I voted for Camille, but it was close between Camille and Vivienne. I really like your list, but I have to weigh in on Dempsey. If this is a family name for you, then I understand you wanting to use it. However, the only thing I can think about when I see it is Jack Dempsey who was the heavy weight champ in the early 20th century (some say the greatest champ ever, but I disagree). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dempsey

This association just makes this name seem so masculine to me that I have a hard time seeing it on a girl. Now, I will admit that I am an avid boxing fan, but Jack Dempsey is not an obscure boxer, he is such and American icon that there was a commemorative postage stamp. He's right up there with Mohammed Ali as famous boxers go, so I think a lot of people (especially men) will make that association too.

Like I said, the other names on your list are so lovely and feminine, I think one of those would be much better for a girl.

thanks,
Meredith

I voted for Piper, but I also really like Aubrey, but not crazy for the Aubree spelling

Josie is way too much of just a nick-name - how about Josette as a full name

Dempsey - all I think of there is the old-time boxer Jack Dempsey - it doesn't sound the least bit like a girls name to me - not even unisex

I'm not a Camille fan and really not a Vivienne fan

good luck

I like Piper, Camille, and Vivienne equally well- I like those three a lot. And for as much as I LIKE those names, I really DISLIKE Dempsey. Aubree and Josie are okay, not my favorites... Josie to me is a nn, I'd use something else as the fn and then use Josie as a diminutive... But I don't know which to choose from Piper, Camille, or Vivienne! I like them all! :-)
