Well...

Not where I live. ;-) In Germany nobody would ever pronounce Geneviève: gen-uh-VEEV. They would all use the French pronounciation of it. They're our neighbours! *lol* But I think I wouldn't use it anway, for therey are names that I like much more than Geneviève...! ;-) But you're right about Mireille though.

It's great you like Reed/Reid, too! I really don't know which spelling I would prefere, Reed or Reid. :-P I like bothe very much! *g* Oh, and actually I have to admit that I have no clue how to pronounce Eir...! xD I'd probably pronounce it like the English word 'air' or porribly EER. No really, I have no idea at all. But I even loved how it looks so I hope the pronounciation will be equally nice. *lol*
