I actually know a woman named
Lavinia (she's around 50). She's very hip, very athletic, is a well-respected professional -- not frumpy at all. She does the name proud. Still, I can't say that I love it. For the longest time, I kept wanting to call
Lavinia Olivia (four syllables, prominent v sound). Whatever. I do think it's doable.
The rest are NMS although
Leocadia is fascinating.
Helle would be mispronounced a lot, I fear. I do like
Halcyon (nn
Hallie).
