Genevieve is on my very short list for girl names. I keep seeing it on this board on people's favorite girl name lists. Is that just because we are all a bunch of name nerds that aren't on the trendy/popular train, or do you think this name is increasing in popularity? It was 232 last year, but Isabella was in the 200s about 15 years before it became the #1 and #2 name the last few years. Predictions on Genevieve?
Re: Genevieve
I think Genevieve is gaining popularity but I don't think it'll be the next Emma or Isabelle. It's just popular because it's part of the old name resurgence.
I know it makes a lot of name lists on here but I have a feeling it falls into the guilty pleasure name list for a lot of people. I have yet to see any Bumpies actually use it or if so, there's very few. I work in education and don't know a single Genevieve there. The only Genevieve I do know is my 90 year old great aunt..and she's amazing..
I love it, so I say use it. It's on my list but on a guilty pleasure level because for some odd reason I always have to think too hard about how to spell it in my head...lol.
I know one Genevieve who is 2.
My guess is that we are nerds.
Looking at the SSA, it has climbed about 300 spots in the past 20 years. However, I don't see it jumping into the top twenty (hopefully!).
I think it's gorgeous!
