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.
I agree completely!Geneva is very pretty, but I generally dislike the idea of city names unless the cities were named after people. Ginevra, however, is drop-dead gorgeous!
