Vivienne

[toastiee]

DH has suggested this name this morning, he loves it. What do you guys think?

Would probably pair with a one syllable middle name, maybe Hope or Joy.

I would pronounced it Vuh vee n

I like it, but only when it's pronounced à la française, so Vi-vee-enn. (Excuse my crap quasi phonics.)

Pronounced the English way, I just think of the character from The Young Ones! Showing my age.

Sorry I don't like it. Reminds me of The Young Ones.

I would say it Viv-ee-ehn

I would spell it Vivien if you don't want the last syllable to be emphasised. Vivi is a lovely short form.

I also thought of pretty woman straight away

Love it. I prefer Vivien too.

So would you say there's a pronunciation difference between Vivien and Vivienne? @VanillaAndOrange

There definitely is. Vivienne has emphasis on the last syllable which is pronounced enn

It's beautiful & different too, you probably won't get one in the same class!
