HelpRe: Genevieve
in reply to a message by Crista
I used to hate Genevieve, it sounded extremely bratty and ugly to me, but I've warmed up to it. Not enough to use it, but maybe enough to not recoil in horror when I see it, lol! I especially hate the super ugly French pronunciation of it, I think JENNA-veev sounds a million times prettier and smoother than the ugly JON-vee-EV. Yuck.
Eva is nice as a nickname, but honestly I think it's super gorgeous as a full name, much nicer than Genevieve any day. Nothing wrong with a short name. After all Ava is super popular and it's the same amount of letters. So is Amy and Ada.
I'd prefer Genny or Genna as a nickname to Genevieve.

I wholeheartedly DISagree
I've never heard anything quite as grotesque as JENNA-veev. It's butchering the way it's supposed to be pronounced; but I guess I just hate Anglicization anyways.
