I like it. Though it somewhat reminds me of the dog from Madeline, it also reminds me of my best friend in second grade. I pronounce it the "French" way, with a soft G. And I'm from New England. I think it's great as a middle name for Lilah.

I absolutely love Geneviève! It's one of my favourite names. I say it the French way. I am from Canada, although most Canadians would say it 'jen-a-veev.'

---

Lilah Genevieve is really cute! Deep down I love Genevieve as a first name, but I know people here would never ever pronounce it correctly, and so I've resigned to loving it as a middle name. Lilah sounds beautiful with it.

I pronounce it Jen-uh-veev. I'm from the East Coast of the USA.

---

Lilah Genevieve is nice, I especially like this because I don't like Genevieve as a fn.

I like Genevieve (jen-a-veev) but I wouldn't use it myself coz its my fiance's ex's name. I also like Geneviere (combo of Genevieve and Guinevere)

I love the name. I prefer it pronounced the French way (though I am American).

I say it like Jenna-veeve

---

I'm from West Virginia, but that doesn't really apply to how I say it because I've heard it all different ways here.

I love the name, but here in the US, the pronunciation is awful. I much prefer the French pronunciation.

I love the name Genevieve. It's an incredibly beautiful name. I pronounce it 'zhe-ne-VYEV', and I'm from Finland.

---

Lilah Genevieve is pretty. The combo could be better, though, but it's OK.

---

I absolutely LOVE Genevieve. I am from Germany and I pronounce it "je-ne-vee-AYV" (can you get that?). Adorable name! :-)

---

Cheers,

Hi
I don't like Genevieve too much because it's the same as Gwenhwyfar (and others) for me from "The Mists of Avalon". And I don't like her character. :-)
I pronounce it jen-e-VEEV and I'm from germany. I had 5 years of french at school, if that helps.
Lilah Genevieve is ok, but as I said, I don't like Genevieve.

I like it a lot. I'm from Ohio.

I like Genevieve. I know someone called this with nn. Gen which I like as a nn. I'm from the U.S. and I say JEN-uh-veev.
Lilah Genevieve: I prefer Lila but althogether this is a beautiful combo imo.

That is the name of my niece (Genevieve Joann) and I love it! I'm from California and we pronounce it Jenna-Veev. The nickname that we gave her is Gi-Gi. :)

Hi Brogan, it's nice to see you back! :)

I like Genevieve but sometimes it just seems so long and pretentious, especially as a first name, that's why a lot of people shorten it to Gen or Jenny or even Eve. As a middle name it's nice, if you can find a name that suits it. I'm from New England in the USA and I pronounce it jen-eh-veev.
I think Lilah Genevieve sounds nice, also I've always like the combo Genevieve Louise. I don't know if I could ever use it though, I also like it's counterparts Guinevere and Gwyndolen better, Jennifer and Winifred also come from this group of names. :)

---

I pronounce it Zhon-VEE-ev, because I had French in college and we all picked French names to use for class. But most people around here (mid-US) would say Jen-e-VEEV.

---

I love this name. I think it's very pretty and under-used.

Edited: forgot to add opinion :o)

it's a nice name, not a fave of mine right now, but certainly not bad either.
i pronounce it jen-eh-veev and i'm from the NE US
as for Lilah Genevieve, I don't really like Lilah, so that would be the issue for me, but i think it flows pretty well
