HelpRe: Vivian/Vivienne/Vivien
in reply to a message by Leah
Yes, I pronounce them all the same. Okay, when I speak French or visit French relatives, then I pronounce Vivienne/Vivien the French way (I have a distant relative with the name Vivien (male)) but otherwise I pronounce them the English way. I think it would be kind of weird to pronounce Vivienne the French way in an English speaking country when all the other French names (Nicole, Jacqueline) get the English pronunciation.
I dislike Vivian, the A sticks out of the name and it looks not as elegant as the other two.
Vivien is fine, but it bothers me that's it's a boys name in France. So my favorite is Vivienne, it looks elegant and feminine.
