I'm not expecting but we're planning on trying pretty soon, and I'm hoping for a girl! I'm really liking the name Vivian but unsure of how I should spell it and what is a good middle name for it.
Viviane Rose
Viviane Grace
Viviane Jean
What do you think?
Re: Vivian or Viviane?
I prefer Vivienne.
Out of your choices though - Vivian.
haha I guess I never thought of that! lol...thanks tho! I kind of like it like that...Vivienne...
Thank you Pretty Woman & Ya-Ya Sisterhood lol
I prefer Vivienne (and love this name).
Out of your choices though, I would go with the spelling Vivian. I prefer Grace out of those 3 middle name choices.

I like Vivian Rose or Vivian Grace.
To me, the spelling Viviane looks like Viv-ee-aine (rhymes with window pane)
I agree!
My favorite spelling is Vivienne. I prefer Vivian from your choices.
Viviane=Vih-vee-ayne. I hope that's not the pronunciation you're going for.
Go with Vivian, or Vivienne, my preference.
Vivian/Vivienne is a trendy name?....since when? I havent seen it on any top name lists?
If you want the E, prepare for her to be called Vivi-ANNE.
Of the middle names, Vivian Rose or Vivian Grace.
Ever since Angelina Jolie named her baby this.. it's been a very frequent post subject on this website anyway. Five years ago you NEVER heard the name used, except for older women. That's how I'd judge that it's become very trendy. And I'd suspect it's rising fast on the SSN list, tho I have not looked for it.
It disappeared from the SSA list in 1930. It first reappeared in 2009 at 532!!!!
But it's not just b/c of Angelina.
It's also because so many ladies right now are looking for "Old" names: https://nameberry.com/blog/2009/11/10/old-lady-names-ready-for-the-next-wave/

We're using Vivian for our daughter....
I really dislike the Vivienne spelling.
You should have heard the swearing at our house when Angelina Jolie named her daughter Vivienne. We've had that named picked out for a good 4 years. It has gone up in popularity -- Vivian is in the 160s now -- but I think it's still at a point we're comfortable with it. It's not going to be like Sophia. It's been lurking in the mid to low 200s for a while.
