I'm wondering where the name Viveca or Vivica comes from? And how is it normally pronounced? I was thinking VIV-eh-kuh. Thanks in advance._____________________________________________________________________♥Elinor♥

I love this name. It's in the BtN database as Viveka, but Ylva says they spell it Viveca in Sweden as well. I prefer the "c" spelling. In English, it is pronounced "VIV-uh-ca," perhaps influenced by the unrelated name Vivian / Vivien. I first heard the name via Viveca Lindfors, a Swedish actress who had a few roles in Hollywood in the 40's (I think). There is also an American journalist, Viveca Novak. There is an actress Vivica Fox, but I'm not sure how she spells her name; I just remember that it is not the tradtional spelling.It's very pretty and I'd love to see it become more popular.

In the north of Sweden, it's pronounced vi-VÉ-kah (almost vi-VAY-kah)Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe where you were sure of finding shirts - Frida Kahlo
