Genevieve or Guinevere?

[JennyXO]

Which name do you prefer?

I would use fi fi as a nickname . Don't like Jenny even spelt geni !

Genevieve.

Why not use the British version, Jennifer?

Genevieve, but I also think people might shorten to Jenny which I don't like.

It’s the French pronunciation

i like Genevieve said either way.

Less keen on Guinevere, possibly because she always gets a hard time in the legends.

Gwendoline, Gwyneth both quite nice

Of the two names, I would pick Genevieve, it has a nicer sound. Guinevere, although it is interesting, unusual and literary, has quite a harsh sound and is so closely associated with the legend.

They're variants from the same name origin aren't they? As is Jennifer which I actually really like the most. People will trot out 'dated' for that though, as it was so popular a few decades ago, personally I think that's narrow minded. It's a lovely name and I like Jenny for short as well.

Jeune - vee - EV.

How else is Geneviève pronounced?

Je ne vee ev?

In English, usually Genevieve is jenna-veev.

Genevieve is lovely.

Genevieve sounds much nicer than Guinevere to my ears so definitely the former

Guinevere! My guilty pleasure name. Use it for all those of us who weren't brave enough to!

Guinevere is gorgeous! Genevieve might be easier to wear but im not keen on Gen. Guin is very cute though.

If I met a Guinevere I'd think 'where's Lancelot?' but I wouldn't say it of course.I prefer Genevieve (but in my mind, it's the name of a car from the old film of the same name.)

Ooo tough one. I prefer the full name Guinevere to Genevieve but I like that Genevieve is often shortened to Ginny.

We have a one year old Guinevere - call her Guinny or Guin :)

Guinevere - had green eyes.....

Lovely name
