I kind of like it. It has this nice sound to it!
However, since I am from Switzerland and Geneva is a city in Switzerland (that I do not particularly like) I would never use it. It would be way too awkward. I dislike place names in general.

I like Geneva a little more than Genevieve. I don't find either to be trendy, though. I don't care for Ginny so much but I love Eva or Evie as a nn. :)

Honestly?
First thing that I think of is the Geneva Conventions (not bad maybe, but not something I'd name a girl after).
After that I just think of the city, so it is just a place-name, and I'm not too keen on those.
Sorry.

I like it, but ever since I went to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin that's the first thing I think of...Eva's pretty by itself, too.

Like you I don't care for Genevieve but I like Geneva. My only qualm with Geneva is that it's a bit too placenamey for my taste and I'm reluctant to use the name of a place of which I have little knowledge. I think Ginevra and Genevra are nice substitutes for Genevieve as well.

The mother of a friend of mine is a Geneva, and I always thought her name was very nice.

I wouldn't use it, but I wouldn't mind seeing it. Use the nn Ginny, though--much more attractive than Eva.

Geneva's pretty. I agree with you though, I just can't bring myself to like Genevieve (that just took me like 30 seconds to spell).

I don't think it has trendiness at all, and I love the nickname Eva.

I like the name Geneva. I think its pretty. I also love the name Genevieve. But since you don't like the name Genevieve, Geneva could be a good substitute :)

I prefer Genevieve better. ;)

Had no clue that Geneva was back! Have a great aunt named that, and if it weren't for the name conjuring up thoughts of her wearing bright blue eye shadow, and using lipstick as rouge, it could actually be really pretty!
