I don't like this at all. Why would you add Anne? Vivian and Vivienne are much prettier and more sophisticated.

I liked Vivian but I now love this French variant so much more! It just rings out classy and sophisticated, and I love names that end in Anne. I also heard of this variant from the book The Strange and Wonderful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslie Walton.
In my opinion, the most beautiful, classy, feminine and sophisticated name I've ever heard. I would pronounce it vivi-ANNE and am definitely going to use it for a daughter.
This looks like it should be pronounced vivi-ANNE. I prefer Vivian, and only that spelling. Vivienne, Vivien, Vivane, Vivyan, etc. Are just not my cup of tea.

I like it better spelled as Viviane, partly because it's the name Marion Zimmer Bradley used for the Lady of the Lake in Mists of Avalon.
