Thoughts on Vivienne?

[Kiwilime]

What do you think of the name Vivienne? Any negative associations I should know about?

First three things I think of- Pretty Woman, Vivenne Westwood and The Vivienne from Drag Race. I'm quite neutral on those connotations and I actually really like it as a name.

Love this name!

I like the name, but love The Young Ones too much to take it seriously.

Aww, I love Vivienne. Such a beautiful name.

It is a timeless classic that will always be a beautiful name.

It is a timeless classic that will always be a beautiful name.

Absolutely. I have one in my family and her nn is Vivi, pronounced Viv-eee. Gorgeous name.

The bitchy girl in legally blonde

I love this name and if I were to have a daughter I'd name her Vivienne in a heart beat. It's a beautiful name

Love it - I would never have thought of other negative connections. I would do it - lovely name

Absolutely gorgeous name , love it

The one I knew as a teen was a fucking nightmare who destroyed many others lives.

Gorgeous please use it

My imaginary DD2 is Vivienne - Vivi for short!

Yes it's lovely- DS is 2 weeks old but Vivienne was the name we would have used for a daughter. Please use it. Such a timeless classic and I love the nn Vivi.

Such a beautiful name, although prefer it spelt Vivien (as in the actress)

Did you just watch Pretty Woman on BBC lol.

I like it.

I should like it - the full name looks pretty, as does Vivi. But Viv as a shortening seems so pedestrian and 70's. 'Aunty Viv' just conjures up an image of someone in a rain mac and headscarf. Then there's the Young ones (Vivian) of course.

So a mixed vote from me, sorry!

I prefer the Vivien Leigh spelling too.

The Young Ones!! The name is beautiful but they will be called Viv at school which is not pretty.

Unless you can make Vivi stick as a nickname.

I love Vivienne as a full name, but not shortened to Viv, I would definitely consider it if I were to have another daughter but would need to work on a short version to avoid being Viv.

After the Young Ones the next person I think of is Viv Nicholson and "Spend, spend, spend".

Not a positive name for me.

I also prefer Vivien.
