I personally do not like this name and to me it sounds snobby. Yes, my name is Vivian and I don’t like that either. But Vivienne just is worse and does not sound elegant to me at all. Sorry if you love this name but I think it sounds ugly.
Absolutely beautiful name, so feminine and classy. There needs to be more Vivienne’s!

Vivienne seems too fancy for my liking. Viviana is just not my taste. Vivien is just trying too hard with spelling. Vivianne is not my taste either. But my Grandmother's name, Vivian, I like a lot better. :)
Ahhh I absolutely love this name! The spelling and the way it sounds (pronounced viv-ee-en) is so cool and pretty. Not too overused either, at least to my knowledge. The fact that it’s a French name makes it even better :D.
The only pronunciation I can tolerate is saying it like Viv-ee-en (pronounced like the letter N as in enter). The other spellings don't fit well with the spelling, at least to me. :/
I like this name more than the other spellings like Vivian, or Vivien, or anything like that, mostly because this name just feels so elegant, or even special. I'm not saying that Vivian or Vivien, or others like that aren't special, but I love how each letter is repeated twice, and the way it's spelled and sounded.

I also like all the spellings but Vivien is probably my favorite - the others are a little over the top.

I actually like all the spellings of this name. (Vivian, Vivienne, Vivien.)
I like Vivian better, it's less floofy and overdone. Same goes to Vivianne, Viviane, and Viviana.

I don't like this spelling, it feels pretentious to me. Vivian/Vivien/Vivienne is a rather plain sounding name, I feel as though Vivienne is trying to make it grander or more elegant than it really is.

I think this name is elegant on a girl, and a few of my of ancestors were named this:)
Such a classy, sophisticated, cosmopolitan name-- embellished in the pearls of a pleasantly antiquated past.My one concern is restricted within the nickname-department... "Viv" or "Vivi" takes to sounding abominably infantile, for my taste. I could certainly foresee the possibility of using "Vinnie" (granted that I have not already put "Vincent"/"Vincenzo" into use) or "Enna" as a diminutive, however.
Vivienne is very beautiful. I prefer this spelling over Vivian, which looks dated to me. I just don't really like how popular it's been getting since Brad and Angelina named their daughter it--however, if things go as planned, I'll be using this as a middle name anyhow.
I rather like this French variant of the name; it's quite nice, adaptable to any age range and, in my opinion, one of the only decent names that Brad and Angelina have given to their children. :)
I love love love this name and had set it aside for future daughters. Unfortunately now that Brangelina have decided to use it I'm sure it will become so popular that I will have to choose something else. I don't want my child being one of 5 Vivienne's in her kindergarten class. Darn those two!
This is a lovely name. It has both an elegant appearance and sound, and the nickname Vivi is adorable for a child. I will consider using this for a future daughter of mine.
Love love love love this name. And I love this spelling best! I would totally name my kid this. I think it's gorgeous, a little long but very nice. Viv, and Vivi are nice nicknames. TIDBIT: each letter in this name appears twice. There are two v's, two i's, two e's and two n's. How cool!
