Hi, we're expecting our third baby soon.
We already have a Jesper and a Feline.

    So far, Veerle and Vivian are at the top of our list. Which do you think fits best with Jesper and Feline?

    No doubt about it, Veerle! I think it's really beautiful!

    I think Jesper and Feline are a bit cooler than Veerle.
    So I think Vivian fits better.

    I think Vivian fits better.

    Veerle

    I think both are lovely names that fit well together! I’d probably go with Vivian myself.

    Thanks for the comments so far! It looks like we can’t really go wrong with any of them. Are there any more people who have an opinion on this?

    I'd go for Veerle, I think it's a really beautiful name.

    I don't think Vivian is that pretty; it feels so old-fashioned compared to Jesper and Feline. So I'd go for Veerle.

    Veerle! Lovely name!

    Both work.
    I think Vivian fits best with Jesper and Feline. Veerle feels a bit more "ordinary" compared to the other two names.

    I think Veerle is a sweeter name, but both are good! You've got lovely names for your kids

    Thanks for the comments so far, we're leaning a bit more towards Veerle now.
    The only hesitation I have is that I think the pronunciation might sound too much like Feline, we'd say it roughly as Fu-lie-neh, and Veerle would be pronounced as Veer-leh. My husband thinks the 'r' sound in Veerle makes it distinct enough, but I'm still a bit unsure.
    Do you think the pronunciation is too similar, or would you not have a problem with that?

    I don't think the pronunciation is that similar, though. I wouldn't have a problem with it. I think Veerle is a really nice name!! Vivian, on the other hand, feels a bit old-fashioned compared to the other names.

    I don't think they look too much alike either.
