One of my dream names is the Russian Vasilissa, Lissa for short. I think it’s regal but still approachable and modern. Too bad I don’t think I’m adventurous enough to actually use it

I adore the letter V.

Veda Genevieve is the name I will call my daughter! *Swoon*

I also love Vivienne, Violet, Vera, Eva, Evelyn, Evangeline.

I love Virgil and have for years. I’ve also loved Vivian since I was a kid and saw Pretty Woman. Violet I like but it’s so trendy. Virginia is wonderful. Veronica is too, but I can’t stand nn Ronnie.

I, too, love Villanelle, like Ottilie suggested. I like it b/c of the sonnet form. Vesper is probably my favorite V name.

I adore the letter V. It’s lively: vital, vigorous, vibrant, verdant. I also like names that contain the letter v: Eve, Avalon, Liv, Severine, Evangeline, Everett, Lev… It’s an awesome letter. I’m glad you did a post on it.

I like Vera, Violet, Valeria, Vienna.

For boys, I can’t stand Vaughn or Virgil, so ugly sounding. Victor and Vincent also need to go away for a while and then comeback a few decades later. I think Vasco is the only one I like

I’m in love with Vera – I just can’t decide if my preferred pronunciation (Vair-uh) would cause future headaches.

Vivienne for a girl and Vincent for a boy.

My favourite V name is Villanelle (she’s the female protagonist in Jeanette Winterson’s novel The Passion). Of the ones you mentioned, Vanessa and Vivien. Gorgeous.

I’m not that surprised that some V names are rising in popularity – the sound is already there in three of the most popular girls’ names in the US: Ava, Avery and Olivia. Genevieve and Evangeline seem to be discussed a lot on naming forums as well. We strongly considered Vivian for our daughter – I love the nickname Vivi – but I just felt like I was seeing it everywhere and got bored with it before she arrived. I can see it hitting the top 20 in a few years.

Vrai is a really awful “name”; Verity is much more palatable if you’re going for meaning and like Vs.
