I'm not a massive fan, although I prefer the spelling Vivienne. I like the previous suggestion of Genevieve; gorgeous

I also wouldn't worry about some of your restrictions, but I guess you have them for a reason. If you can let up on the 6 letters thing, I think Vivienne is the prettiest, most feminine spelling of the name. Gotta say I love all the PP's who suggested Genevieve, +1!

I believe Vivien Leigh was born with the Vivian spelling and then her agent recommended she change it. I have to say I don't think "boy" for any of the spellings honestly. I think Vivienne is pretty but a bit frilly in a way that Vivien/Vivian isn't. At the moment I'm really into V names for some reason, just very pretty and femme. I like Genevieve but I prefer ALL the spellings of Vivian/Vivien/Vivienne to it. I know it breaks your ends in -a rule (but follows the number of letters rule, that's something, right?) but I love Viveca/Vivica as well. It's like the best bits of Vivienne and Annika for me as far as sound, without being made up. And Violet comes in under the wire, doesn't it? I do love Violet.

Young Ones here too, which isn't necessarily a bad thing My vote is for the Vivienne spelling.
