[Opinions] Viveka / Vivica
WDYT?Viveka is interesting to me because it exists in two languages - it's a form of Vivek, as well as being a form of Wiebke.I have a poll up about the spelling, and so far it's
Viveka - 4
Viveca - 5
Vivica (like Vivica Fox, and basically no one else?) - 7
How would you spell it?- mirfak

Vivica, like Ms. Fox! I agree with the person who said Viveka looks like it's prn. Vuh-VEE-kuh lol

I personally considered Viveca. I think the c is far softer for a girl. I don't mind the k spelling, and it does seem almost more authentic that way. However, I just prefer Viveca.

I am a Viveca. I hate to be called Viv or Vivi. My daughter is also a Viveca. I do think Viveka is cute. Viveca Lindsfor was the only other I knew or heard of until I was grown. There is a discernment that comes with the name!It originated as a Hindu name. I was trying to Research and see how it became popular in Sweden. Only thing could be war between the countries ???Long Hail the Vivecas', no matter what!!

Because I have a friend named Viveca, that would be my default spelling. I could see the appeal of Viveka too though. Sidenote, the Viveca I know has a sister name Vroneli - how's that for interesting?

I really like this name, but that may be because I have a friend with this name as well as a cousin. My friend's name is spelt Viveka, while my cousin's name is spelt her name Vivika.
I do prefer the Viveka spelling.

I like it a lot as a feminine form of Vivek so I would spell it Viveka. Sometimes I think I almost like it as much as Vivienne, a long term favourite, but I'm not quite there yet. Definitely edgier than Vivienne at any rate.

I've never thought about it much but Viveka is really nice. I also like that it's a form of two cometely different names. Vivica isn't as interesting, and reminds me of cold Vivian.

Unquestionably I would spell it Vivica. Viveka and Viveca look as though they ought to be prn (vih-VEE-kuh). I assume you want to prn it (VIH-vih-kuh).

Vivica looks best, but Viveka preserves the etymological links best.But I prefer plain Viva.

I like spelling form Viveka - it's too close of original spelling.

Viveka! It seems to have more personality. And Vivica is more like some common names like Erica, Jessica, etc. which aren't bad, but they do make the "ica" ending sound more common and maybe more vapid. Viveka is more down to earth but also more exciting at the same time.

Vivica is my favorite spelling. I like it; it's like Vivien's little sister. Really feminine.

I'd spell it Vivica. Not a name I like.My teeth touch my lower lip twice, saying it.

I love names that belong in different languages, one of the reasons I love Nina so much.Vivica is more familiar, and I think I'd go with that. My next vote would be for Viveka. Viveca looks wrong to me, I'm not sure why.

I'd probably spell it Vivica, since it looks the most familiar to me (although my phone keeps auto-correcting it to "Civics"). I like its similarity to Vivian. Viveca is prettier, imo, but I've encountered it far less often. Don't like Viveka as much, though that seems to be the most legitimate spelling. Huh.
