I was reading Warbreaker the other day and I thought Vivenna was a nice name. It seems pretty and usable. It isn't common, but it doesn't sound crazy or unheard-of. As far as I know it doesn't have much of a history (just Viv + the suffix enna) but it doens't seem like a mashup-- it sounds and looks 'natural'. I think it has a classic vibe even though it's not strictly a classic name, if that makes sense. I think it sounds young but mature (sort of young-adultish, I guess).
I'm pronouncing it vee-VENN-a but I think it can also have a "vihv" at the beginning, more like the Viv in
Vivian.
So... how would you pronounce it? Do you like it? Have you met any? Does it sound mature?
Young? Old? Modern? Classic? Contrived? Too much like Vienna? Any combos?
