I just watched a movie where they named the baby in it, Genevieve. What do you think of the name?

I like it. It's better than Jennifer and other Jen/Gen names.

I've always liked the name; my first best friend's name was Genevieve and we calledI her Genny. I think it's very pretty.

I've always loved that name. For some reason, it reminds me of medieval times.

I love the name Genevieve!

I worked with a grandmother named Genevieve. We called her Jenny.

don't like it.
at all.

I absolutely adore it, though it occasionally makes me think of Madeline's dog.

YES! I always think of Madeline!

I'm not really a fan though :(

I think Genevieve is really nice and there are lots of nn that can be used.

i like it, but i like it especially if its pronounced the french way (jen-uh-vee-ahv)

One of my favorite names EVER and I would definitely use it!

i love it and would def use it...but its my cousins name

we usually call her Genevieve or just Gen.

I love it, but I don't know if I would ever use it just because I don't like the nn's Gen or Genny very much and I know people would try to call her that.

oh and p.s. was it the lifetime movie with the boy from Little Miss Sunshine?? haha because that's what movie Genevieve reminds me of.

Were you watching Le Divorce?

I like the name, but I hate its nicknames: Jen/Gen, Jenny/Genny. I wish it could stay on its own but it's far too long for that. Maybe Ginny? I like that one, though it has Harry Potter written all over it.

I love Genevieve nn Ginny.

I tend to prefer Genevie (without the vive at the end) I had a friend with that name & I always thought it flowed a little better. Her nn was Vie.

I've always loved Genevieve, it's on my list too. I'd use Genny as a nn.

I like it.

I seem to always see/hear it in my head pronounced as zhahn-vee-evv, though, and that seems pretentious/very few others would see it like that. It was my name in French class in high school.

I like it jenn-uhh-veev though too. :)

I like it said either way, but prefer the French "Zhahn-vee-ev."

i like the french pronunciation, not the anglicised versison.

although i'm confused as to why people are thinking it's a weird Z sound.... 0_o
