Which one?

I think I've narrowed down name choices to these two. Unfortunately the middle name is pretty unchangeable because of my husband's desire to name a child after his grandmother, so I know it doesn't flow that well, and I don't really care that much, I just want a first name that I like (hence why he gets to insert Virginia for a middle name). Last name is Narotski (also unchangeable, ha ha).

I think Vivian sounds better because the syllable stress pattern is exactly the same in both Virginia and Rebecca. At least Vivian has the stress on the first syllable.
