Genevieve

[endofthelinefinally]

Baby will be half French, half English.
Is Genevieve horribly outdated in France now?
I like it but I am not French.

I'd be using it myself, but DM hates the English pronunciation and we live in England (she is French). I think I actually prefer the English pronunciation. I wouldn't worry about different pronunciation in the different languages, all my kids respond to both.

Gorgeous name!

I love it, both pronunciations.

I love it with nn Ginny

I love it. It's my daughter's middle name. It would have been her first name but we fell in love with a Celtic name too and they work better this way round.

Really like it but what are the 2 pronunciations?

I think I'm french it's Jeh-neh-vee-ev, with a soft j sound at the beginning, and in English it's Jen-eh-veev.

*in French, not im French!

I love it.

I think it's a beautiful name. I know one who goes by Evie

Love it!

Love it. Wanted it for pfb but dh said it was a good name for a car
He was a boy so we called him something else instead.

Prefer the soft g, used in French if you are interested

Its on my list but DH can't say it let alone spell it bless him! he gets all tongue tied and ends up saying 'Geneneve'. Our surname begins with a G so I would use the nn 'Gigi'.

I live in France and the only Genevieve I know is 65... Think it would be considered old-fashioned but relatively classic.

Love it, will be my daughters middle name. (Would be first but DH won't budge)

Love it! It's my name. I'm English and go by Jenny. I get a lot of compliments on it. I didn't like it as a child because it was so different, I've only met 3 in my life and I'm 37. Noticed its slightly more popular today but still unusual.

I love it. We very nearly used it for DD but couldn't agree on the pronunciation so we went with Jennifer instead

French side have vetoed it as too old fashioned.
