These are quite classic but I think they’re lovely nonetheless.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleonore[/name_f]
Which one do you like best and why? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] could be used and still be able to avoid the nns [name_f]Gen[/name_f]/[name_f]Genny[/name_f]/[name_f]Genna[/name_f] or is it a lost cause?
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (spelt this way) is my favourite. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is lovely too but I think it would be very difficult to avoid [name_f]Gen[/name_f]/[name_f]Jenny[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] best! [name_f]Gen[/name_f] might come up and she might like it herself but if your constant in using her full name or another nickname, you might be able to avoid it
I did think about the most common spelling of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], but it just looks so incomplete to me. [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t know why, honestly!
So I gravitate towards [name_f]Eleanore[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f] a bit more when it comes to the spelling
My favorite is [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], and it could be possible to have most, if not all, people call her by her full name. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is also beautiful and classic, but has a lot of possible nicknames as well. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] also seems a lot less common to me (I know two Genevieves and no Elizabeths) but that depends on what you want from a name.
Well, I like quite long names with loads of nn possibilities.
For example, I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and would probably use [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] for nns
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is a bit tricky for me because I’m not quite fond of the [name_f]Gen[/name_f], [name_f]Genna[/name_f], [name_f]Genny[/name_f] nns
I only sort of like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
For [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanore[/name_f], I like [name_f]Elle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]. And [name_f]Lea[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f].
So yeah I quite like long names with nn possibilities
My favourite is [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f], although I prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] would be second, and I think you can definitely avoid those nicknames. I know a few Genevieves whose full names are predominantly used, and some use other nicknames occasionally like [name_f]Vivi[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! And I definitely think the nicknames are avoidable. …At least, I wouldn’t naturally call a [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] anything other than ‘[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]’.
But I think my favorite of your list is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]–truly classic. Not a fan of [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f], though, personally. (I prefer [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f] looks confusing to me.)
Yeah [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is definitely a classic and [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f] is just the [name_m]French[/name_m] variation. I’m quite used to it at this point haha
All three names are on my forever favourites list. My eldest daughter is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and name is almost always called in full. I must be peculiar, but I personally think if you give baby a very lovely name, why not use it. I totally dislike nn when the full name is there.
With my 5 children, we did give them pet names to be used occasionally within the family circle, but everyone else had to call them by their full names.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is my favorite. I think [name_f]Gen[/name_f] is a cute, quick nick-name to go by, and I would pick that because her name might be shortened despite any efforts otherwise.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is my second fave. I prefer this spelling, but both are lovely. [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] would be a good nn pick.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is of course, timeless, but a bit tiresome imo. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f] are adorable nicknames.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is gorgeous! I think [name_f]Gen[/name_f] is avoidable if you get in there early with an alternative, like [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivi[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f] (especially with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation: eh-LEH-oh-nore) but I think it will be mistaken for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] a lot.
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is a lovely classic with a ton of versatile nickname options. You cannot go wrong with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but it doesn’t really excite me.
