Help[Opinions] Genevieve or Christine
Finally, someone who gets Genevieve IRL. First heard it from my DDs name. She's loving the name but also loving the simplicity of Christine. I like both too...
So what would you choose?

I like them both, but prefer Genevieve.

Christine is still too dated for me. I don't think it's really come back around yet. Wait another ten or so years for that one.
Genevieve is classic and terribly underused. I would definitely go with Genevieve. It's lovely.

Genevieve.

for what?
A first name or middle name? With Chloe? I like Chloe Genevieve / Genevieve Chloe more than Chloe Christine / Christine Chloe. Genevieve is a touch more interesting.

Well, we're already there with our Chloe Genevieve. :) (Although we almost had a Chloe Christine... many names were tossed around.)
It's someone else I know who's pregnant. She's just thinking names in general and those are two she told me she likes atm.

ohh I see now!
Well, I do still say Genevieve over Christine. Christine seems a little tired and needs some resting time. though I do enjoy the ties to Phantom of the Opera and killer cars :)

Yes! Me too. Christine was a family name but I was a little unsure about Chloe Christine.
I like the spunk of Genevieve and then there are cute nicknames available. :)

I prefer Christine, but
only if it can be managed without a nickname. I dislike Christy and Chrissy, and find Chris to be so handsome as a male name that I don't care for it as a female one.
Genevieve is... meh. Pretty, but nothing special. It's one of those names that I can appreciate but have never been excited about.

Honestly? I'd go with Christine.
Genevieve is lovely, but I hear it so much on the board, I'm a little burnt out on it. It's almost held up on a pedestal as THE perfect name, right along with Eleanor. Christine is a little sassier; it has more personality. And I've always had a fondness for the NN Christy.

I see what you mean. In real life I don't hear Genevieve much at all, but I do hear Christine and variants. On the boards Genevieve does come up a lot more though... But both are pretty timeless I think.

Genevieve Christine?
I think that would work as a combo...
Personally, no matter if I like the sound, I wouldn't use any Christina/Christine names, due to the fact that they start with "Christ." Not because I'm not religious--I actually am. And that's exactly why I wouldn't use the names. I would feel really weird.
But that's just me. A lot of other people may use those names for precisely that reason. And more would use it because they like the sound.
I do like Genevieve, though.

I've been thinking about Genevieve and Christine lately too. To me, Genevieve is a gorgeous name in the first or middle name spot, capable of stading on its own, while Christine is a beautiful filler first name that works well with unusual middle names. What I would choose would depend on what I wanted.
