Name spelling advice - French/English couple - Viviane/Vivian/Vivienne
Hi!! We plan to name our baby Vivian! Looking for views on the best spelling. For context, I am English Canadian and my partner is French Canadian. We live in Quebec which is primarily French. Our child will speak both English and French in the home but attend school in French.
I will likely pronounce Vivian in the english way- it’s a name In my family, as will the anglos in my life (many of my friends, my family in other areas of Canada) but my partner, his family, our franophone friends and people in society will like pronounce it the French way.
What are people’s views on the best spelling?
I was thinking Viviane but I see the other variations are more common,
