Genevievr?

[Queazy]

I'm due next Monday and can't decide on girls names. I like Genevieve but what would nickname be? Gen, Ginny or Viv????

Other front runners are:
Beatrix
Annabel
Imogen
Olivia

I get more undecided by the day....

Thanks all xx

[Queazy]

Post should say Genevieve

[Obloquy]

I really like Genevieve. You don't have to decide on a nickname right away, people will naturally shorted most names and you can just use whichever one sticks.

I like all your names but Genevieve most of all (although I am biased towards Olivia).

[JennaRoss]

I know one in her 20s. NNs Gen and Evie which are both sweet. Lovely name

[BigGreenOlives]

I know a lovely Genevieve in her mid 20s. She's sometimes known as Gen. It's a great name as it's well enough known to be familiar but not overly popular. In my dds school of over 700 girls there is only one.

[Scarletforya]

I love, love, love Genevieve.

The others don't come close imo.

[Thundercrackers]

Olivia is nice but beware- she would be one of about 5 in her class at school! I love genevieve (although my phone autocorrect just cannot cope with it!)

[EmpressOfTheVulvaCupcakes]

I like Genevieve too, and as Obloquy said the shortenings will come naturally!

[MissAlabamaWhitman]

I'm a Genevieve who goes by Gen.

Top of our list was Genevieve nn Evie
I had boys

[Peppapigallowsmetoshower]

Love it. Use it, I would but DH pulled a face, took a long pause and made a King Arthur reference before I huffed away....

[SarfEast1cated]

I wonder if you could use 'Neive' (sp?) as a nick name?

[Cantwaittillboxingday]

Beautiful name.

[WanderingTrolley1]

Beautiful.

[Cantwaittillboxingday]

Will it be pronounced with a 'J' or a 'Zh'?

[Raines100]

This is our choice for our (imaginary) DD2. She would be Genna/Jenna for short. Are you pronouncing it Jen-uh-veev or Zhun-vee-ev?

[imsorryiasked]

There is one Genevieve in DS class who is always known as Gennie. I guess most people assume she is called Jenny / Jennifer.

[TwoAndTwoEqualsChaos]

I love it but DH was put off because of the 1950's film ... I also like "Genevra", a version of the same name. I think it is a little more common on the Continent.

[Lizziedripping1]

My mums French friend is called Genevieve over there she pronounces it Gen-ev-eaeve

nn is Gigi

I think it's a lovely name

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

The teenage Genevieve I know is generally called Gee.

They are all nice names you have there.

[y0rkier0se]

Love love love Genevieve and I think Ginny is the cutest nickname!

[ditavonteesed]

My Genevieve is known as Genie, it did take her several years to learn to write her own name though.

[ditavonteesed]

also now wondering if IamsorryIasked is refering to my dd.

[cecilelliott]

Lovely name. We know one 5 year old who's known as Gigi

[scribblegirl]

Adore it. Would be on my list if my sister didn't have one of the names listed as v similar above!

[Sophronia]

Genevieve nn Vivi or Genny.
