Is V the New Z?
Posted January 22nd, 2009
We’re noticing a lot of V’s — as in vivacious and vibrant — popping up in cool names these days. There’s Vivienne, of course, the name of Brad and Angelina‘s twin daughter, and also the name of Rosie O’Donnell‘s youngest child. Then there’s Olive, the name of Isla Fisher and Sasha Baron Cohen‘s daughter; Viggo, newborn son of Taylor and Natalie Hanson; River, the son of Keri Russell; and Ever, the name of model/designer Milla Jovovich’s baby.
Name hotties with Vs in the middle include Olivia, Nevaeh, Ava, and Eva. Other rising stars (and starbabies) include Savannah, Evan, Devon, Avery, Heaven, Haven, and Violet. Many names that start with V have been out so long they’re starting to come in again: Veronica, Virginia, Valentina, Victor, and Vincent, which definitely took on a new sexy glow thanks to Entourage’s leading man Vincent Chace and real life leading man Vince Vaughn. Like Z, X, and O before it, V seems to be the cool name letter of the moment.
Some other V-inclusive names you might want to consider:
CALVIN
And then of course there are several less obvious but still attractive names that start with V:
VALERIA
VIVIA

Aviva is quite lively as well. I love Lavinia too! Quite the stylish letter at the moment, I guess!

My number two girls name right now is Viola. Harvey is high on my list, too. I also love Clover, Olivia, Olive, Violet and Virginia. I hadn’t realised it, but I guess I love the V!

The probably dead TV show Lipstick Jungle used the name Victory for the fashion design character.

V is definitely the new black. There’s just something very stylish and sophisticated about the “V” sound. Vivian was on my list of names until Brangelina used it for their daughter.
