What do you think? I’ve always loved it and hubby seems to be on board for forthcoming DD.... but now I’m having a wobble (a self-confessed over thinker, so would have happened with any name!). Is it a bit marmite? Frumpy? old-fashioned? Or (my thoughts on a good day) feminine, elegant and not over-used or faddy?!

FWIW I know it would get shortened. Actively want a name that can be - I like having flexibility with my sons’ names and I like all possible nns for Genevieve (prefer Evie/ Vievie/ Viva but don’t hate other variants)

I don’t need new suggestions, but views on other names on shortlist also welcome:
Grace (have always loved but know it’s a bit boring)
Isabel (pretty but probably too popular)
Imogen (love Immy but find Imogen a bit clunky to say)
Calista (like but may be too unusual for us)
Stella (like this but lack of nn is an issue for me)

Shock the lager never occurred to me. Good job I didn't have a daughter Grin
