Like @Foodnerd81: said, i don't like having two spellings and having to differentiate between which one is being used. Plus the extreme jump year over year of vivienne makes me nervous that will become very popular (liek charlotte, which i also love) and if you add the two names together that's just too popular for us.</p> <p>I hate that there are so many things to consider! There are a ton of names i love that i feel like i can't use for one reason or another.... back to the drawing board </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939551 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 13:54:21 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1939551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it with the French spelling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939483 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 13:33:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1939483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: I like it a lot, spelled either way, but having two spellings like that was a deal breaker for me. But that's because I have a popular name with two common spellings and I dislike having to specify how it's spelled all the time, so it's just a personal pet peeve. </p> <p>Also why I won't use Caitlin or any of its many spellings even though I love the name. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939369 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:52:33 +0000 yellowbird 1939369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it, esp vivi as a nn! So cute </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939358 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:50:12 +0000 rrachael 1939358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it with the spelling Vivienne! My cousin named her daughter Viviana, which is slightly less popular and still very pretty. I don't think you have to worry too much about popularity being a huge deal unless it enters the top fifty ... Which is still a ways off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939351 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:46:51 +0000 raspberries 1939351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vivian's on my top name list as well - it was my grandma's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939347 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:46:06 +0000 Meowkers 1939347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. I think that name really hits all the criteria you listed. Classic, easy to pronounce/spell and not too common, (although I do feel it's growing in popularity.)</p> <p>ETA: I know two Vivians, both in their 20s/30s. I don't know any Viviennes personally but I think I prefer that spelling over Vivian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939337 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:41:52 +0000 catlady 1939337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's name is Vivian. We love it and everyone always compliments us/her on the name. We are hoping the name stops rising up the charts at some point, although we haven't met another Vivian yet. No one is ever confused by the spelling (I think "Vivienne" might be confusing to some). So I am hugely biased but I think it's a wonderful name. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939329 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:38:55 +0000 redeyedtreefr0g 1939329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>&lt;3 Vivian </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939323 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:37:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1939323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it. I prefer the Vivian spelling too - that would definitely be my default if I heard the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939304 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:31:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1939304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vivian is at the top of my name list if we ever have another daughter (not happening - we're two and through). Love it and have loved it since I was a child!! I prefer the Vivian spelling because I think that's the more common way, and the way I would default spell it if I heard someone with the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939285 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:27:43 +0000 pinkb 1939285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-this-name-8#post-1939142 Tue, 11 Nov 2014 11:38:54 +0000 lawbee11 1939142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it!

It's still not in the top 100, so I wouldn't completely discount it.
