Can those who like it tell me why (im really trying to be sold on it)
And also if you dont like it tell me why!
For me whats holding me back is that its such an old name that it sometimes feels like its lost its charm, like with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], and also the lack of good nicknames. Not a fan of [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Gen[/name_f], unfortunately
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is kind of nice - I think itās strong but sweet, elegant, sleek and melodic. The thing that draws me away from it is the fact I feel it ends a little abruptly.
[name_f]Neve[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] could be alternatives nn
I wouldnāt try and force it though if your not a big fan
Like you, Iām on the fence about [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. In general I like old names that arenāt overused, but somehow it feels unfinished and a little inelegant. I also think it sounds better than it looks. I canāt think of any nicknames I like, except maybe [name_f]Veva[/name_f], but thatās a bit of a stretch.
If you dont like [name_f]Evie[/name_f] or [name_f]Gen[/name_f] as nicknames, how about
[name_f]Vivi[/name_f]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Genna[/name_f]
[name_f]Gigi[/name_f]
[name_f]Viva[/name_f]
I love, love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and I like it with the [name_m]French[/name_m] accent, GeneviĆØve, even more. My nickname of choice would be Vive, which means āto liveā in [name_m]French[/name_m] (as in 'Vive la [name_f]France[/name_f]"). If youāre a fan of [name_u]Paris[/name_u], GeneviĆØve is the patron saint of the city who is supposed to have saved it from the Huns. Her saintās day is in [name_u]January[/name_u], if youāre due then.
HOWEVER, despite all this, if you donāt love it as a name maybe you should go with a more firm favourite
I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and like the previous poster, Iām even more in love with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation.
Personally, Iām not a nickname kind of lady, so if I named a daughter [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], thatās what we would call her; why give a girl such a gorgeous name and not use it full time?
Yes Iāve seen quite a few people be on the fence about it because of the nicknames possibilities. I think theyāre inevitable though, especially when it comes to longer names, so itās worth to consider that haha
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] and [name_u]Ever[/name_u].
[name_u]Ever[/name_u] seems a bit of a stretch though but it would make a lovely nn in my opinion
