For the last time!

I promise, this will be the last time I ask this of you. Last night my mother asked what names we were thinking of, which I've been good about NOT sharing names w/ them up till now. But, since she asked, and I'm due on the 19th, I told her. Of course, she gives her opinion, and says she has a negative association of one of the names, which now puts me in a weird position. She told me that they'd (my mom and dad) would get used to it, no matter what we named the baby, BUT still I don't know that I want to knowingly name the baby a name that she's said that about. So, I'm asking you one last time, which name do you think we should choose? Or is there another "Great" name out there for us???

Lydia (Owen and Wyatt are DS's names)
Evie
Vivian

TIA

I think they're completely over-analyzing. Vivian is wonderful. I do prefer it spelled Vivienne though (but I have a daughter named Adrienne so I obviously like the -enne ending).

My vote would definitely go to Vivian! ;) Besides the number of letters connection already mentioned, I also think it's kind of neat that Owen and Wyatt have prominent Ws, while Vivian has two Vs (vv=w ... get it?). I also like this choice for you because, while I don't like Evie as a given name (love it as a nn, though), you could use the very-similar nn Vivi for Vivian, so it's almost like you're getting two of your top three here! ;)

Lydia is just nms. I know others love it, and there's no reason I shouldn't like it. I actually can't put my finger on why, but it's nms. LOL

Wyatt's mn is Martin- b/c we gave each of our sons our mother's maiden names as middle names. So, it's Owen Reed, and Wyatt Martin

What a cute idea to use your mother's maiden names! I hope your boys appreciate the family connection!

Lydia is my favorite. I'd use it on our next girl but my youngest sister has already claimed it for her girl....if/whenever they have one. And it goes great with your boys names.
