DH totally loves the name Vivienne. I do love it but am not keen on the shortening Viv. I prefer Vivi or V before Viv. What are your preferred spelling/pronunciation?

How would you naturally pronounce Vivienne? I prefer this spelling. What are your thoughts?

Vivienne is so much nicer to look at.

Same, Vivienne rhymes with pen, Vivian rhymes with Gideon.

I prefer Vivienne and I would shorten to V or Vi

I would pronounce Vivienne as "vi-vee-EN", like "en" as in "pen". I'm not sure if that's the correct way of pronouncing it though.

Vivienne is so much nicer and more modern than Vivian.
