I have always loved the name and it was a way to use my grandfather’s name (Gene). Genevieve’s brother is Alexander Maxwell. Now we are expecting our third (don’t kow sex) and having a very hard time finding a name for either a boy or girl that we love as much and fits with Genevieve and Alexander. Penelope, Calliope and Caroline are frontrunners for girls. Boys we have no idea – Gabriel, Theodore (and my husband likes Hamilton) are the best we have so far but I’m not over the moon about any of them. Suggestions?
