    I love it but I think people will tend to shorten it to Gen. You can remind them but it does get tiresome. My DD is Emily, Not Emi. But some people just don't listen.

    I love it, I also like the nn Evie for it. You just don't allow ppl to shorten it to Gen, pull ppl up on it if they do and tell teachers etc not to shorten it!

    I graduated with a Genevieve and we all call her Genna, pronounced like Jenna

    My daughter's name is Genevieve but i spelt it Genavieve because i didn't want her getting jenny.She rarely gets it shortened & we never do .I guess when she is older she could have Gena or Genna but since she is autistic i doubt she would accept that anyway I think sometimes a teacher might say Gen but not often.
