Re: Genevieve or Judith

100x Judith. Judith is strong and beautiful, Judith Cecilia is fantastic and I like Judy.
Genevieve:
• frilly and trendy
• hard for a child - and her friends - to write and spell: imagine the horrors of all those cards to Jennerveeve etc
• always winds up being boring Gen (at least in my admittedly narrow experience)
• yes, Eve is possible but then why not just call her that
• I have namenerdy beef with it in that it's a clunky anglicisation that sounds much better in its original language.
