Not pregnant or ttc but loving this name at the moment. Is it a bit too much for a non French child? Any opinions please!

Like it v much. Never heard of the film mentioned below though ( I was born in the 70s)

DD (9years) has a friend at school called Genevieve - it suits her. I like it though don't think I would use it myself.

Genevieve was a 1960s film involving some sort of car race - London to Brighton? The car was called Genevieve. Lots of people will immediately think of the film. It is a nice name, though.

I love it.

am going to disagree -think it's a bit of a mouthful for a little girl, and the speeling will always be tricky?

i love it. I'd shorten it to Evie maybe

AitchTwoOh · 06/08/2009 10:33

i love it, but dp wasn't for it, because of the Jennie, Gennie thing.

LionstarBigPants · 06/08/2009 10:28
