Ok please don't flame me, I'm in between appointments for root canal treatment and I need a distraction I'm in pain!
What do you think of the girls name Vivi? How would you spell it other than above. Am thinking of pronouncing it VeeVee rather than Vivi as in Vivian. Reminds me of Fifi or Didi, but think it's a bit more grown up if that makes sense? Thumbs up or down?

Love Vivienne or Genevive, but Vivi alone just makes me think of vivisection.

Ah I was thinking as a name in its own right - perhaps not! How about if hyphenated with something else - Vivi-May?

As a nn for Vivienne or Genevieve, yes.

OK as a nickname for Genevieve or similar, not sure it stands up as a name in it's own right. That said if you love it then I'd say there's a lot worse out there
