I'm not keen. It's not very feminine.

When I was in my late teens/early 20s I thought this was the coolest girls name on the planet. (Georgia on my mind.)

I am now in my late 40s and I know a lot of Georgias, born in the last 20-odd years.

It's sort of lost its coolth, in the last couple of decades, or so.

It's a lovely name Smile

I like Georgina too, but find Georgiana too frilly.

I think it is lovely, are you going to have a middle name?

Onemoretime29 · 20/02/2016 22:03

Thanks for the replies! Yes, we'd need a middle name too!

Not keen, sorry. But it's not out there or offensive.

I like it. I was thinking seriously about it for my second child. And then we discovered he was a boy which made it slightly less suitable.....

For me it sounds very serious, flat and a bit clunky. I find it quite boring- sorry. It doesn't have any sparkle to it.
I have taught loads of Georgias and Georges though, which might be why.
I much prefer Georgina, I think it's prettier.

I think it's very pretty. All the Georgias that I know have beautiful red hair and blue eyes

It's a bit 90s/00s. I prefer Georgina.

AtiaoftheJulii · 21/02/2016 00:37

I like it, though there seem to be quite a few around aged late teens, early twenties. Really don't like Georgina.
