Wow, ok.
I love Vida, Levi is alright, but Livingston? Poor child, not only is it not a very pretty name in my opinion, it doesn't fit the names of his elder siblings either. That, right there, is bad naming on a very high level.Zelia • Nineteen • Name-nerd from an early ageTrying hard to export old Danish names, Astrid Lindgren names, Greenlandic names and names from the Norse mythology.
If you have a moment to spare, I'd appreciate it if you would vote on my namelist & my (updated) list of guilty pleasure names!

actually I don't mind the name itself, I think a kid named Livingston would be cute. But Livingston and Levi are too similar for me, in fact Levi almost seems like it could be a nickname for Livingston....

Wow... You guys are harsh, haha! I agree it doesn't really work in the sibset, but the name itself isn't that bad and it fits with the trend of surname firstnames - Sawyer, Bennett, etc. I will say that Livingston McConaughey is a mouthful.

Actually I like it, though I don't think I'd have the guts to use Livingston myself unless perhaps it was a family surname (which it might be for this couple, who knows?) I agree it doesn't match his siblings' names well, especially when you see it next to Levi, but taken by itself I like it. It could sound scholarly (Dr. Livingstone, anyone?), and it fits the surname trend while being quite unusual. And a couple years back I thought the name Livingston/Livingstone (containing the words "living stone") could be a cool reference to 1 Peter 2. And hey, I also love Livingstone daisies.

Livingston is interesting (though I still think of "Dr. Livingston, I presume...") but it's soo similar to Levi. That's my only issue with it. If I say Levi and Livingston quickly they start to sound like the same name. Oh wel, congrats to them.

Levi & Vida blur together for me personally more so than Levi & Livingston do. Like some have said, I don't see Livingston as the best fit with the siblings' names, but they do all have the "vi" syllable & I find their love-of-life thing is endearing.
I bet the baby'll get a cute nickname, and me, I'd always take unusual Livingston over well-established Logan, Landon, etc.
