My husband and I are narrowing down names and we have two top contenders but the spelling of each is hotly debated.
We like Brycen or Bryson for a boy.Our intention is for the name to sound like Bryce, with an n at the end.
For a girl we like Vivianne, Vivian, Vivienne...etc. Any help or thoughts on how you would expect to see these names spelt? Thanks!

I like Bryce or Bryson and Vivian.
-
I pronounce Brycen and Bryson differently. I think I pronounce Brycen (BRYCE-in) how you prefer, but I prefer Bryson (BRI-son) of the two.
I don't have any preference between Vivian or Vivenne. I think of the -enne ending as trendy (French ending) and the -ian as traditional (English ending)
I pronounce Vivianne phonetically, like viv-ee-ANNE instead of VIV-ee-in
-
Same thoughts exactly on Vivian/enne as @TemperanceBrennan: I like both. Vivianne I would pronounce more similar to Maryanne.
I much prefer Bryson. Brycen looks made up to me.
-
I prefer Bryson definitely! No opinion on Vivian/ne I think any of them will work just depends what sound you are going for.

I like Bryson and Vivienne
-
I think it depends on how you want the name pronounced. I find "Brysen" a little feminine.
"Vivienne" would be pronounced "Vi-vi-EN", whereas "Vivian" is "VI-vi-an", and "Vivianne" is "Vi-vi-ANNE"
-
I agree that Vivian, Vivienne, and Vivianne are all pronounced differently, so it depends on which pronunciation you are going for.
I much prefer Brice to Bryson, but I pronounce both of the spellings you proposed pretty much the same (like bison with an R).
-
For the boys name, I think Bryson looks better.
I have a Vivian, and we chose that spelling over Vivienne because it seemed more classic/traditional. FWIW, everyone we've encountered assumes that "Vivian" is the correct spelling (they never ask us), so I think with a Vivienne/Vivianne, you'd probably have to spell it out for people. But I think they are all beautiful.

Bryson and Vivienne (I'm French and biased

Bryson and Vivienne

I voted for Vivienne. Not a fan of Bryson, but it's better than Brycen.
-
I've never seen Brycen as a name and neither has auto correct.
I'd spell it Bryson. As for Vivian/ Vivienne either is fine. I'm a fan of Angelina Jolie and would spell it like her little girl-Vivienne.
Vivianne sounds like a different name- Vivi-Anne losing the -en sound.
-
I would spell it Bryson but I think that would be pronounced more like bri-SON.

I'd spell it Bryson. Reply
