To me, it's like naming your kid "life" but trying to be cute and exotic. Don't like it.

I guess its okay, I would prefer it as a nn for Aviva though, and I too think of Viva Las Vegas.

...Las Vegas

parents love Elvis :)

It's what they call oral exams at university. My medic friends had to take vivas, and they stressed over them massively. So I don't have good associations with it as a name. Also, it's pronounced "VIE-vuh", but I have often heard it mispronounced "VEE-vuh", so there would be a lot of potential for people getting it wrong with a child's name too.

To me it's just a paper towel brand...

That's the brand of paper towels we buy, so I could never use it as a name.

Viva Las Vegas. I really don't think it's usable, maybe as a mn though. All connotations set aside, the name itself really isn't that bad.

I think it's so sweet. I really do love it!

Doesn't look like a real name to me. It means "alive" in Italian. I like Aviva and Vivian, though.

I like it, it's sweet and lively. It also means primrose in Swedish.

Prefer Aviva, Viveka, even Vivio, honestly. Viva is cute, but it's one that just doesn't really appeal to me.
