I would rather see Vivien Lorelei, nickname Vivi. I've had it with Lorelei...I'm just burned out on it. And I prefer Vivien over Vivian because of Vivien Leigh (can't help it...I'm from the South). But that's just me.

My husband is in love with Lorelei and I am only luke warm with it. Vivian is my great grandmothers name and though he does not care for it I get sole choice on the middle names to use my family names for.

Well, obviously, I'm right there with you on Lorelei. But I just love Vivian, especially since it has the family connection for you. And it's SO much less popular than Lorelei. To bad your hubby doesn't like it... :-(

Yeah well maybe if I just start calling her Vivi it will stick anyway!

There you go! I sort of think that the mom has a bit more veto power with naming, anyway, especially when it's a girl. I know you have to take his opinion into consideration and all, but really, you're carrying it, and having once been a little girl yourself, you are the best judge of which name you'd rather have grown up with! Good luck! Let us know how things progress... :-)
