Help[Opinions] Re: Jennifer, Guinevere and Ginerva
in reply to a message by ✧･ﾟ: *Magpie*:･ﾟ✧
White Phantom, or White Wave. Beautiful, either way.
Gw- makes a sound I don't enjoy. I'm happy that Guinevere morphed into Jennifer. FWIW, I don't like the English pronunciation of Genevieve either, and it's hopeless giving a French name in an English-speaking country and expecting it to sound French.
Do you mean Ginerva? I've never seen it. Or is it a typo for Ginevra, like Ginny Weasley? I'm no fan of Ginny as a nn - my cousin would have called it 'alcofrolic' - give me Jenny any day. And Jen is brisker and better. For years I dithered between Jennifer and Jessica, but I've finally prioritised Jennifer.
