What do you think of the name Vivienne? Any negative associations I should know about?

I love this name and if I were to have a daughter I'd name her Vivienne in a heart beat. It's a beautiful name

I like the name, but love The Young Ones too much to take it seriously.

Love this name!

First three things I think of- Pretty Woman, Vivenne Westwood and The Vivienne from Drag Race. I'm quite neutral on those connotations and I actually really like it as a name.
