Genevieve

ViviDeBeauvoir · 21/08/2013 17:31

Definitely Genevieve! with Vivi as a NN

ElleCloughie · 21/08/2013 17:37

Also going to say Genevieve - it goes beautifully with Tabitha.

squoosh · 21/08/2013 17:39

Anything but Virginia! Genevieve is infinitely superior to Primrose though.

Genevieve, without question

LynetteScavo · 21/08/2013 17:43

Genevieve. Smile

Genevieve- but how will you pronounce? May get confusion. 'gen- eh- veve' or ' Jon- a- ve-a' ( with a soft j/g)

DontWorryBaby · 21/08/2013 17:56

Genevieve!

Bowlersarm · 21/08/2013 17:57

Genevieve

Or Virginia nn Ginny

Rhubarbgarden · 21/08/2013 18:00

I love Primrose. The others are too long.

Fraxinus · 21/08/2013 18:36

Primrose is awful. The others might be ok, i guess you have picked them because they are not too frilly for your circle.

SantanaLopez · 21/08/2013 18:40

Genevieve.

Don't use Virginia. She will not thank you for it.

MummyBeerest · 21/08/2013 18:42

Genevieve

donttellalfred · 21/08/2013 18:43

Genevieve. Would definitely have been on my shortlist for a girl, such a lovely timeless name. Less keen on the others.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 21/08/2013 19:05

Primrose, gorgeous!

MarianneBrandon · 21/08/2013 22:00

Primrose
Genevieve

Virginia

CormoranStrike · 21/08/2013 22:05

Genevieve!

TobyLerone · 21/08/2013 22:11

I like Genevieve but we nixed it from our list because I know it wouldn't always be pronounced as I would want it to be (the correct, French pronunciation). She would end up as Jenner-veev.

georgettemagritte · 22/08/2013 02:51

Genevieve

Allalonenow · 22/08/2013 03:00

Genevieve is beautiful.

kiwik · 22/08/2013 03:01

I love Primrose, and I know a Tabitha who almost had a younger sister Primrose (she ended up a Marigold in the end after a few days of Primrose).
Not keen on Virginia at all, and don't like the pronounciation confusion that is possible with Genevieve.

OrangeBlossom2 · 22/08/2013 07:21

Genevieve for me too, not Virginia, just imagining the 'are you are virgin' comments all through secondary school.

noodlebum · 22/08/2013 12:18

Genevieve is my favourite, then Primrose. Not a fan of Virginia though.

squoosh · 22/08/2013 12:34

I think it would be unkind to name a child Virginia, the teasing would be inevitable.

HarumScarum · 22/08/2013 12:48

Definitely Genevieve (I also have a Tabitha).
