I saw a sib set of toddlers today Ellen and Vieve (pronounced VEE-ev)
I thought it was pretty cool actually.

I also saw a man in his late 70s named Orphelian.

Orphelian is quite unusual. I wonder if is parents were inspired by Orpheus. It reminds me so much of orphan, though, that it sounds a little forlorn.

I'm starting to love Ellen so much! Vieve is kinda cute, but it sounds very nicknamey to my ear. I'd prefer it as a nickname for Genevieve or a Vi+ Ev+ combo like Vianne Eva.

OHH I love the Vi+Ev idea!! Vivian Evangeline!!!
I was thinking that Vieve might may a good middle name actually.

Orphelian does sound forlorn doesn't he?

How cute are Ellen and Vieve! I have to say I like those names together.

Cute.

I like Ellen and Vieve is really pretty.

Orphelian is handsome but seems like an adjective.

I agree about Orphelian It seems like a brand of 1000 thread count sheets or something.

Do you know if Vieve was short for Genevieve? It sounds kind of incomplete otherwise, but it's still a cool sibset!

I asked the mom and she said that it wasn't short for anything, it's just Vieve.

I'm curious about this, too. I'm finding Ellen so refreshing lately!

I'm definitely crushing on it too. I think I may work it into some of my combos!

Those names are really pretty for sisters. Vieve is interesting. It seems like a short version of Genevieve, which normally I'd prefer to stay as a nn, but it feels kind of fresh that way. It's like a tiny little violet. I've been liking Ellen more lately, too.

Orphelian is neat.

I said the same thing and mom said, "No, just Vieve" and gave me a look daring me to insult her! It was gerat! hahaha!
