Baby Names

Opinions on these girls' names please!

DH and I have gone through hundreds of names and have finally narrowed it down to four. Of course, it's not a pressing matter, but I would prefer to have it nailed down before we find out.

Vivienne
Cordelia
Eleanor
Caroline 

Re: Opinions on these girls' names please!

  • Caroline is one of my all time favorite names!  I also like Vivienne and Eleanor.  Not a fan of Cordelia, but not sure why.  Probably the same reason I'm not a fan of Amelia or Cecelia...or any of the -lia names.

  • I LOVE Vivienne.

  • I like them in this order-

    Vivienne- I love this name!

    Eleanor- I think it's very pretty and I don't hear it very often.

    Cordelia- I like it. It's uncommon without being weird. I think it's a mouthful and it would depend on which nn you use for her. I don't like Dee.

    Caroline- NMS, but not a bad name.

  • Vivienne is gorgeous!
  • Love Cordelia and I love the nns Cordy and Delia. I know a Delia and she is great!

    Your other names are great too

  • I think Caroline or Eleanor go the best with Avery. When I say them with Avery they seem to compliment each other. Great choices !

  • I love Caroline and Eleanor, Vivienne is pretty, but a mouthful for kids to say & spell IMO. Cordelia is nice, but NMS.
  • Vivienne is nms, but I like the other three. I can't see your siggy on my phone; is Avery your other DD? If so, I like Caroline or Eleanor with it. Cordelia is very old fashioned and extremely feminine to me, so I'm not sure I like it paired with Avery. They are just totally different styles.
    If Avery is your DS ignore what I said about Cordelia!

  • I love them all. If my husband had his way Cordelia would be the name of our next daughter...should we have one. So I will give that one my vote.

  • Vivienne - LOVE,  I am more used to the Vivian spelling, not use which is original so don't flame me!

    Cordelia - its just Okay for me, it's such a unique name I can't break the association from Buffy, but very feminine. 
    Eleanor - love! Cannot get my DH on board with that one. 
    Caroline - just okay.

    Vivienne - beautiful, but I don't like how pretentious it sounds (unless you speak French)
    Cordelia - LOVE! Less common than the others, but still really feminine and classic
    Eleanor - love as well.
    Caroline - love again, but its more common than the others

    YOU HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL CHOICES ON HERE! I love them!

  • If you use the NN Delia, then Cordelia is definitely my favorite. But if you don't plan on using Delia, then Caroline is my favorite.

  • They are all beautiful.

    Caroline is becoming a bit worn out for me, so it's my least favorite of the bunch.

    I also prefer Vivian to Vivienne.

    But really, you can't go wrong.

  • I am really loving Vivian lately, but spelled this way. It looks simpler.

    Vivienne
    Cordelia
    Eleanor
    Caroline 

    I like all of them. DD is Elinor, so Eleanor is the obvious vote for me.

    Caroline was always a favorite of mine, though.

  • I like Caroline.  
  • They're all nice names, but my favorite of the list is Vivian (spelled this way). The French spelling is so unnecessarily frilly, IMO.

  • I like Vivienne and Cordelia. Vivienne is one of the "Brangelina" names, if that matters. I'd go with Cordelia, or use both and go Cordelia Vivienne. (Vivi is a great nn for Vivienne.)

  • We are naming our DD Caroline so I vote for that! It's popular on here, but not IRL (unless you are in the South). It's not even in the top 100 in most states.

    Vivienne Spelled Vivian, I LOVE it.
    Cordelia I don't really like it.  Not sure why
    Eleanor I don't usually use this excuse, but it sounds old lady to me. 
    Caroline I think it is a very nice name.
