It's okay, but it does make me think of "¡Viva ___!" too much, that would stop me from considering it as a baby name.
I think I'd forget about that quickly if I knew a Viva. But if I didn't know her, I would tend to read her full name as ¡Viva Dorothea!
I don't think that should necessarily stop you from using it if you both like it, though. Lots of names coincide with words and phrases, and people just forget that, when they know it's someone's name.

Vivia would appeal to me more. Where I live, it'd be hard to get people to say it as VEE-vya though - they'd say VIV-ya. Hell, so would I.
