[Opinions] Guinevere
in reply to a message by Loki
Guinevere has a neat sound-- it's stately but not stuffy, girly but not frilly, and I guess it just has the type of literary vibe I like. The "Guin" part is mostly what I like about this name. It could have the nn's Guin or Vera.
Genevieve is nms. I think it's too frilly and a bit too dense, if that makes sense. There's a lot of mass in one place with this name. There are more vowels in Guinevere, which makes it a bit lighter. It still isn't a "light" name (most names with G's and V's in them are a bit heavy to me), but it holds up well on its own. Genevieve is too heavy and too opaque. It's like an awkward skirt too laden down with burgundy frills and drapes of fabric.
