I’d forgotten about Vivi – guess I though it came from Bibiana or something. My first ever Spanish friend was Vivi when I lived in Figueres. I will be posting about nicknames for girls / women at some point.

There are a lot of “Vivis” everywhere too. That is the short form to call Victorias o Virtudes.

Yeah, it’s kind of nice. Makes me think of ‘alapca’ – a charming creature.

Jajaja! Es verdad, estoy aprendiendo más con ustedes de mi propia cultura y curiosidades que lo que puedo aprender por mi misma o en mi família. Tengo un hermano que se llama Francisco, le llamamos Paco.
