Genevievr?

[Queazy]

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

I know a 7 year old Genevieve who is known as Gen. Lovely name

Love it. I know two - one in her 20s who is Gen. The other is 9 and known as Evie.
It's top of my list if I ever have another daughter.

I know a few - all called Gen which I dislike...Vivi/Vivvy is sweet though...

Not my favourote tbh as I always think it should be pronounced the "French way" and doesn't sound right pronouncing the English way which I'm assuming you will..

I like all your other names particularly Annabel😊.

I like the zhen-vee-ev way ! Would NN her Vivi

I like Annabel, Olivia and Imogen.

I love it but we couldn't agree on pronunciation so named DD Jennifer instead nn Jenny. Her big brother never forgave me and calls her genevieve anyway (zhen-vee-ev) so it has become his special name for his little sister which is quite sweet

I love it, especially pronounced "the French way".

I may be in the minority here, but I don't get the fascination of working out the nickname in advance. Maybe that's because my name is never shortened (except by small kids who can't pronounce it properly yet!). A nickname or diminutive is something I prefer to evolve in time.
Choose a name you like (love) ..... Don't try to predict the future.

(I still chuckle at the grown-up Alexandra I know ..... Who isn't an Alex or Ali, or even Lexi .... But Boo!)

I love this name, beautiful in its own right, whatever age you are, and short forms of Gen,, Genny and Eve. Absolutely lovely.

Thanks all I was thinking the English pronunciation, mainly because I honestly think most people won't get the French one 'right' (tho I respect it is!!). Plus, I love Gen or Genny. I was thinking Ginny as a nickname though. I know the nickname will be whatever her friends decide, but conscious my 2yo won't be able to pronounce either version so will need something easier to work with!!

Beatrix is still a front runner for me too though - I think it's just lovely

The Genevieve I know goes by Jen/ Gen. I love it. Also have always loved Imogen.

Love Genevieve. Definitely my favourite from your list.

King Arthur's one is Guinevere.
Genevieve is the only unusual name on your list, if that matters. And the best, IMO.
