What do you think of when you hear the names ...

[Lucylululu]

Genevieve, Alma, Margot, Liv, Eliza?

And do you have any strong negative opinions towards any of them? (Like do
you consider any of them to be too common/pretentious/ugly/anything)

Thanks!

Liv feels a bit unfinished.

I like Margot, Eliza and Genevieve.

Oh and I forgot to add Tessa to the list!

I know two Elizas. One is E-leez-a and the other is E-lize-a, I got them mixed up every time! So pronunciation may be an issue.

Love Margot and Liv.

Alma is nice actually, unusual but not wacky.

Genevieve also really nice.

Genevieve - a girl who is posh and spoilt, has no idea of the value of money and judges others harshly for being 'poor'

Alma - a tomboy whose best friends are all boys. She likes climbing trees and playing football at the park, has a quirky, colourful dress sense. Intelligent but hired it somewhat

Margot - has really pushy parents but just wants a quiet life. Does lots of extracurricular activities but would rather be at home reading a book. Very mothring of younger siblings

Liv - fiesty and fun loving, has a really sense of adventure, ibtelligent but not book smart, ambitious, aninal lover, wants to travel the world

Eliza - Liv's slightly more sensible best friend. Has a strong moral compass but likes to have fun. Adventerious but cautious. A thinker and planner

@17caterpillars1mouse what a wonderful answer! Loved reading that!

Tessa - fearful child who grows into an anxious adult. Likes to follow rules and is scared of breaking them, a people pleaser, puts others before herself and is unhappy but lives with it

Tess however would be friends with Liv and Eliza and be a little wild but very educated

Genevieve, Alma, Margot, Liv, Eliza, Tee - sextuplets i assume.

Genevieve has her head in the clouds, long hair, daydreams a lot, sweet and happy and a bit hippy as she gets older, flirty and lots of male friends
Alma I'd the plain sister, she's very serious and bossy, this doesn't change as she gets older. Short Brown curly hair. Doesn't every wasn't to get married.
Margot is the super smart one, glasses, says "actually..." alot. Hair in a bun, sensible frocks, doesn't really talk to boys as they're a distraction. Headed for Oxbridge.
Liv, the little whirlwind, she's super cute and gets away with a lot. She's always hanging out with the boys and demands to go to scouts not brownies
Eliza, the prettiest one, sweet and loving she looks after the rest, deal with boy troubles and bullies alike. She'll go on to have her own large family.
Tess, never home, always climbing a tree or looking for bugs. Prefers animals to people but generally an easy going child as long as she's not kept in for too long.

Genevieve grew up to be an environmental activist then an environmental consultant.
Alma is a high ranking PA but frustrated by her lack of power.
Margot is a top research scientist
Liv is bread of a large construction business
Eliza has gone into paediatric nursing but will take a long period out to have kids.
Tess works for the BBC on their new nature series, jetting all over the world to film newly discovered creatures

I like Margot and Eliza. Not keen on Liv, as it sounds like a nn for Olivia. Tessa, Alma and Genevieve - not sure.

Genevieve, Alma, Margot, Liv, Eliza...

Genevieve - long and romantic sounding with an abundance of Nickname possibilities.

Alma - short to the point, retro sounding.

Margot - lovely name, vintage style.

Liv - short with a good meaning, modern sound to it.

Eliza - Edwardian style name with a spunky sound.

Liv Eliza and Tessa are gorgeous. However I do take minty's point about Liv being unfinished. So I'd put full names on the BC
Elizabeth.
Olivia
Teresa.

I detest Margo. It makəs me think of Maggots.
Alma is awful and frumpy
Genevieve is too middle class for me.

Genevieve - I think "my sweet Genevieve". I also think "there's a name a child is going to have fun learning how to spell".

Alma - I think Coronation Street and Alma Pudden, the bullied fat girl from Malory Towers or St Clares

Margot - A lovely name, I might initially think of the Good Life but also Margot from Despicable Me and Margot Fonteyn. It sounds glamorous.

Liv -Pretty but ore of a nickname in my opinion, should be short for Olivia or something

Eliza - Again I would say this was short for Elizabeth. It sounds a but harsh to me, like a scullery maid in a Victorian novel.

Tessa - I actually think this is OK as a name on its own, despite my last two comments!

I like all of these names and have one of them on my list of names.

I have a family friend called Eliza Elizabeth but everyone calls her Lylie.

Lylie is a cute nn.

Alma means "apple". Liv seems like a nickname. Margot is a bit meh. For some reasons Genevieve conjures an image of somebody who would be very annoying! Eliza is pretty.

Genevieve- you are French
Alma- named after mother/ Grandmother/ Aunt
Margot, Liv, Eliza- new, popular names

Genevieve - a girl who was in a reality TV show about living through the 20th century. The only time I've ever heard of anyone called that name. It's nice though.

Alma - an obese character from Enid Blyton

Margot - old lady name, getting really popular again. Written down looks a little like 'Maggot'.

Liv - chicken liver pate

Eliza - Victorian servants name. Massively prefer Beth as a shortening of Elizabeth

I like Genevieve and Eliza.

Alma and Margot sound like old lady names that haven't become cool again yet - Alma sounds like a homely northern woman who makes good pies and Margot sounds like a very faux middle class woman who wafts around in a Kaftan arranging flowers.

Liv just sounds like a NN for Olivia.

Tessa is ok but a bit average (as a name I mean!)

Love Margot and Liv, although agree that Liv sounds as if it is short for something else eg Olivia.
Alma reminds me of Alma Pudden, an unlikeable girl who was at Malory Towers. Also not sure whether to pronounce it Al-ma, or Ol-ma. I think it sounds quite old fashioned, to me not in a good way.
Also get confused on the pronunciation of Eliza. I know an Ell-i-za and an Ell-ee-za and can never remember which is which.

I like Eliza the best Liv sounds alike the ending is missing the others sound very pretentious and like they are trying too hard. Margot was the posh one in the Good Life and Alma was a character in Coronation street in a similar vein.

I think of Alma Pudden too, and the Pont de l'Alma near where Princess Diana died

I love Eliza

They are all nice

I think Eliza and Margot, and probably Alma, are more ‘trendy right now’ revived names, whereas Genevieve and Tessa seem a bit less fashionable, more uncommon yet well known names.

Genevieve’s my favourite I think.

I forgot Liv - main association is Liv Tyler. I would assume it was short for Olivia/Livia.

Eliza is lovely
Liv is ok
Margot - The Good Life
Genevieve - a character from Mean Girls
Alma - old fashioned

I like them all.

My only issue with Genevieve would be 'how do the parents/this person pronounce the name'? Gen-ervive? Jenna-vive?Jean-vi-ev?

Alma is my least favourite, but has that old-lady chic a bit like Edith or Sylvia I think.
