Isn't Viviana an old (as in a Roman saint's name) and not terribly uncommon name? It's been in the top 500 in the US, though I don't know how common that actually makes it but it was more popular last year than Susan for example. My cousin's named the Finnish variant of that, Viivi. It was also the name of an early Finnish female architect who changed her name to Wivi as Germans pronounced Vivi as Fifi and she didn't like that.

I had never heard of it before!  I thought I made it up to mean Lively One Loved By God

I have a customer who is in her mid thirties, that's her name.   

A quick facebook search reveals it's not a common name, but it's been around for a while.  It generally means Vibrant, and full of life.

I know a woman in my city named Viviana.  I've always thought it was a very pretty name.

in Jr high I knew a set of twin girls named Rochelle and Rachelle. They were called Ro (ROE) and Ra (RAY)

also, when my little brother was born, in 1992, Dad wanted to name him Hannibal Wolfe.
Our last name had a first name inside it, think Johnson. So, Mom wanted to name lil brother John Johnson.

I've always been fond of it. It reminds me of Arthurian Legend--Viviane is one of the names for the Lady of the Lake.

I once knew a girl called Kestrel. She'd be about 21 now.

I prefer bird names to booze names.  JMHO.

I know Brandi is a well established name and many people like it (I have nothing against it), but the first time I heard it I was 8 years old and I pondered very hard on the reasons her parents name her after a drink, and an alcoholic one at that.  I wondered why and what were they thinking, and does being named after a drink make you more exotic and exciting?  Because to me such a strange strange choice must make her a very mysterious girl.

I stopped off to get petrol and discovered the attendant I got (we're not allowed to pump our own gas where I live) was named (according to his nametag) "Excellent".
