I like Bea but not Beatrice, I'm not a fan of the "ear" sound in it for some reason.

I'd choose Vivienne personally, although on the flip side I don't like Viv!

 

[MUMOF5]

Beatrice and Florence sound beautiful together

 

[noon_child]

Beatrice.

You've already got an "an" sound at the end of Vivienne so it is hard to say Vivienne Ann without sounding a bit stuttery.

 

[GeralynB]

Vivienne is pretty

I adore both but Beatrice is my favourite. Love Baby Bea. But I prefer Beatrix to Beatrice.

 

[bellaboo]

Agree love Bea as a nn but not Viv. I thought the same about it being to much as Vivienne Ann

Ooh I love both! I can't choose. Wow, most unhelpful response ever

I adore both but Beatrice is my favourite. Love Baby Bea. But I prefer Beatrix to Beatrice.

My niece is Beatrix and she gets Baby Bea! It's sooooo cute!

OP I adore both names you have good taste! I probably prefer Vivienne as a full name but don't like Viv. Also it doesn't go as well with Ann. So I would choose Beatrice as it has lots of lovely shortened versions (Bea, Beattie) and goes well with Ann xx

Love Beatrice and Florence. You have excellent taste.

 

[RubyRainbows]

Vivienne is so pretty!

 

[Leesy]

Love Beatrice! I have an aunt called that and she's always been Aunt Bea. It's a lovely name. Great taste in names!
