Genifique? Love, Like, Hate?

Give me your thoughts, what kind of a person would have this name?

Note I am a name nerd, I have a huge list of awesome nameberry approved names you can find here- Vote on Name Lists at BabyNames.com

and I would never use Genifique myself, but as a namenerd I just wanted to gage everyone’s reactions.

Thank you,

I’m not exactly sure how to pronounce it. I think its [name]JEN[/name]-IH-FEEK, so I’ll rate it based on that. Honestly, it sounds very made-up and I’m not a fan at all. [name]Genevieve[/name] & [name]Guinevere[/name] are much, much prettier in my opinion. If you like it go for it, though. As for what kind of person would have this name…well, it depends on their personality so it’s hard to judge.

Oh, I would never use it, I’m a name nerd and I figured the opinions would be varied! :slight_smile:

Where on earth did you find ‘Genifique’?? It sounds nothing like a name. It also reminds me of French: ‘magnifique, fantastique, genifique!’ Sorry, but I really don’t like this ‘name’.

Not a fan either- sounds like someone mispronouncing [name]Genevieve[/name]. Sorry!

wow… i think i’d rather my kid be named the number one name in the country rather then Genifique. Is that bad? :-/

Let’s keep an open mind here, people…

I actually don’t have a problem with it. As newly invented names go, it has some pizazz. I would prefer [name]Veronique[/name] (my kindergarten French teacher’s name!) or [name]Genevieve[/name] instead, but I understand that some parents want truly unique names for their children and feel driven to coin new ones. So be it.
