HelpRe: How do you pronounce...
in reply to a message by humblebee
This is why I don't like Vivienne too - it looks like it needs to be pronounced viv-YEN. It's pretty, but it's not Vivien.
I like Vivien most, because Vivian looks masculine to me.
I think people probably can't hear any difference when I say Vivian and Vivien. But I think I can ... I feel like I'm saying the last syllable a little bit different. I use a slightly longer neutral vowel for the -an. Vivian = Vivvy-un, Vivien = almost like Vivvy-in.
