I like the sound and I like it written down and dont mind it shortened to viv. Husband finds it criminally horrible. Really?

I think Young Ones as well.

It's not a name I'd use, indeed it's not a name I like, but it's a perfectly good name IYSWIM.

I think of the Young Ones too.

It's nice enough written down, but Viv is hideous, and, yes, I'm afraid it makes me think of the Young Ones, too. Is it pronounced VIV-ian or Vivi-ENNE, btw?

Reminds me of Vivian Darkbloom, minor character in Lolita.

It is an anagram of Vladimir Nabokov, literary fact fans!
