HelpRe: Unique Sibset sitting: Valeria and Jubilee
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Let me make sure: Valeria Valor gives rise to the nn Vivi? Just initials, no doubt, but really they could have done better: Valerie Victoria would have worked just as well without that repeated Val-Val, not to mention the repeated meaning. Juju = Jubilee Jude is also startling: some British kids were named Jubilee when the late Queen had her one, but this one surely can't be a nonce name? And when I see Jude I don't give Judith a thought, being too busy singing Hey Jude in my head. Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, hey Jude ... OK, I'll stop now, I promise.

Likewise, I think a few other ideas might have been slightly more desirable to Jubilee Jude specifically, but I don't entirely hate it. I'm not a fan of double initials, but if I had to stick with it to get "Juju" for them, I might have gone with Julia Jubilee or Judith Jubilee and made Jubilee the middle instead. If it was leaning more heavily into my taste but still had that criteria, she would have been Juliana Juniper, so it's probably for the best she's not my child, lmao XD
Right, I was a bit confused by that too. I think, logically, Valeria Valor would give way to "Vava" instead of "Vivi"? But Americans are pretty fast and lose when it comes to switching out vowels in names and nicknames, so I'm not surprised. I think a few more different combinations might have been a better fit to arrive to the "Vivi" nickname, if that was the objective with the older sister having the nickname "Juju"
