Well there's a French and an English pronounciation. Being that I am not French I would say Jenna-vive, a French person may say 'jen-vee-ev'. I using the English pronounciation, I love the name.

We are in the process of naming our baby this as part of her name. We live in a bilingual city, so people correct the anglo pronunciation all the time. It is quite contentious, not sure if swinging between the two pronunciations is a pro or a con for this name!

Genevieve Norah
or
Norah Genevieve

I like Norah Genevieve best, it flows better. I do love both names though!

Thanks, Jen. This is going to be a tough decision.
