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

Beautiful name.

SarfEast1cated · 24/12/2015 07:32

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

Peppapigallowsmetoshower · 24/12/2015 07:32

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....

Top of our list was Genevieve nn Evie
I had boys

MissAlabamaWhitman · 24/12/2015 07:25

I'm a Genevieve who goes by Gen.

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

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!)

Scarletforya · 24/12/2015 06:13

I love, love, love Genevieve.

The others don't come close imo.

BigGreenOlives · 24/12/2015 06:10

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.

JennaRoss · 24/12/2015 05:19

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

Obloquy · 24/12/2015 04:51

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).
