Middle names for Vivian that sound beautiful and flow well.
Choosing a middle name for your baby girl is one of those things that sound so simple but can turn out to be surprisingly complicated.
It’s not as if you have the luxury of choosing from practically unlimited options like you do with first names, and it’s not as easy as just picking a cute name that you like or one that looks pretty on paper. A middle name has to work well with both her first and last names, flow nicely when spoken aloud, and even reflect a little of the personality you want her to have (pretty amazing, right?)
And all this without accidentally wandering into the minefield of family expectations (if you’re choosing to honor a family member… or even if you’re not!)
How does anyone ever manage to choose?

Where to Find More Middle Name Inspiration
The sky is the limit when it comes to finding excellent baby name ideas. There’s no end to the places you may go for exciting new name ideas.
Here are just a few to get you started!
(1) Take advantage of popular culture names – celebrities, musicians, TV show characters, movies, novels – name your kid whatever you like! There’s no need to be apologetic about naming your child after a star.
(2) Check out what’s on the top 10 lists of baby names this year. If you want to get a sense of what’s hot in baby names right now, go over top baby name lists. You’ll know which ones you like (or should avoid – too popular!) Alternatively, look through past years’ or decade-end listings to find underappreciated gems.
(3) Some cultures believe words with repeating sounds bring good fortune, so why not look for alliterative initials and names. I like to call them ‘superhero’ names – where the first name and last name both start with the same letter.
(4) Your family tree – one of the most distinctive methods to choose a middle name for your daughter is to look at family names. Examine the maiden names of your female relatives; it’s a great way to remember your lineage.
What if You Use Vivian as the Middle Name?
If you just can’t find the perfect combination for your little one, don’t go back to the drawing board! You can use the first name you love as a middle name instead. (Don’t worry, you can still call her that name if you prefer – nothing wrong with using a middle name!)
Here are some beautiful names that work well with the first name Vivian:
- Brielle Vivian
- Clara Vivian
- Raelyn Vivian
- Melanie Vivian
- Maria Vivian
- Jade Vivian
- Eva Vivian
- Melody Vivian

How to Choose a Middle Name
If you’re completely stumped with choosing a middle name for your baby, here’s where to start.
Take out a pen and some paper and write down your favorite names when they come to mind. You don’t have to do it all in one session. Just have it there and write name ideas throughout the week.
The only way to be confident you’ve picked the right name is to test all the options you’re considering – say it out loud, write down your little one’s full name and compare it to your other options.
Here’s what we think you should look for before you make a final decision:
- how does the first name, middle and last name flow together? Does it sound beautiful or is there something odd or awkward about it?
- does the name length sound good together? Often a longer first name will sound best with a short middle name (and it’s a good idea to consider the amount of space on government name forms too!)
- does the name initials spell a word or common acronym? It’s best to avoid this if possible to avoid teasing later in school.
- do you like the meaning of the names?
- have you Googled the full name to make sure you’re happy with what pops up?
Where to Find Inspiration for Middle Name Ideas
There’s no end of places you can look to find cool middle name ideas. Here are just a few that we like:
- Pop culture – a middle name is the perfect spot to share your love of pop culture icons – celebrities, musicians, TV or novel characters – any of these names are up for grabs!
- Celebrity names – while many celebrities have boring middle names (or first names) like ordinary people do, some of them have highly creative and unusual names. And if they don’t, then their children do! Take inspiration from your favorite celeb and give your little one an unforgettable middle name.
- Your family tree – look back on your family tree for names that have significance in your family. You can honor your lineage with a first name, or even choose a surname or maiden name from your maternal line. Don’t feel you need to stick to feminine given names either – gender neutral or even masculine names are just fine!
- Read through blog posts like this or take a scroll through the top 1000 baby names of the year. You’ll get to know what’s trending (and might be too popular) and what you like.
