Ok please don't flame me, I'm in between appointments for root canal treatment and I need a distraction I'm in pain!
What do you think of the girls name Vivi? How would you spell it other than above. Am thinking of pronouncing it VeeVee rather than Vivi as in Vivian. Reminds me of Fifi or Didi, but think it's a bit more grown up if that makes sense? Thumbs up or down?

lovely as a NN, but not IMO as a stand alone. Lacks gravitas.
LOVE Genevieve
Like Vivienne
Violet is also ok.

I love the nn Vivi, but would probably use Vivienne as longer name. Also really like Violet - could possibly use Vivi as nn with this?

I'm not keen on Vivienne, and think vivi would end up being vivi and not vee-vee. I do love Genevieve, and Veevee would make more sense as a nickname for that. In my opinion, by giving a full name, your daughter can choose if she wants vee-vee through her life or if she wants a more 'adult' name as she grows up. If you just give her Vee-vee she has no choice. And, I must admit,as a stand alone name I hate Vivi.

I looked at it and promounced it VEEVEE.

Lovely NN, but would have a longer name... Vivienne??

Oh, yes... Genevieve...

that's LOVELY.
