Help[Opinions] Re: Geneva
in reply to a message by mirfak
I've never met or even heard of anyone called Geneva in the UK, but we are a lot closer to Switzerland. I checked and it has been used in England at least since the early Victorian period, but it's very rare.
Some sibsets I found:
Philip, Geneva and Rosa
Walter, Buckley and Geneva
James, Geneva & Maria
Geneva & Florence (I was hoping for more cities there, but sadly there were only two!)
I have trouble divorcing it as a name from the place, as it's so unfamiliar, but it looks fine in those sets. Although I want to pronounce it genniver.:)
Not sure what I'd put with Genevieve - probably other old-fashioned but not yet popular names, like Muriel or Howard. I like both names but wouldn't use either of them, altough they could grow on me.
Can't imagine Vaughn on a girl, although it does rhyme with Dawn.
