Re: Vivien for a boy?

The only male Vivian I've ever known was the guy from the Brit sitcom "The Young Ones" (and probably 95% of this board is too young to know what that is...) He was such a freak though, he doesn't do much to make it seem more masculine to me. It just seemed like one more weird thing. Other Vivians I'm met/known have always been women.

Vivian is the only spelling I like. And for a female.

Wasn't his name spelled Vyvyan, though? I personally prefer the name Vivian on a girl, but the spelling Vyvyan makes it seem more masculine to me because of that crazy punk character in the Young Ones :-)

Could be. I don't recall.

It's the first thing I think of too! (I'm 19, but live in England, where the Young Ones is still pretty massive, despite finishing years ago!) I like it more as a girl's name, though.

I'm 17--I love The Young Ones! :)
