[Opinions] Re: Vivian/Harper
in reply to a message by hannah
Vivian: a smart, well mannered, handsome man. More intellectual than sensual. Witty. Maybe a bit vain. Viv, Van, or Vee, if any nickname
(I'd spell it Vivien on a girl, like Vivien Leigh ~ who has made it a name for a beautiful, Scarlett-like spoiled brat in my mind; nn Vive [veeve] or Vivie [vih-vee])
Harper: I imagine a young man, creative, gentle, capable but unreliable, neither unattractive nor striking. Could be ruthless, or paternal.
Harper on a female: I'd picture a sheltered, gentle, frustrated, pretty young blonde woman, insecure, talented and well liked, but won't find true happiness till after her youth has left her.
On either sex Harper doesn't lend itself to nicknames. Someone would have to bestow one that wasn't based on Harper.
