I'm keen, so is DP. Just want some views on here to gauge people's thoughts on the name as we're not telling people in RL until DD arrives. Thank you.

Yes i think its lovely. Pretty elegant strong classy. Suits all ages and is not overly popular.

I absolutely love it! Might have had it on my list if friends hadn't used it for their daughter shortly before I got pregnant with our first.

Love, love, LOVE it!!! If we had had a DD, she would have been called Georgia. Three DS's here Grin

The test for me is if I would want to be called it as an adult and I would love to be called Georgia! Go for it, OP!

I do like it, but it sounds like George when you say 'Georgia's teddy' etc. It's only a small consideration, but one I wouldn't have noticed before meeting one IRL.

Love that name! Classy name that works equally well for children and adults

No sorry, it's the double 'g' sound I really don't like.

Yes like Georgia and how nice you and DP already agree on a name Smile. Although the Georgia I know is always shortened to Georgie.

Classy name. A cousin now grown up has suited the name from baby to adulthood and hasn't ever met another Georgia as far as I know.

Love it! Would have been on our list but there's one in the immediate family.

Yes it was my top choice but unfortunately I lost my little girl in pregnancy.

No, sorry. I think it's frumpy.

No, I dislike it I'm afraid and most of the ones I know are from unpleasant families.

I like it but not Georgie. But I love George for a girl too.

It's fine as I went on to have my wonderful second DS 💗

My top girls names were Georgia, Harriet and Charlotte (this was before the royal Charlotte was born!)

Not my style. But I'm American and immediately connect it to "the State of..." And all its twangyness. Sorry.

I love it. Would have liked to call one of our daughters Georgia but DH doesn't like it.

It was on my list... it would have been DD2s name if i hadn't have spotted something else 3 weeks before she was born. I liked it as I would have called her Georgie...
