I prefer [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] myself, as is does seem lighter to me. [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] is a touch heavy for my liking, and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is a little too frilly, so [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] serves as middle ground. [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] makes for a lovely name. I think the [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] spelling fits a little better with her sisters names too.

Personally, I like the [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] spelling due to the link to the use of the name for the Lady of the [name_u]Lake[/name_u] in Arthurian literature. The Gone with the Wind association ([name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u]) is also nice.

I picked [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] because I think that’s how most people would spell it and it would simplify her life.

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] just seems “right” to me. It also looks more feminine

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] also seems like the “right” spelling to me. I love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Rain[/name_u], it’s gorgeous.

[name_u]Vivien[/name_u] [name_u]Rain[/name_u]
