I had always assumed my name was made up... mostly because my mom made it up, as far as she knew. I was supposed to be "Chenille" but my grandfather threatened to nickname me bedspread, so my mom got creative. However; I have recently discovered both a male and a female "Genneille" as well as several "Genneil"s on FB, and now I'm wondering if my name might have origins elsewhere. "Genneille" was found in
Trinidad and South Cotabato, and "Genneil" the Philippines as well, and Jamaica and maybe Mexico. That's the best I've been able to find out so far; anyone know anything else?
