Get baby into ghost stories from an early age with the girl’s name, Geniver. Derived from the Welsh Gwenhwyvar, Geniver means “white phantom,” “fair,” “white,” “soft,” “smooth,” or “yielding.” Indulge your little one’s spooky side with tales around the campfire and haunted houses on Halloween, if you dare. A shorter and snappier version of Guinevere and Jennifer, this alternate spelling will inspire baby to be the friendly ghost of their group.
