What do you think of the sibset Geneva and Augusta?

I saw a post the other day regarding Geneva, and it reminded me to post about my sister's choices--she's having twin girls in a month. I guess you could say our family is obsessed with children, and extremely fertile:  we recently had triplets, my sister-in-law will have a single birth in three months, and my sister will be having twins shortly.

I think the names go quite well together. They like the nicknames Eve and Auggie, though I think both names stand beautifully as is.

I love Augusta! It was my grandmother's name. She hated when ppl called her Auggie, and usually went by Augusta, but sometimes Gus or Gussie. :) Geneva is ok, but I really love the nn Eve. Gorgeous!

I love the names Geneva and especially Augusta. I think they sound lovely together and certainly don't require nicknames. Sorry, but Auggie is just horrible and Eve is boring. There is no need for substitutes when you have such beautiful names to begin with.

Congrats to your sister! :)

that's an interesting issue! :)
Geneva is quite easy to shout, Augusta maybe not so much

I like Geneva, but only because of the nicknames Gen/Jen and Evie.

I don't like Augusta, but I like August for a boy.

I think they pair well, although I don't fancy either.

I don't love the names but they make a very nice sibset.

I don't LOVE each name on its own, but together I really, really do! I still kind of hate your sister's nicknames though. >.< Someone above suggested Gus/Gussie for Augusta, though, and that's really cute!

I think Augusta is a little too old fashioned, but I love Geneva.
They go well together =)
