Viviana

[thomasine]

I think this is prettier than Vivien.
Would love to hear opinions of others on the name.

i went to uni with a viviana and she was an italian stunner....such a glamourous grown up name with Vivi for when she is little and cute....

Not keen.

trying too hard

She will spend her life haveing it mis pronounced and having to constantly spell it for people.

Vivienne looks prettier (like Anne-with an E of Green Gables )

What about Vivianne? I have a beloved aunt of that name (French family), and I think it's lovely (and maybe a bit less try-hard). She's also Vivi (or Viv) most of the time, which I think is very pretty, too.

No. Much prefer Vivien

Not entirely sure why it's try-hard. That has been mentioned twice so far.
I don't find the Vivien attractive and Vivienne is too frilly for me. I don't like the name Anne, so Vivianne would be out of the question.

It just seems a bit unnecessary and frilly when Vivien/Vivienne is a lovely name on its own.

A comment from the back row. I could imagine vile teenage boys having a bit of a word play on viviana in a way that they just wouldn't with vivien.

Sorry try hard popped into my head too.

I thought Vivien was a boys name, I know one, and Vivienne the girl's version. I don't like made up names.

I like it a lot -- I tend to really like all things Italian.

trying too hard came in to my head too...

Sounds like a brand of contraceptive pill. I like Vivien though.

I quite like it. Glam and fab. I used to know someone called Liliana and that was beautiful, too - shortened to Lili, but the long version worked really well.

I would judge and not favourably either. Sorry.

It's no different as far as the tth pov goes from a name like Juliana.
