I love this name but do you think it’s too long/overly complicated in the way it looks?

I wouldn’t say so!
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is such a pretty and elegant name without being complicated. I’ve always thought that [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] has such a fun sound
Also, [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] comes with lots of nicknames to balance out the longness! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], but you could also go with [name_f]Gennie[/name_f], [name_u]Gene[/name_u], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f], [name_f]Neve[/name_f] and more.
Not at all. I think its adorable and works for kids as well as adults. If you think its too long you could go for a nickname like [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] or [name_f]Vi[/name_f].
I don’t think so, but I have a friend named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] who prefers being called [name_f]Jen[/name_f] because of Genevieve’s length.
I don’t think so!!
The name “Amelia” is longer in syllables, and yet so popular! I personally find [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] a short name in comparison, and manageable in length.
Her nicknames are very sweet as well!! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Jenny[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], and [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]. 
I used to think so, but I don’t anymore. It’s one of my top names and has been for years now. 
I actually thought it was a bit frilly-princessy, but my sisters think it’s a strong ‘queen’ name. Fun fact - the owner of my house was this older lady, she was the architect, interior designer, garden designer and everything (she built it for sale). A really talented woman! 
She passed away about three years ago and his son sold us the property. I never knew her name til yesterday - Genevieve!!!
I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is a beautiful name, but I also think it is a bit complicated. Because of this, I prefer the simpler (and internationally inspired) [name_f]Geneva[/name_f].
Definitely not! There are thousands of Genevieves out there, and it’s currently in the SSA top 200.
Not at all! It’s a well-known name! It’s lovely
I think so yes. I have trouble saying and spelling it
I don’t think so - it’s a nice name
[name_f]My[/name_f] son has a student named [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], pronounced the [name_u]French[/name_u] way, as she is Creole. While I do prefer the [name_u]French[/name_u] pronunciation, [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is a lovely name with a long history. It’s not complicated at all.
It took me a little bit to remember how to spell it but I don’t think its too complicated to use. It also has a lot of really nice nicknames that could be a bit simpler for every day use.
I don’t think so! It’s a familiar name. I know at least two (maybe more that I’m not remembering), and it feels a special yet easy name.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is so gorgeous!
Honestly I absolutely love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] she’s romantic, elegant, visually attractive, has the lovely nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and was one of the many names I considered for my daughter.
However I found that for my family where my dad is dyslexic and I have relatives who are illiterate along with relatives who’s first language isn’t English/French the name was far too long/complicated. But this is just because of my family dynamic and I think it’s ‘complicated’ depends on whether your family/friends can grasp the name or not. Most people feel familiar with the name which indicates that they most likely would understand [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].
i dont think so at all !! i’ve known several, and it’s always seemed pretty normal. if people can manage jennifer, they can manage genevieve.

I don’t think so! I know two young Genevieves who wear it very well. It’s lovely to hear them spell it out and insist on [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] over Ginny/Evie/other nicknames

No it isn’t! Plus there are nicknames like Genny/Jenny, [name_u]Nev[/name_u], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Neva[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], Nevvy/Nevie/Nevi, [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f], Nené and Viev/Vieve
No, I don’t think it’s too long. It’s only three syllables and has plenty of nickname potential.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is lovely. I don’t think it’s too long or complicated.
