I would think a male for that spelling.

Vivien or Vivienne for a girl.

Vivienne is my grandmother's name so I quite like it. We would've used it for a middle name if DS2 had been a girl.

Thoughts:

Vivienne is a GORGEOUS name. original.gif

Your rules, especially #2, are too restrictive. wink.gif

It's DD's MN, so I love it! That spelling too - DD is named after someone.

I thought the male spelling was more Vyvyan? But in any event, I don't think it's that clear a distinction in spelling.

I think Vivien is the more common spelling for girls but any of the three alternatives are acceptable to me.
