Re: Aveline or Genevieve?
in reply to a message by Beth
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.

thank you! I haven't met any Avalines but feel that w/ the popularity of Ava....it is just a matter of time. Interesting pts.
