Thinking of a girls name is exceptionally hard for me!!! This is my latest thought but dh not convinced- does it just make you think of princesses genie? I like that it's quite strong and could be ahortened to Ginny. Honest opinions welcome!! Thank you!!

I really can't believe anyone could be so idiotic as to assume the OP meant eugenic.

Not all that keen on Eugenie.

Thunder

Nah, it's funny

What do you think of my names?

TrojanWhore · 24/07/2015 13:22

A classic example of why people should to RTFT!

Or in this case, the first three posts, but which time OP had a) explained which name she actually meant and b) apologised profusely for the auto-correct

I think "Eugenique" is prettier for a girl

Runs

Yarp · 24/07/2015 13:21

Ooops!

I agree- maybe don't choose Eugenie if autocorrect can bugger it up so comprehensively Grin

Also, Beatrice and Eugenie - those two useless offspring of a useless pair of Royals?

What about:

Genevieve - could be Ginny too?
Juliet
Julia
Elodie

SylvanianCaliphate · 24/07/2015 13:20

Probably best to avoid the name too as the correction clearly boils blood Grin

Floggingmolly · 24/07/2015 13:20

Eugenic is not a name. Eugenie or Eugene are names. There are millions of names out there; why pick a random word to use as a name??

exexpat · 24/07/2015 13:20

But I have to say that Eugenie always makes me think of eugenics anyway. Or that princess. Neither particularly good associations to have, IMO.
