We are on our Third Baby (yikes) and having a precious baby girl. We are between Caroline and Vivienne? I love both names and am caught in a pickle:). Caroline is classic but Vivienne is fresh and has a great nickname Vivi. Our boy (4) is name Cole Brian and daughter (2) is name Payton Charlotte. Would LOVE any help\/suggestions!!!! Thanks SO much!!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both choices seem at odds to me with the style of your first two children’s names. Cole and Payton are both contemporary surname names; Vivienne and Caroline are both first names of long standing. Vivienne and Caroline are both currently exclusively feminine, while your first daughter’s name is unisex (in 2012, the name Payton was given to 2918 new baby girls and 587 new baby boys; the spelling Peyton was given to 4447 new baby girls and 2065 new baby boys). These aren’t the sorts of things that MATTER-matter, but it’s something to take into account if you’d like the sibling names to coordinate; your first two children’s names coordinate very well.<\/p>\n
Since Payton’s middle name Charlotte coordinates in style with Vivienne and Caroline, I’d be more inclined to put those on the list of middle-name contenders, and look for something else for the first name. Without a surname it’s difficult to suggest possibilities, but this is the sort of style I’d be looking at:<\/p>\n
Avery Caroline; Cole, Payton, and Avery
\nBailey Vivienne; Cole, Payton, and Bailey
\nBrooklyn Josephine; Cole, Payton, and Brooklyn
\nEllery Vivienne; Cole, Payton, and Ellery
\nHadley Caroline; Cole, Payton, and Hadley
\nKinley Margaret; Cole, Payton, and Kinley
\nMorgan Violet; Cole, Payton, and Morgan
\nRowan Abigail; Cole, Payton, and Rowan
\nRyleigh Vivienne; Cole, Payton, and Ryleigh
\nSydney Caroline; Cole, Payton, and Sydney
\nTaylor Vivienne; Cole, Payton, and Taylor<\/p>\nIf I were choosing between Caroline and Vivienne, I’d be more likely to choose Vivienne: its current usage feels recent, and more compatible in style with Payton and Cole; Payton and Vivi seem more like sisters to me than Payton and Caroline do. It also catches my attention that Cole and Caroline have a lot of letters in common.<\/p>\n
I might also suggest Vienne or Vienna instead of Vivienne: it seems less frilly, and you could still use the nickname Vivi. Cole, Payton, and Vienne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
