i love this name. my teacher named her daughter Genevieve and i fell in love wih the name. i am getting confirmed later this year and i am using this name. at first i only picked it cause i liked it, but i know not only like it for the beauty of the name and the saint but for the story that lies behind it. thanks so much for this website, it is so helpful.
My mom was going to name me genevieve, but she named me jenna for short. ;)
this is my confirmation name.. It's so pretty. I love the story too... :)
I came looking for a page to share with Facebook friends. My mom and Busia would call me every year on January 3rd to wish me a happy name's day - one of the many little things I miss dearly about them. It's cool to see all these other Genevieves on here - both by birth and confirmation. I never knew another Genevieve growing up except friends of my Busia (grandmother). Nice to see more young people with this great name =)
Thank you St Genevieve, and thank you for the article. It makes me happy to read about the holiness of others and feel their love and devotion.
i like this saint name so I gave her name to daughter of my godson
Today I decided she's going to be my confirmation name! And today us also her feast day :)
