Help[Opinions] Re: Geneva
in reply to a message by mirfak
On Geneva, I think it has a pleasant sound, but I still automatically think of Switzerland. :)
I've always liked Genevieve, ever since names became something I truly thought of (age 12-13). I really like old school French names, maybe it is because of my ancestry, who knows. I do think it is slightly prettier in the French pronunciation, Jahn-vee-ev. However, I like the English Jenna-veev, too.
For me, it'd probably go in the Middle name spot.
I know some people find it pretentious, probably in the same way they find Sebastian pretentious, but I don't. I think it is no less pretentious than Victoria or Isabella, but it is well, French, which a lot of people substitute for "classy" and therefore it gets used an pretentious way, and the other two are more familiar.
Geneva's brothers are Felix, Rowan, Oliver... something current, but not too out there.
Genevieve's brothers are Theodore, Nicholas, Frederick... something a bit older, longer.
