Thank you Nameberries for help with baby girl...

Our lovely Vivienne Grey was born on January 6th, 2012 (sorry it took so long... I temporarily was distracted from naming obsessions!). The name Vivienne won out over Violet, our other top choice, after she was born. She had trouble breathing and was on a ventilator for a few days. She is doing wonderfully now, but she was kind of a purple shade when she was born, so Violet became kind of weirdly innaproprate. We were considering Penelope, Hazel, Ruby, Fiona and Daphne as well, but Vivienne means "full of life" and it seemed a perfect name to carry her through her time in the NICU and into good health. As everyone says, we couldn't picture her with any other name now! Thank you to everyone who voted on her name and provided helpful feedback & inspiration. We love you Nameberries! <3

Swoon. Beautiful name, just gorgeous. Where does the Grey come from?

[makeupbyjanine]

Honestly, we wanted a one syllable middle name (our last is also 3 syllables) and made a search list of all one syllable names we thought sounded nice with Vivienne. Grey just really stood out. We like the color association because my husband & I both love art & were married in an art museum. He also liked more unisex or word names, like Drew & Paige, so Grey balanced out the frilliness of Vivienne.

Thank you all for the kind wishes!

Congratulations! What a beautiful name. Are you pronouncing Vivienne with the accent on the first or the last syllable? It's very pretty either way.
