Choose one of these two feminine Hungarian names:

And why you chose it.

I like everything about Vivien better. "Mil" is one of my least favorite sounds in names, and I really don't like Ks for the most part. And, I love Vs and Is.

Kamilla because I’m a fan of Camilla

Good question!
I kind of like both names. But I'd choose Kamilla, because it's easier to explain how to spell Kamilla, than Vivien, imo:
"Camilla with a K" vs. "Vivian with an E". So, Kamilla and Viviane, Vivienne...?

In English, I prefer Vivien to Camilla. I've got no context for Hungarian names (and how Hungarian is Vivien anyway?) but in English I'd definitely get trendy vibes if I saw Camilla written as Kamilla. So, Vivien for me, all the way. And this is the spelling I prefer.

At first I was confused to see Vivien used in Hungary, but then I understood that in Hungarian, names are usually borrowed (mostly from English!), like Bianka, Dzsesszika (Jessica), Brendon, Adel (Adele) or even Benett (Bennett) and Imodzsen/Imodszen (Imogen)!

In this case Vivien is borrowed from French Vivienne.
