Help[Opinions] WDYTO Vivenna?
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?

It sounds to me like the writer couldn't decide between Vivian and Vienna, so it would be modern contrived. I'd say viv EN ah.

I'd pronounce it vihv-ee-EN-na. I think it could age well and it sounds really pretty. As far as sounding like Vienna goes, I think that's a wonderful association.

It's pretty, but I think it would be confused with Vienna, Vivienne, or Viviana. It's close enough to familiar names that it would probably throw a lot of people off.
Initially, I'd pronounce it vih-VENN-a.
As far as combos go, I like Vivenna Simone, Vivenna Laurel, Vivenna Laure, and Vivenna Delphine.
I've never met a Vivenna.
