Which baby name?

[Blueroses4]

Just trying to see what you guys think of these:

Eleonora or Genevieve.

Im told Eleonora is an italian variation and Genevieve is french. Although that isnt really why I picked these, I just really like them.

Im having trouble picking between them, I just keep going back and forth. Which one do you like best and why?

thanks!

Love Eleanora so much nicer than Eleanor though i also like Eleanore

Eleanora by a long way

Both are really lovely

haha thanks but I can only pick one!

I prefer Geneveive, great nicknames - Genny or Genie, Vivi.
Don't like Eleanora, I like Eleanor.

Genevieve is so gorgeous, and was on our list.

The problem that I have though, is that I only love the French pronounciation ‘jhonvee-ev,’ but cannot stand the typical British pronounciation, ‘Jen-e-veeve.’ We tested the name - wrote it down and had family and friends pronounce it, and every time it was ‘Jen-e-veeve.’
For this reason, we decided we just couldn’t take the risk, and erased it from our list.

@Argeles, thats a shame :/

In my case, I actually like both pronunciations. Only downside would be the very common Jen,Jenna,Jenny nicknames that I really dislike.

Genevieve, but both are beautiful

Eleonora definitely! Lovely name.

Geneviève only sounds nice in French! It sounds awful in English imo.

@Blueroses4

That’s great that you like both pronounciations. I mentioned it in case you hadn’t taken it into consideration.

@Argeles No I understood, no worries. I appreciated it! :)

I prefer Genevieve - a lovely name! I do like Eleanora but prefer Eleanor.

Both are lovely. Just pick the one your baby looks like the most.

I prefer Leonora tbh or Eleanor.

Genevieve would be my choice

Eleanora.

Eleanora!

Genevieve

Don't like either of them.

Love them both! Although prefer Genevieve slightly more. Nora is a lovely nickname though x

Genevieve

I prefer Genevieve and I prefer the English pronunciation. It’s really fresh and interesting. Eleanora is pretty but I know so many Eleanors that it would put me off a bit.

Genevieve is lovely. I like Eleonora too but I think a lot of people will spell it Eleanora (going by most of the previous posts!)

Genevieve is gorgeous, it's been on my list for a while. The only one I know of is shortened to Viva so that's a possibility (or Vivi) if you dislike Jen nicknames

Genevieve for me, I don't mind the English pronunciation.

Eleonora just seems to have one syllable too many. Also she might get the hideous Nora as a diminutive, which puts me right off it.
