Caroline vs. Genevieve?

kmkaull2 · May 2013

We're team green. Boy name is 100% set as Jude Patrick.

Girls, we're wavering between:

Caroline Ann (mn is a family name)

Genevieve Catherine (mn is my name, may use Eve as a nn)

Thoughts? We're open to other ideas, too. Obviously we like classic names. My DH is not sold on Caroline and I wonder if Genevieve is a mouthful. (DS's name is Quinn.)

Thanks for your input and suggestions.

I love Genevieve, but not necessarily with Quinn. Eva and Quinn is cute, though. Caroline is just kinda ok to me.

Other suggestions that I like with Quinn:

Elise

Alice

Charlotte

Emma

Willa

Beatrice

Adele

Audrey

Nora

Rosalie

Elsa

Audra

Natalie

Ava

Lillian

Genevieve Katherine for sure! Love it. I like Caroline, but don't love it with Ann.

amberpro · May 2013

I love Caroline. So pretty. And we do family mn, too. Stick with Ann.

Genevieve is also pretty. If you go that route, I prefer Catherine as a mn. I don't care for the double "eve" and prefer the use of family names.

Caroline. Classic and pretty!

LOVE Genevieve Catherine! I think either Eve or Vivi would be a cute nn.

Caroline Ann!

Genevieve

I like Genevieve a lot better!! It is so pretty and not overused.

DaisyZH · May 2013

I like them both but prefer Caroline.

Caroline Ann is lovely! Genevieve is too, but it's definitely a mouthful. And I love your boy name!

Suggestions...

Eve Catherine

Lucy Catherine

Violet Ann

I knew a Genevieve who went by Gena. The only reason I would worry about Caroline is because I'm not a fan on the nn Carol. Although if you stick to your guns with no NN then I would choice Caroline.

Genevieve Catherine is a beautiful name.

Mrs.G123 · May 2013

Love Genevieve.

Caroline Ann makes me think of Carolann. I like Caroline, just not with Ann. Genevieve Catherine is pretty. Since you mention using Eve as a nn, what about Evelyn? I have a friend who just named her baby Evelyn but calls her Evy. I think Evelyn is nice and a little more updated and ageless.

Caroline Ann.

Caroline is nice but Genevieve is by far one of my all time favorites.

mjune3881 · May 2013

I adore Genevieve ... It's my girls name if we have another.

ObLaDi · May 2013

I loooove Genevieve, with the nn Eve or Evie. It's my second favorite girl name.

Caroline is pretty but super popular and a lot more bland to me.

Yeah, I agree about the Carolann. It bugs me too. Just trying to honor my aunt/godmother with the "Ann". I LOVE Evelyn, too. Not sure I love it with our last name.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I think Genevieve Catherine is going to be the winner. :-)

Definitely Caroline.

cmw&tdm · May 2013

Not a huge fan of Genevieve but its ok, love Caroline.

laurakaz13 · May 2013

They are both beautiful! You can't lose. My DD is Grace Eleanor, so I clearly also love classic names.

eclipselova4eva · May 2013

Caroline is so cute and she will grow into the name as an adult.

hollyk224 · May 2013

I love the name Caroline, but I don't like Ann with it.

momtobe1028 · May 2013

Ahh so hard to choose ! Both were on the top of our list ! I'm going to go with Caroline .

BulgariHeart · May 2013

They're both beautiful but I think I like Caroline a tad more. Only, it doesn't flow too well with MN Ann IMO.

Agree with this!!

ktzen3 · May 2013

They are both pretty but I prefer Genevieve (Eve). That is on my short list, too.

Caroline & Quinn both have a "C" sound at the beginning which might get hard when you are calling one or the other.

O.O

Carol as a nn for Caroline? Um, no. Caroline doesn't have a nn. Carol is NOT a nn for Caroline. Grrr

MrsP7309 · May 2013

I'm clearly partial to Genevieve (points at ticker). Genevieve Catherine is beautiful!
