Middle name for vs. Genevieve

Any suggestions for a middle name to go wih Genevieve? Also, alot of people suggest using the nickname Evie (GenEVIEve), but how would you pronouce it? To me, Evie looks like it would sound like Stevie minus the St, but the Evie in genEVIEve is pronounced Ah-vee. Maybe they mean adding a y to the end of GenievEVE. Any thoughts? THANKS:)

Genevieve is our second daughter’s name, and we pronounce it jenna-vee-vh. I think Evie just comes from looking at the name, not the actual pronunciation. We call our daughter Gen but I really like Vee or Vivi. GL!
Mn ideas:
Lydia
Vivian
Violet
Camille
Arabella
Ivy
Bianca
Simone
Celeste
Eliza
Scarlet
Anastasia
Emmeline
Natalie
Charlotte
Rosemary
Klaudia
Molly
Meadow
Ruby

Some of the middle names are old-fashioned, but beautiful in my eyes. A nice one-syllable middle name goes best. I would avoid:

Jayne/Jane
Joy/Joyce
Jade
Joan
June
Jean

Nicknames:

Gen
Genna
Eve
Evie
Eva

Good luck!

And Gennie/Genny is also an option.

Since Genevieve is such a long name (and really beautiful), I would use a shorter name to compliment it. Genevieve Hope, Genevieve Celeste, Genevieve Claire, and Genevieve Rose are pretty. Evie Claire and Evie Rose are SO cute!

I didn’t mention this, but Claire, and now Rose are my favorites. Maybe I’m partial to Rose because of the 12 Dancing Princesses, Genevieve’s favorite flower is Rose. They both flow really nicely, but the VR sound clash just a bit, and the V.CL sound doesn’t. Good luck!

Genevieve Claire nn Evie (like stevie) or Vivi (like viv-ee) would be really darling! Good luck!

I agree, Genevieve Claire would be great.

A know a Genevieve Florence Foster Bone
I guess Foster is a family name because her sister’s name is Katherine Caroline Foster Bone. I feel like if you are going to have a long middle name like Florence you kinda need to have another middle name. Pick a middle name that just flows. It also has to sound good with your last name.

HEre are some suggestions:
Genevieve Marie
Genevieve Anne
Genevieve May (this would work better if you have a longish last name)
Genevieve Caroline
Genevieve Rae
Genevieve Lynn
Genevieve Grace (call her Gigi -GG)
Genevieve Marie
Genevieve Sophia
Genevieve Rose
Genevieve Nicole**
Genevieve Jane
Genevieve Lee
Genevieve Alexis*
Genevieve Kimberly
Genevieve Paige**
Genevieve Mckenna
Genevieve Cora
Genevieve Lauren
Genevieve Amelia
Genevieve Rylee (or Riley)
Genevieve Lacey
Genevieve Stella
Genevieve Joelle
Genevieve Brooke*
Genevieve Taya
Genevieve Meredith
Genevieve Gretchen (You could call her Gigi)
Genevieve Reese
Genevieve Madalyn (or Madeline)
Genevieve Harmony
Genevieve Olivia **
Genevieve Rosemary
Genevieve Ryan *

As for her nickname, call her what comes natural. I would Say Evie like stevie makes sense but I never really liked that nickname. I call the Genevieve I know Vivi, it’s cute or Gen. Sometimes I just shorten Vivi to Viv (like vee-v) Or if you could even call her by her middle name. Like I said, whatever comes naturally.

My name is Genevieve rose, my mom loves to call muse by that. But if I go by both names I prefer Genna rose. If not Genna or Genny.

Me not muse, so sorry!

Having a girl in a few weeks and her name will be Genevieve Leigh-Ann, nickname options are really endless Gigi, Geena, Ginny, Evie, Vivi. Personally not a fan of Gen or Genny...
