Okay so now I have graduated on up to asking questions about my favorite names starting with V. As a reminder when I did a similiar post to this the last 2 times these were my most favorite names listed for each letter category:

[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
Atanasia
So, for the names I love most that start with letter V we have:
[name_u]Vivien[/name_u] - I think the pronunciation for [name_u]Vivien[/name_u] is pretty self explanatory, this is my favorite spelling for this name, I like the simplicity that it possesses that [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] just doesn’t and I like the more feminine appeal it possesses that [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] seems to lack (at least for me). [name_u]An[/name_u] intuitive nickname I’d likely be using if I named my daughter this would be zippy and sassy [name_f]Vivie[/name_f]. 
[name_f]Violeta[/name_f] (VYE-ah-leht-uh) - I know, I know… the way I choose to pronounce this name is not technically right but in an Anglophone country I think it’s the one that would be accepted most at face value, I also want to save my kids the pestering annoyance of constant reminders to people of the proper way to say their name so as a result we arrive at this gorgeously blooming name. The nickname I am just head over heels for is [name_f]Lettie[/name_f].
[name_f]Viorica[/name_f] (vee-yo-ree-ka) - a Romanian feminine name based off the masculine form of the name [name_m]Viorel[/name_m], both ultimately descend from the Romanian word for “bluebell” which is written as viorea. I think this would be a fun and super uncommon way to pay homage to where my family has originated from and I am actually more attracted to this name since finding out the definition is not technically “violet flower” or anything even to do with the color purple but instead it means “bluebell”… so needless to say this is an exceptional botanical name and one I think that needs no nickname to it.
[name_f]Veridian[/name_f] (ver-ID-ee-an) - I much prefer this spelling over the alternate [name_u]Viridian[/name_u] one. I can see this name being unisex but I get a heavy feminine feel off of it and a bit of a “diamond in the rough” because… I never run into anybody who has used it! This is also the only one on the list that I might actually would rather use as a middle name rather than a first. Nicknames for [name_f]Veridian[/name_f] are currently uncertain though I think that V / Vee might work well. Annnnd just in case [name_f]Veridian[/name_f] wanes on me it has several offshoots that I like almost equally as much and they are [name_u]Viridian[/name_u], [name_f]Viridis[/name_f], Viridia, Verdiana, and [name_f]Viridiana[/name_f]. I view them all as the coolest alternatives to the more popular grouping of [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_f]Vivia[/name_f], etc…
[name_f]Velia[/name_f] (VEHL-ya) or (VEEL-ya) - it looks like this origin is Italian which is fine by me. Both exceedingly rare and reminding me of one of the top 10 names I keep track of aka [name_f]Delia[/name_f], at least in appearances anyway, it seems the Italians pronounce [name_f]Velia[/name_f] a little differently than I would at first be inclined too. I’d love to have this name myself, pronunciation if’s held aside, and so I also would have very few doubts giving a child this name too.
[name_f]Vana[/name_f] (VAH-nuh) - I appreciate its shortness and it seems that this name is also multicultural as I have found numerous countries it is said to have begun in which makes the actual simplicity of the name kind of relaxing in a way.
if you don’t mind mispronunciation.
