Little sister to Tabitha.

I like Genevieve but we nixed it from our list because I know it wouldn't always be pronounced as I would want it to be (the correct, French pronunciation). She would end up as Jenner-veev.

Genevieve!

Primrose
Genevieve

Virginia

Primrose, gorgeous!

Genevieve. Would definitely have been on my shortlist for a girl, such a lovely timeless name. Less keen on the others.

MummyBeerest · 21/08/2013 18:42

Genevieve

SantanaLopez · 21/08/2013 18:40

Genevieve.

Don't use Virginia. She will not thank you for it.

Fraxinus · 21/08/2013 18:36

Primrose is awful. The others might be ok, i guess you have picked them because they are not too frilly for your circle.

Rhubarbgarden · 21/08/2013 18:00

I love Primrose. The others are too long.

Genevieve

Or Virginia nn Ginny

DontWorryBaby · 21/08/2013 17:56

Genevieve!

forevergreek · 21/08/2013 17:53

Genevieve- but how will you pronounce? May get confusion. 'gen- eh- veve' or ' Jon- a- ve-a' ( with a soft j/g)

LynetteScavo · 21/08/2013 17:43

Genevieve.

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 21/08/2013 17:40

Genevieve, without question

squoosh · 21/08/2013 17:39

Anything but Virginia! Genevieve is infinitely superior to Primrose though.

Also going to say Genevieve - it goes beautifully with Tabitha.

ViviDeBeauvoir · 21/08/2013 17:31

Definitely Genevieve! with Vivi as a NN

meditrina · 21/08/2013 17:30

Genevieve
