I also love the name Genevieve.

For the women, would anyone consider naming their daughter after themselves, like a junior or a II? If yes, why? If no, why not?

I wouldn't but I wouldn't name a son Jr or II either.

Wow, that really made me stop and think. I know so many men named after their fathers, but I can't think of a single woman I know who is named after her mother.

As to the question I like William Joseph for a boy, and Eleanor for a girl.

Absolutely not. But then again, I would also NEVER name my son after my husband. It's like you can't think of anything else to name your kid. Your child is his/her own person. Give him/her a his/her own first name. If you would like to honor someone, the middle name is the place to do it. Too much confusion, identity crises.
