Genevieve?

I know Gen / Jen is an obvious one but is that it?

The Genevieve I know is Gen. Gen suits her. Genevieve, not so much.

BrokenBattleDroid · 09/01/2018 16:32

I knew of a baby Genevieve referred to as Genie, as in the Genie and the lamp.

ditavonteesed · 09/01/2018 16:35

My own personal Genevieve is Genie

MrsXx4 · 09/01/2018 16:36

Oooh thanks. I like Ginny and Genna. I also like Gee.

Also everyone we meets says how much they love her name.

gingerclementine · 09/01/2018 16:37

Gen, Genna, Genny, Genie, Ginny, Gina, Viv, Vivi

MrsXx4 · 09/01/2018 16:41

@ditavonteesed its my all time favourite name. We are still TTC but its our top girl name and has been for many years now. Not many names go well with our surname but this sounds lovely together with it.

DH was asking what we could shorten it too and I honestly didn't know as I have never known anyone in my life with this name.

I know a Genevieve that goes by Jenny

lovelyjubilly · 09/01/2018 18:20

The Genevieve that I know doesn't shorten it. Everyone calls her Genevieve.

SnapesTears · 09/01/2018 19:27

Generally my name doesn’t get shortened, but I have been called Jan and Jay by a few people who got away with it!

Justwaitingforaline · 09/01/2018 19:37

The genevieve I know gets shortened to Fi or FiFi
