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!

Genevieve (Eve).

Genevieve by a million miles. Beautiful, classy name in both English and French. Thousands of nickname potentials too.

I know children with both of these names, one gets called Ellie and the other Evie. I like them both 😊

Since I’ve outed myself already..those are my children’s names! Except they are just Eve and Eliana (Ellie). Both named after me and my late sister! Grin love this thread lol!

Genevieve! DH vetoed it so it’s a middle name for us but it’s beautiful

Eleanora for sure

Eleonora is too flouncy and people won't spell it correctly. I'm not wild about Genevieve, but it's OK, it could grow on me. I think you'll have to pronounce it the English way unless you've got French connections.

I definitely think the pronunciation will change from person to person and since most will probably be English speakers the English pronunciation will most likely be the most common
