Help[Opinions] WDYT of Viven?
WDYT of the name Viven (not Vivien) for a boy? It's family name that I just recently discovered. It spans over at least 3 generations and I'm really starting to like it.
I'm uncertain whether or not I would actually use it, but I do like the sound of it : )

It would get confused with Vivien a lot, like it was misspelled. That's what I first thought. I agree about using it as a middle name.

Use it as a middle name
I think it would be great to have such an uncommon family name as a mn.
But would it not sound too "feminine" as a fn? I have gathered that anything "feminine" is very bad for a boy in Anglo-Saxon culture.
I am sure that we all have both feminine and masculine sides, no need to be overly feminine if you're a girl or overly masculine if you're a boy. And "feminine" is just as good and strong as "masculine". But it seems people and certainly not children don't think so outside my world.
