Love my name. Have had it for 63 years. Was named because my Great Grandmother was born in Vienna Austria, but I love that it has Latin origin. My bloodlines are multi-national, as are most great Americans. Grateful! But, I never liked it to be cut short to V. I am Vienna.

My mom chose the name Vienna because she wanted a unique name kids could not easily make fun of. For the same reason she named my sister Summer. All through school we were known as the Sausage Sisters…. Hey, if that’s the worst they can do I’ll take it!! I love my name!!

  I’ve wanted to use the name Vienna for awhile now but my much older sister said everyone would make fun of my kid because of Vienna sausages and beef. I’m not sure how old you are but I’m hoping most kids today won’t recognize that connection (compared to Boomers and Gen X). I’ve had a hard time letting go of the name! Even moreso after hearing the song by Billy Joel. Glad to hear you still like your name despite kids being mean about it.

We just had our baby three days ago and we named her Vienna, not very common name especially for Nigerians. We chose the name coz its beautiful, the city has a special place to our heart, the name is Vintage, Classic and unique. Who wouldn’t fall in love with just hearing that your name is Vienna at first hearing it? Got the name inspiration from Owl City Album song titled “Dear Vienna”.

The name Vienna was the name of my paternal Great Grandmother. She was said to be a living angel, and she was of Mormon stock, true to the traditions of family, community and love of fellow man (I am culturally though not religiously Mormon on that side of my family).
When considering a name for a girl, I chose Vienna for this namesake, but also because the name is classic, not too common, yet easy to pronounce in both English and Spanish (we are a bi-lingual/cultural family). I also had only good associations with it, didn’t know a living person with the name, and could see it being for a baby, a girl, or an adult woman. Also, who doesn’t love the nickname V?

Vienna – Its pretty, its not common or over used … and its not wildly out there or overly unique.

We chose Vienna for our first born because we thought it was beautiful & unique. Also, we read that it means “life” & “chosen one” which was meaningful to us & our faith.
