Working on my list and seriously revisiting [name]Genevieve[/name]. We passed it over when I was pregnant with DS, but all of a sudden I’m in love! What do you think of when you hear [name]Genevieve[/name]? NNs I like are [name]Evie[/name] and [name]Vivi[/name].
DS is [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Flynn[/name]. [name]Do[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] sound okay for a sibset?
Also, I am realizing how difficult [name]Genevieve[/name] is to pair with a middle name. [name]Jane[/name] is a family name, but is the sound too similar to the [name]Gen[/name] in [name]Genevieve[/name]? Please suggest possible middle names! DH hates [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Louise[/name]/[name]Louisa[/name] :???:
I love [name]Genevieve[/name]. I think [name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] would be nice together. [name]Genevieve[/name] is a hard name to pair with a middle name. I do like [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Claire[/name], too bad your husband doesnt like it. I think [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] sounds nice.
I was thinking maybe
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
This is one of my favorite girl names. I love both popular pronunciations, but I think I prefer the French. I want to use this name so badly I can taste it, but unfortunately DH and I had a friend in high school named Genevieve, and while we are no longer in touch with her, he thinks it’s weird to use her name.
Genevieve and Ezra are really, really lovely together! I agree that the sounds in Genevieve and Jane are a little too similar to work together. Any other family names?
Some combos I have considered:
Genevieve Kelly
Genevieve Hazel
Genevieve Frances
Genevieve Lily
Genevieve Fay/Faye
Genevieve Pearl
Genevieve Mae
Genevieve Fern
Other family names (none of them are great with [name]Genevieve[/name])
[name]Jane[/name]
[name]Louise[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Marie[/name] (I would like to avoid this. I know of a [name]Marie[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] in our area)
DH suggested [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Elise[/name]. I don’t hate it, but I don’t [name]LOVE[/name] it. Then again, I didn’t love [name]Ezra[/name]'s mn until he was here. I am so indecisive when it comes to this!
I was worried about them running together as well. Thanks for the confirmation! [name]Anna[/name] is okay.
We have a 3-syllable Italian last name that is something of a mouthful. It starts with a T and ends in -li (lee). I would like to stick to shorter middle names to prevent a jumbled mess.
I think of my adorable three year old, [name]Genevieve[/name] Ralene. She has my middle name. I absolutely love her name. More than her older sister’s name—[name]Lillian[/name] [name]Paige[/name]. Although, [name]Genevieve[/name] & [name]Lillian[/name] are beautiful together. My current issue is finding a name for their little sister due in [name]April[/name]!
I love it. We have talked about it as well. I couldn’t use the nickname [name]Genny[/name], as we have a [name]Ginny[/name] ([name]Virginia[/name]), but [name]Evie[/name] is cute! So is [name]Vivi[/name].
I’m biased, but I love [name]Genevieve[/name]! Though it’s quite a bit longer than [name]Ezra[/name], I think they’re really lovely together. [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is nice but fairly awkward, I see what you’re saying. [name]How[/name] about adding another middle to break things up? Would your husband consider [name]Clara[/name]? I think [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Clara[/name], or [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Jane[/name] would be lovely. I agree that [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Anna[/name] would be cute too.
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kate[/name] is really sweet! I know the most lovely young woman with the name, i had never heard it before her! I would use it butit would be weird because we’re not particularly close (more acquantances who share common friends) but close enough that people might ask are you naming her after [name]Gen[/name]? lol!
She pronounces it [name]Jen[/name]-a-veev i didnt know there is another way to say it?
I saw a thread on here once whre not many people liked it and i was like whaaaat? but now i’m seeing love i am happy! hehe
[name]Love[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]! What about [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name]? Then you have the option of [name]GiGi[/name] as a nickname.
[name]LOVE[/name] the suggestions of [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kate[/name] and [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Bell/name! Sounds so spunky for a little one and so elegant for an adult, which I love! I really want something that ages well.
Despite telling me earlier he disliked [name]Claire[/name], DH brought up [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Claire[/name] tonight as if it were his idea. He has no memory at all of the conversation lol! So [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is back in the running!
[name]Love[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]! I’ve been revisiting it lately, too, and I also love the nns [name]Evie[/name] and [name]Vivi[/name]! I think it’d be adorable with [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Flynn[/name].
I find it very hard to pair up, too, but I’ve tossed around:
I literally suggested [name]Winter[/name] to DH a few moments ago! He’s really surprising me with how easy to please he is being. I’m sure it will all be out the window when there’s actually a baby to name
I also love [name]Lucy[/name] & [name]Elora[/name], but DH has already shot me down on those numerous times
I love [name]Genevieve[/name]! We seriously considered it for our little one to get the nickname [name]Evie[/name], but we went with [name]Evangeline[/name] instead. I love the MN [name]Claire[/name] with it (sorry DH doesn’t!) as well as [name]Kate[/name]. Something with one syllable would work best, I think. [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] from previous posters are very nice.
