sounds a bit airy-fairy Arthurian to me. wouldn't be my favourite.

Oh I do, it's fab!

I don't like it, sorry.

LynetteScavo · 23/08/2012 18:17

I love it.

I love it and wanted it for dd but when we mentioned it before she was born people pronounced it the French way (which is nice enough but not what we wanted).

I like it. It is bound to be shortened-as long as you realise it-fine.

Really love it. Know a gorgeous 3yo who is sometimes Genevieve and sometimes Vivi. Go for it.

Dreamingofsun - have we worked together?!

My name is Genevieve.. She'll spend her life spelling it and explaining no she's not French - but aside from that it's a good name. I liked it more and more as I grew up. Now shortened to Genna.

Love it!

dreamingofsun · 23/08/2012 17:49

Wasn't there a car film, Herbie-esque or something? With Genevieve as the car's name?

Glad it's not the first thing that sprang to your mind Grin

I'm not sure what car means in this context,but it's beautiful,and works well at any age. It's on my list to be used in future.
