"Vī" is a fun name, especially when very young - young friends called be "Vī-Vi" ... And oh so fun when saying, "hi Vī" or "bye Vi". Lots of laughs ... The name connotes friendliness and approachability.
As an adult, my name has always served as a point of interest/ conversation to those whom I have met (...can only recall one woman attempting to use my name as means to insult)
I cherish my "old-fashioned" name
