/name_f], but from yours I like [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]–I like the nns [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f].

Out of those, I chose [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f], although, my absolute favorite “enne” names are:
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is not enne, I realize this, but the small change in pronunciation makes it more appealing to me than [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]!

Loving the feedback–so helpful, thank you. I too adore the nicknames [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] and [name_f]Lux[/name_f]!

My favorite is [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but I do like [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f].

I voted [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]!

Before I vote, are you pronouncing the first syllable of Evienne with an “ee” (like [name_f]Eve[/name_f]) or an “eh” (like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u])? Beautiful names!

I voted for [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f].

I am surprised by the popularity of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. (Actually, not really, now that I think of the whole [name_m]Pitt[/name_m]/[name_f]Jolie[/name_f] connection.) I find [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] very dated. I have a friend with this name (she’s 45) and she hates it because she thinks the nickname [name_f]Viv[/name_f] is so harsh sounding. I agree with her!

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is my favourite, but [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] nn. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] is nice too :slight_smile: I also love [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] & Mylene/Mylaine (though I suppose you could spell it Mylenne? Milenne? No idea)

I like [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and voted for it, but I also would nominate another: [name_f]Felicienne[/name_f].

I voted for [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (beautiful name) and I would recommend: [name_f]Fabienne[/name_f].

@emmyent: like the eh in [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]–I should have clarified, thank you for asking.

I do find [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] a bit harsh, so I understand what you are saying @jeska. The -ienne ending soften its so much and I think the nickname [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]/[name_f]Vivie[/name_f] is just adorable.

so many new ones I have not heard of!

I dislike them all, personally… -enne names aren’t my thing. I don’t know why because I like -ette and -elle and -inne names.
I voted [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] because I like [name_f]Vivi[/name_f].

As a [name_f]Liv[/name_f] myself, Livienne just seems silly. The rest are okay, but not my style.

I heard [name_f]Octavienne[/name_f] recently, which I sort of like. [name_f]Georgienne[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. As well as [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] if that counts.

I much prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and I love the nickname [name_f]Vivie[/name_f]. A gorgeous name with a very sweet nickname.
