Looking for a double girls' name!

With about 6 weeks to go, we still haven't decided on the name for our little girl-to-be. We'd like a double name and are thinking of Liv as a nickname. Since Liv is quite common, I'd prefer to pair it with a less common female name. But which one? Other suggestions are welcome, everything is still up for grabs. Tough and yet feminine are the key words. Thanks in advance for the inspiration!

    Should the name Liv be part of the name like Liva, Livia, or Olivia?
    Or a double name like: Liv Mila, Liv Novi, Liv Elin, Liv Julin, Liv Maël, Liv Riva, Liv Lina, Liv Linde, Liv Loïs, etc...

    That last one, so two names where Liv is one of them. It doesn't really matter that much whether Liv is the first or second name (our little boy also uses his second name as a nickname). Feel-wise, I find combinations with Liv as the second name sound a bit nicer and more natural. I've already thought of Riva Liv, Ziva Liv, Flore Liv. But I still don't feel anywhere that this will be her name. Suggestions are still welcome! Thanks anyway for your ideas so far.

    Thanks for the ideas. I don't feel like the perfect name combination is there yet, but maybe I need to read it over a few more times first.

    What other names do you like? That might be easier to think about.

    I think Xanthe is a great name and Xanthe Liv looks nice together, but I don’t want the initials XL. And Liv Xanthe... hmm... I don’t know.

    Thanks for your ideas. I don't feel yet that there's one clear name standing out, but that might also be because I'm having a hard time letting go of the name Xanthe. Although I'm becoming more and more convinced that Liv should be her nickname. Xanthe Liv would be the perfect name, if it weren't for the fact that I struggle with the initials XL. Pff... what a task it is to come up with a girl's name ????

    Thank you for thinking along. Unfortunately, the name isn't on the list yet.

    Thanks, but not quite our taste.

    Thanks for all the ideas. It doesn't quite give me an "eureka" moment yet, but I'm still keeping Mare Liv, Noé Liv, and Enya Liv in mind. I really wanted to name her Xanthe Liv, but I don't want the initials XL. And Liv Xanthe doesn't sound right the other way around.

  17. Anonymous Guest #18

    And what about a 3rd name, is that an option? E.g., Xanthe Riva Liv?

  18. Lot #19

    Xanthe Liv sounds really beautiful, I think! I understand your concern about XL as initials, but how often are initials actually used?
    Otherwise, I'm thinking of Ianthe/Janthe/Yanthe - Liv

    That's exactly the 'discussion' I'm having with my husband right now. My husband doesn't see XL as a problem right away, but for me, all sorts of doomsday scenarios pop up; what if she becomes overweight later on...or has a large cup size...and then her initials are XL...hmm...
    I've suggested an alternative: Ianthe Liv. It's nice to read that you're also thinking about it and that you think Xanthe/Ianthe Liv sounds nice too. I'm thinking/hoping we'll figure it out soon ???? Thanks for your reply!
