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?

I vote for Raina - by far

Lauren is too common/popular - I can only picture old woman when I see the name Vivian in print. I realize they had to start out as babies, but that must've been a long time ago.

Raina is great.

good luck.

Raina Elizabeth gmv hands down. The other two combos both have great names, but I don't think they flow as well. What about Laurel Simone? I think that flows better than Lauren Simone. I still like Raina Elizabeth the best, though.

I love Raina esp. after hearing your explanation for choosing it. It's my first pick. I also like Vivian because it's different and definately spunky. Lauren is a very pretty name, but personally I like names that are more unusual. I know a ton of Laurens

Well, as you see my daughter is Lauren. My friends daughter's name is Rayna. Rayna seems to have special meaning in different ways to both of you.

I like all your choices, but Raina is one of my faves! Especially this spelling. Although we had a neighbor girl named Raena, which is cute too. Elizabeth is very pretty with it, but so so common. Why not Raina Simone? It sounds great to me!

For your other two choices, what about Lauryn and Viviana or Viviane to make them more unique?

good luck!

Someone above mentioned Lauren Elizabeth...I love that name!! It was my first choice for my little girl, then I got concerned about the popularity and changed it to Laura Anne. But, I think I agree with whoever said that if you really love it, who cares if it's #16. It is beautiful! Don't care much for Raina or Vivan...sorry.
