Re: Classy and elegant girl name??

  • If you are going with the middle name Anne, then I like Vivian Anne the best.  However, my favorite of the bunch is Gabrielle.

  • Not sure why, but I think Vivian is the most "elegant" of the bunch.

  • I love, love, love Vivian. I have a friend who just named her baby Vivian and I get jealous every time I say it (haha). Beautiful, classy, and well-known but not common.
  • Vivien - Pretty Woman. That's all I can think of. 

    Gabriella - love this one. Rarely hear it, and evokes such beautiful imagery.

    Samantha - eh. Froofy, and I despise "Sam" as a nn for a girl.

    Ava - overused. Definitely overused.

    While I love all of these names (other than Gabriella.  The "a" sound at the end feels superfluous), I don't think that any of them goes well with Anne as a middle name.  I don't think they flow well.  Vivian Anne sounds like you have a stutter.

  • I like both Gabriella and Vivian, and voted for Gabriella just because I feel Vivian is getting really popular. For years and years I'd planned to give my first future daughter Vivian as a mn to honor my maternal grandmother. When DD was born last year I did, but it kind of annoys me that it's getting so popular. I feel like instead of being recognized as a tribute to my grandmother, it can easily be confused with me just thinking the popular name is cool.

    But I do really like the name Vivian anyway.

    BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
    BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence

  • DD is Vivienne, I wanted a strong,yet feminine and classic name that would mature well. So my vote is for Vivian, second choice would be Gabriella.
  • Vivian reminds me of the prostitute in Pretty Woman. I'd steer clear of all versions of that name.

  • Vivian is my favorite and I also consider it the most "classy and elegant" of the bunch (although they are all very nice). That said, I don't like it paired with Anne since it ends in an. It sounds too repeatitive to me.
