Final thoughts on “V” girl names
Before you make your daughter’s name official, here are a few questions worth asking yourself:
-
- How often will others assume the wrong spelling of the name? If you go with Valery, for example, most people will default to the spelling of Valerie until corrected. Think about whether this may bother your daughter one day.
- Will the name get made fun of? (It’s a shame to have to think about this, I know.) You might want to stay away from invented V names like Viara which sounds like Viagra.
- Will young kids be able to pronounce the name? It’s really common for little ones to have trouble pronouncing letters and sounds such as “R”, “S”, “L”, “Th”, and “Z”. Names like Valeria and Venus might be particularly hard for your daughter and her friends to say for a few years. Again, think about whether this matters to you—it may not.
- Is the name too similar to other living family members? You might want to skip the V name Vivienne if your daughter’s cousin is named Vivianna.
Ultimately, you and your partner should choose whichever girl name that starts with V that makes you the happiest. It’s a very personal decision that only you can make!
Congratulations and good luck choosing the perfect V name for your baby girl!
