[Opinions] Genevieve
WDYT of Genevieve nn Eva? I love Eva but it always seemed too short to be a full name, and I dislike Evelyn. I also dislike Eve, but that could be a nn for Genevieve as well. Do you prefer Eva or Genny as a nn?

Eva deffinately. I do like Genevieve even though it always, always reminds me of the dog in Madeline.
I prefer Eve or Evie.
I used to hate Genevieve, it sounded extremely bratty and ugly to me, but I've warmed up to it. Not enough to use it, but maybe enough to not recoil in horror when I see it, lol! I especially hate the super ugly French pronunciation of it, I think JENNA-veev sounds a million times prettier and smoother than the ugly JON-vee-EV. Yuck.
Eva is nice as a nickname, but honestly I think it's super gorgeous as a full name, much nicer than Genevieve any day. Nothing wrong with a short name. After all Ava is super popular and it's the same amount of letters. So is Amy and Ada.
I'd prefer Genny or Genna as a nickname to Genevieve.

I wholeheartedly DISagree
I've never heard anything quite as grotesque as JENNA-veev. It's butchering the way it's supposed to be pronounced; but I guess I just hate Anglicization anyways.

Honestly, I would just use Eva. I can't stand Genevieve because it sounds so bratty.
lol...funny
I dont think Genevieve need a nn at all... It just to pretty!
I definitely prefer Eva as a nn, but they would probably get called Eve a lot. Ginny would be good too, but Eva is still better.
