I don’t mind the history of [name]Guinevere[/name] and I think it’s very pretty, but I voted for [name]Genevieve[/name] because it’s just so beautiful! Definitely a favorite of mine.

They are both beautiful! I like [name]Genevieve[/name] a little more personally as sound goes, but voted for [name]Guinevere[/name] because she seems so much better matched to [name]Persephone[/name]. I don’t care too much about sibsets, but [name]Persephone[/name] and [name]Guinevere[/name] are both beautiful names from someone loaded myths, the sounds sound so nice together, and [name]Genevieve[/name] is so relatively mainstream in comparison and I find the long ee at the end of both mildly repetitive. And then there’s the Sephy/[name]Sophie[/name] thing against [name]Genevieve[/name]. You’ll be finely set for names either way. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the responses. I’m glad you both don’t mind the story of [name]Guinevere[/name]. I thought [name]Guinevere[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name] sounded great too :slight_smile:

Anyone else?

Oh wow. I love both of these names a LOT… I voted for [name]Guinevere[/name] only because I think it’s a slightly better match with [name]Persephone[/name], style wise. Either one is fabulous.

I like them both, but [name]Genevieve[/name] feels a bit standard, I see it A LOT on naming boards. [name]Guinevere[/name] would be stunning.

Thanks so much you 2. I love all the love [name]Guinevere[/name] is getting :slight_smile:

I think the are both very pretty I just prefer [name]Genevieve[/name] over [name]Guinevere[/name]. I do love the nickname [name]Gwen[/name] but my personal preference way to get to it would be [name]Gwendolyn[/name].

Thanks. I don’t really like [name]Gwendolyn[/name]…I don’t know why.

I wish the boys version of this was getting this much attention: Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums

I really love [name]Genevieve[/name], its so sweet. I like [name]Guinevere[/name] too, just not as much as [name]Genevieve[/name].

Thanks for responding. [name]Genevieve[/name] is winning right now.

Anyone else?

I voted for [name]Genevieve[/name] just because I feel like she has more spunk to her. [name]Guinevere[/name] just feels heavy to me.

I voted [name]Genevieve[/name] because I love the nn’s genny , and evie. [name]Both[/name] are equally pretty though…perhaps combine the two guinevieve

I’d love it if you explained why it feels heavy if you can. I’m just curious :slight_smile: I’d love to hear the negatives as well as positives.

@ nay-han – eh really hate [name]Genny[/name]! And I kind of hate most smoosh names too to [name]Guinevieve[/name] makes me cringe. Sorry!

I chose [name]Genevieve[/name], just because I like the sound of it more, and I [name]ADORE[/name] [name]Evie[/name] as a nn. It feels like a name that works equally well on a girly girl or a tomboy or a scholar. [name]Guinevere[/name] is lovely, it just feels to me like a lot of name for a young girl. I picture that name on someone who never has a hair out of place and is always perfectly put together, very regal-like.

Thanks for commenting! I adore [name]Evie[/name] too, my husband just kind of hates it won’t use it. Sigh If [name]Genevieve[/name] whens then I’ll have to try harder to convince him on [name]Evie[/name].

[name]Genevieve[/name] won for me! While I respect [name]Guinevere[/name] as a name, it’s just way too over-the-top for me. Besides, I’m a sucker for [name]Evie[/name]. :slight_smile: If you were going for [name]Guinevere[/name], I think you need something a bit simpler than [name]Sophia[/name] [name]Signe[/name] for MNs.

Thanks for your opinion [name]Ash[/name], I really value it. I wonder why [name]Persephone[/name] is a name a bunch of you like, but [name]Guinevere[/name] is over the top?

Anyone else wanna weigh in?

This was a hard choice, because I really don’t care for either of these names. I’m not sure why; there’s nothing wrong with them, and the [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] reference doesn’t bother me that much; they’re just not my style. But I think [name]Guinevere[/name] is prettier, so it got my vote. [name]Guinevere[/name] would also remove the nickname issue.
I think I would prefer [name]Genevra[/name] or [name]Ginevra[/name].
Best wishes!

For me personally I like Gevevieve better. I voted for [name]Guinevere[/name] for you just because i think it goes better with your sibsets and is slightly more unusual that [name]Genevieve[/name].
