i only like vivienne when it's pronounced the french way viv-ee-ENN rather than VIV-ee-inn. i feel like everyone would mispronounce it if i were to ever use it.
yeah. vivian = americanized and vivienne = french IMO. i knew a girl whose name was carolina (pronounced with the "LEE"). while some people mispronounced it at first, everyone got the hang of it. i feel like no one would ever pronounce vivienne correctly.
