My impression is that she's named after grandmothers, regardless of whether that's actually the case. It's ok/respectable, but I think Viviana seems younger, and I feel like Vivienne is more fun or kinder (while Vivian is spikier). I do like the meaning and the lady of the lake connection.Dustin seems really trendy/dated next to Vivian and Catherine.

I've never liked the name Vivian, it has a slithery, unpleasant sound like cheap synthetic fabric. Vivian Joyce just feels elderly.Dustin doesn't sound like the brother of a Vivian and a Katherine. Dustin is very eighties to me.

Nice name combo, not something I would personally pick however.

It's good and goes with Catherine, I like Vivienne Joy better

I think Dustin is the odd one out here - he seems a bit too modern compared to his sisters I think Vivian Joyce is a good name overall. Not a fan of Joyce but I can see the appeal

She likes -n endings!I once knew a Vivienne Joy. Vivian is male to me, Vivienne is unnecessarily French, and I prefer Joy to Joyce; Vivien Joy would have delighted me.

Vivian is lovely and Joyce is good too but they don’t seem to go together.
