I like this spelling better than the English version. It's so pretty and has a flair to it. It makes me think of a woman who is tall, with olive skin, dark eyes and wavy hair, and wears a garland of Lavender. She's plump but not fat, and is very classy. It's an older name and not overly used. So regal and graceful. I'd consider this for my daugter in the future.
To excuse my mix-up with the gender of this name, I'd name my daughter Vivienne*. For some reason I thought this was more feminine spelling of Vivian. Well I hope I made the guys with this name feel pretty ;)
