Genevieve . . .
1.
Genevieve just sounds better. Its frilly, but down to earth and classic.
2. There are rarely variations on
Genevieve, but
Aveline has tons (Aviline,
Avelina, Aveleen, Avalyne, etc) that are kinda trendy where I live.
3. I know three babies/toddlers names
Avaline and all three pronounce it differently #confusing and close to
Aveline.
4.
Genevieve has fantastic nicknames!
5.
Genevieve sounds like an older sister to me, so I would lean towards using it forst with the option of naming a future child
Aveline.
*
Aveline is actually a lovely name, that I would like to see more. But, I have a soft spot for
Genevieve, and feel bad that
Avaline is popping in my area enough to make it locally-trendy.
