This is my favorite spelling of this name. I find it beautiful, classy, and should be more popular than it is.

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!
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.
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!
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. :)
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.
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.
