[Opinions] Lavinia
This is an old name I found buried in my family tree. It's the only interesting my family's managed to come up with over the generations (this and Séraphine). I'd be interested in using it in some way I think, if my DH is open to it.What are your opinions of this name? Possible nicknames? I've thought of Liv or Livvy...any others? Also it's a name with such...presence...that I'm totally stuck as to what middle names could be used with it. Or would it be better as a quirky middle name surprise??

I've always loved this name. Liv and Livvy (Livie) are good nicknames. Vin and Vinny would work as well.

It's a very pretty name, but I can't get passed Titus Andronicus.

Oh, Lavinia Daisy is simply darling...and bonus, I love the name Daisy too!I think the trick is to pair it with a very light, sweet name, to balance out the strength of Lavinia. You think?
