Nevena (NEH-ven-na) vs. Nevenka (neh-VEYN-ka)

Nevena and Nevenka both mean "marigold," as in the flower. Nevenka is actually more popular in Croatian as a given name, even though it's a diminutive of Nevena. With either, I think we will be able to get away with Neve or Nevie/Evie as a nickname. Which do you think sounds most adaptable? Nevena has different stress than many three syllable English names, which has me leaning toward Nevenka!

Genie's Mailbag

Hannah in Tennessee
Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
