How would you spell this nickname

Hello,

My baby daughter is called Genevieve (mn Grace).

While we use her full name a lot, she also gets called Vivi (pronounced Vee-Vee), as my sons and DH like this... my intention was to cal her either Vivi or Evie, but Vivi seems to have stuck!

However, the spelling of this nn seems to have caused confusion, with family members referring to her as Viv-i, which I hate. I’ve taken to spelling it Veevie... does this look a bit weird/inelegant? Any better ways to spell it? Vivie? Vievie?

Also, which do you prefer as a nickname... Veevie or Evie? Some family members have said they dislike the nickname Vivi full stop (and said quite rude things about it!) which has upset me...

My daughter is violet, sometimes we call her vivi

I know a Violet called Vivi too (i.e pronounced veevee). It’s lovely!

Stick with Vivi, OP.

I have a Genevieve and call her Vivi too. Pronounced Veevee. I use Genevieve outside of the house but she’s Vivi at home.
Still only 2 months so we’ll see how it goes as she gets older.
