Which Girl's Name? DD is due in 3 Months--THANK YOU!
- Christina Genevieve S
- Evelina Genevieve S.
- Genevieve Christina S.
- Susanna Genevieve S.
- Carolina Genevieve S.
- Italian last name starts with S, 4 syllables
- All names/spellings have been negotiated ad nauseum with DH
- He will not consider Evelyn or Caroline
- Genevieve is a family name

As for the others, Christina is a little plain/common for me. Genevieve strikes me as quite French next to an Italian surname, which might be a sort of strange combination together. Susanna is probably would have too many S sounds with your surname.

I see what you mean about Christina. I guess my other issue with Christina is that the nicknames for it--Chris, Chrissy, Tina--are nms and seem sort of 80's to me. I think some of the other names have better nickname options, if that is a priority for you. I absolutely adore the nn Lina, and Evie/Eva is very nice too.
good luck!

Hi there,
Eveline is a name I am seriously considering if I have a girl. Are you Dutch in any way? I'm from Holland and have always loved the name - will nickname it to Evie, not so popular back home, but I am living in London right now and know no one will get the proper pronunciation here.
All your options were lovely by the way. Choosing a name is so hard isn't it, why can't I give it ten names :) ?

Hi,
I love Evelina, but we are not Dutch. We are Italian and the Italians use it too, though it doesn't seem to be common anywhere except Sweden. I think it is about number 50 in Sweden. We were set on it for a while, but I am hestitating only because it is four syllables and so is our last name. Also, here in America, there is a clear Ava, Eva, Evelyn trend that is sweeping the nation so I don't want to seem like I am just getting creative and hopping on the bandwagon. DH wants just Eva but pronounced Ava like it would be in Italy and I had to veto because of excessive popularity.
It is SO much harder than I thought it would be. Sometimes I feel like I want to give her 10 names and other days I am so bored by all names and I don't feel like any name is good enough!
Good luck!
