Vivien or Vivienne? Love both spellings trying to decide my favorite.

Vivian is male spelling Vivienne female.

HTH.

Vivienne

Onlinedilema · 26/08/2021 05:58

Vivienne looks much nicer. I didn't realise Vivien was the make spelling thanks for that NiceGerbil

TheWholeJingbang · 26/08/2021 05:59

Well the female spelling 😂

Justilou1 · 26/08/2021 06:23

Vivienne for the win

Nopetryagain · 26/08/2021 06:39

Neither go for Vyvyan!! Young Ones fan here.

It isn't, @Onlinedilema, Vivian is the male spelling, as is Vyvyan.

Vivien or Vivienne are the female spellings. I think some might say VIVyun for Vivien, and Vivvy-ENN for Vivienne, so choose whichever you like best.

Vivienne

daisypond · 26/08/2021 07:46

Vivien. Vivienne is pronounced differently.

Oldandcobwebbed · 26/08/2021 08:09

Vivien I would pronounce a hard n like pavilion. Vivienne I would pronounce with a enne like pen,

MrsBertBibby · 26/08/2021 09:06

Vivien. I would pronounce them the same, but Vivien has strength and style, whilst Vivienne is languishing and floppy.

IloveEB · 26/08/2021 09:10

Agree that the ending sounds different with the spelling. Vivy-in for Vivien and vivy-en for Vivienne

WimpoleHat · 26/08/2021 09:12

Vivien

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 26/08/2021 09:14

2nd one

Amz6219 · 26/08/2021 10:27

Assuming for a girl - Vivienne

ShinyHappySummers · 26/08/2021 10:28

Vivienne

Lonoxo · 26/08/2021 10:30

Vivienne looks better. I would pronounce the same but that’s prob due to my ignorance.

Ughmaybenot · 26/08/2021 10:31

I think Vivienne edges it for me personally, but I love it either way

Ninkanink · 26/08/2021 10:36

I would pronounce them differently too.

I like Vivienne best.

RavenclawsRoar · 26/08/2021 10:42

Vivienne looks much nicer imo.

jennytogether · 26/08/2021 10:43

Vivien … unless you have some French connection? It sort of seems a bit inauthentic otherwise.

flowerbus · 26/08/2021 10:44

Vivien

NiceGerbil · 26/08/2021 14:03

Just released I worked with a woman called Vivian. Everyone called her Viv. So in the end OP maybe it makes no odds!

Aquamarine1029 · 26/08/2021 14:05

Vivienne.
