Thoughts on Vivienne?

[Kiwilime]

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

Love it - all Vivienne's are fabulous! (Including from the Young ones! )

Vivisection.

Beautiful name. I do think of pretty woman but that's because my gran loved it and I must have seen it about 1000 times growing up!

I love it. I love Vivi as a nickname. It feels so vibrant. It means life or lively, I think.

Love it and my good friend is Vivi and she is a burst of sunshine

Pretty much agree with Toni here...

I love Vivienne and also love Valentina but don’t love Viv or Val as nns so wouldn’t chose them.

I could do Vivi though!

I love it - I think it’s very elegant.

I also once knew a lovely Viviana, a very chic Italian woman, and have always loved that too!

I love my name but hate being called Vivi. I used Viv for a long time but it doesn’t really go with my one syllable surname (I never write them together and dislike it if people do). Going back to the full version now as I’m getting older.

My cousin Vivien has had untold problems with this spelling in France/French officialdom etc as they expect her to be male. She warned me to spell the name Vivienne if I wanted to use it.
