Both lovely, but Elizabeth gives you a wide range of nickname options. Genevieve often ends up as Gen...

Prefer Genevieve but as pp said I prefer the nicknames for Elizabeth - Libby, Betty, Betsy

Elizabeth

If you actively don’t like the nickname Genny then isn’t Genevieve a risk?

What if your DD choses it as her nickname?

I like them both. Lovely classic English names.

Genevieve nn Ginny

Elizabeth. I really don't understand the appeal of Genevieve. To me it's clunky, dated, is yet ANOTHER Evie name (which I'm so tired of) and has Gene at the beginning which makes me think of genetics. Each to their own though!

Genevieve

Genevieve for sure. So pretty

Eeevvvveee · 06/10/2018 05:05

Genevieve for a full name but prefer the nicknames for Elizabeth - so many lovely ones! So it's probably more of a tie!
