Raina Elizabeth
Vivian Simone
Lauren Simone

Raina - this is the Polish spelling (DH is part Polish ancestry) and my dad's name was Ray (passed away Memorial Day). I also like it bc it's regal and different!

Vivian - I think this one has spunk and sparkles. I can see it on a cute little redhead. It also sounds the best with our last name (imo).

Lauren - has same meaning as my name, and always a favorite of mine. The only problem? #16 in popularity, not sure I want to go there. Still, it is lovely and it is a classic!

With all those things in mind, which do you vote for?

It's close between Lauren & Raina. I think I'm voting for Raina. Ordinarily I'm not sure I'd care for it but after reading your explanation of your choice & after repeating it a few times I think I like it!

I vote for Raina, but Vivian is a close second. Lauren is very popular in my area. I know a bunch from age 30 to 3. It's pretty though.

I'm the same ... the popularity of Lauren just kills me. I only know one and she's 8, but still ... And I only know one Reyna and she's 28, at least.

I like Vivian Simone the best. I agree with you that it sparkles. Also, it is conventional but not too popular. I have also seen it spelled Vivien, and like that as well.
Best,
Melissa

Lauren is a gorgeous name! Who cares if it's #16. If you love it, choose it! I'd only worry if it was in the top 5.

I love Raina, with Vivian a close second. Lauren is also a pretty name, but it can't compare to the other 2!

Good choices!

I love Vivian! Such a lovely name and not overused. Vivian definitely gets my vote!

Because of family connections, I choose Raina.


Oblivious to family connections, I choose Vivian :)


Lauren is nice, but....I don't think it's for you :)

I love Raina, but not with Elizabeth (don't like the back-to-back vowels). I'm sorry, but I don't like Vivian at all. I LOVE Lauren Elizabeth- its gorgeous! It definetly gets my vote.

I like Vivian the best first off, but I love names with history/meaning, so Raina would be my choice.
