It always makes me think of poor Lavinia in Titus Andronicus. It's a lovely name but Shakespeare kind of ruined it for me.

I love Lavinia: it has a lovely ancient and aristocratic vibe.

My favorite combos from your list are...

Lavinia Agata
Lavinia Zoe
Lavinia Salomè
Lavinia Rosetta
Lavinia Giuditta
Lavinia Flora
Lavinia Ester
Lavinia Dafne

Lavinia is a really pretty name, and has always given me a "Southern" vibe. She's so Latinate and fancy, though, that she really doesn't need a flashy partner in a combo. Lavinia Helen is just fine.

It comes across as refined to me but not uptight. It reminds me of wisteria.

When I was younger, I probably would have thought it sounded snobby, but I like it now; it's grown on me.

---

Lavinia Tosca and Lavinia Primavera are too operatic for me.

---

I like Fiammetta, but it's too much of a mouthful with Lavinia.

---

I like Lavinia Zoe, but I like Zoe as a middle name for most things.

---

Rosetta seems sweet with it.

---

Lavinia Salomè is striking. That's my favorite.

P.S. I adore Fiammetta!
