Avy, Ivy, or Vivy? They all work with our name, but I'm not sure which I like best?
 
I think I'd go for Vivy, simply because Ivy is a name in its own right and I'd assume Avy is a nn for Ava, whereas I think Vivy could be short for Olivia, Vivian, Genniveve... so people are more likely to ask what her name is and not assume it is something its not. If that makes any sense :haha:. Plus my DD's nn is Vivi (I guess that's how I'd spell it, pronounced Vee-vee) or Veevs and Vivy is similar so I'm leaning towards it our of bias :haha:
 
Id say Vivy too for reasons above and I'd also hold back om nicknames as they seem to be more spontaneous rather than planned x
 
Is it a short 'I' or a long 'I'? We have an Evie and DD1 always called her 'veevee', we don't use it all the time but I think it's cute.

Not sure I like Avy and whilst I love the name Ivy, it is a name on its own as a pp said.

It's a short 'i', actually pronounced more like 'ah', hence the Avy. Ivy (well, Ivie) is the end of the name so I put Ivy in as an option.

Avy would be pronounced Ay-vee and Vivy like Viv-ee.

It'll be the name we call her most of the time. I'll introduce her as baby Vivy, if that's what we choose, and then put the whole name. Plus I hate the names Liv or Livvy, and don't want Olly used either really. I thought if we can choose which short form we like and want used then that's what will be used as opposed to another one.

Thanks! Vivy was my original favourite, but Ivy is a name I've always liked, and Avy just appealed to me, so thought I'd ask which worked best!

Ah,That makes sense. In that case Vivy!?
 
Ivy is one of my favourite names so I voted for that, but now that I've thought about it, I agree with Eleanor ace that since it's very much its own name, people would probably assume it's her full name so it doesn't feel as nickname-y. Vivy is really cute. :)
 
Just love Oliviè and now with the nickname Vivy it just got even cuter x
