HelpRe: Genevieve
in reply to a message by Martha
I can't imagine any family with you in it being ordinary! Just that the Genevieve I knew was so ordinary, it rubbed off on her name. And, my first daughter was Caroline and my second daughter has Elizabeth as her first mn, so clearly I like them both a lot.
Do you use the English or the French pronunciation? I'm conflicted there, because it's difficult to suddenly give a word its French sound while speaking English: difficult, and unconvincing! But between jen-uh-veev and Jennifer, I'll take Jennifer every time.
Your sister sounds wonderful, as if she could take any name, from Abigail to Zoe, and make it triumphantly her own.
