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!!

Um, is this a joke? If not, you may want to google eugenics. Did you mean Eugenie?

Ps ah... It's just autocorrected to Eugenic . Sorry op. Fwiw I like Eugenie!

SirChenjin · 24/07/2015 13:18

Glad you cleared that one up!

HazleNutt · 24/07/2015 13:18

Not a typo? Then it makes me think on Eugenics.

SylvanianCaliphate · 24/07/2015 13:18

I hope this is a typo or wind up.....

exexpat · 24/07/2015 13:18

I very much hope that is autocorrect for Eugenie.

Definition of eugenics (as favoured by the Nazis and others): eugenics.

noblegiraffe · 24/07/2015 13:18

I believe the Nazis were a fan.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/07/2015 13:18

Please god that's a typo for Eugenie?

SirChenjin · 24/07/2015 13:18

Do you mean Eugenie? Eugenic means something pretty horrific
