I like them both, but I would probably go for Vivian over Stella (and not just because that is my kid's middle name). In my area, there are a lot more Stella's then there are Vivian's.....and I like to go for the least popular.
I am going to say Stella. Both names are a bit trendy for me but the insane amount of Vivian and Vivienne and the same usage I have seen lately is a big turn off

I like both names but give a nudge to Stella. I do prefer the Vivienne spelling/pronunciation a bit more. Both names are gorgeous so you really can't go wrong. Stella Vivian has a nice flow. IRL I only know one Vivian and it's my step sister's baby. Stella is on my list if we have baby#3
I like them both, but I like Vivian, especially since I plan to use it myself! With the less common, but still valid, Vivien spelling (for the beautiful actress Vivien Leigh). Which makes me wonder if you're a fan of the film, A Streetcar Named Desire, or is this just a coincidence?
