I only have a little time left to decide... I'm already at 32 weeks... but we just can't decide between Kiki or Livia. What do you think?

    Livia... Sounds a bit softer...
    Very beautiful!

    I'd go with Livia.
    Kiki might sound a bit odd for a 20-year-old.
    I think Olivia is even prettier.

    Thanks for all the replies! Livia is popular here!

    Still hesitating a little bit though. With Kiki, I really picture such a feisty little girl..and since my oldest (2.5 year old boy) is also quite feisty..a Kiki would fit well with that.

    I also think Livia is more elegant and prettier for an adult indeed.

    I do think the pronunciation Lìvia is nicer than Lievieaa...and then we can shorten it to Liv.

    Livia is actually a very old Latin name...in ancient Rome, the wife of Emperor Augustus was also called that. It's not an abbreviation of the English Olivia (meaning olive branch)...I personally find that name less beautiful...I'm also a bit afraid that people will call her Olivia and refer to that pink pig from TV....

    Funny... I immediately associate Olivia with Olivia Newton-John :-)

    I'd find that less bad

    Absolutely Livia! I don't think Kiki is a name... More like an abbreviation or something as a nickname.

    Livia my daughter's name is Livia too with an i, not Livia ..... A lot of people say that, but once they correct it, they remember it!!!!

    I'd go for Livia! Nice name!

  15. Anonymous Guest #16

    I personally find Liv nicer.. But I think Kiki is nicer than Livia (but then Livian, indeed, and not Lievia, in terms of pronunciation)

    I think Livia is really beautiful! Liv comes across to me as if it's an abbreviation, which I find less appealing!

  17. syl Guest #18

    Livia !!

  18. ii Guest #19

    Livia!

    I also immediately thought of the wife of Emperor Augustus ;-)

    I always thought it was Livia. Learned something new, that name never comes up here. I do think it's prettier than Kiki, and I love the abbreviation Liv, so I'd say go for it!
