Stuart, George or Dominic?

What do you think? I don't think I've known any small children called Stuart since I was a child, but it was my Grandfather's name and he was amazing. Does it it sound odd for a baby now though? No special reason for George and Dominic, I just like them.

I like Thea for a girl.

Dominic Stuart Dudley sounds good to me

Dominic wins by a long shot for me!

Interesting. Quite mixed views but Stuart generally trailing in last place - I kind of thought that would be the case. I am quite tempted though, as I would love to honour my grandfather and I know it would make my family really happy (which I know isn't really the point but would be a very nice extra!). However I'm still slightly struggling with the idea of a little Stuart. Perhaps as someone suggested, using it as a middle name would be better.

I'm also starting to veer away from George, towards Dominic. My only issue with this is that our surname starts with a D. It ends with a Y and is a bit like Dudley (although there is no middle D, which I guess makes a slight difference). Would Dominic 'Dudley' sound a bit OTT? I think I quite like it...

Dominic - nice name
George - ok name
Stuart - strongly, strongly dislike. I feel like I know a million people called Stewart/Stuart.

Agree Stuart is due a revival and yours will be ahead of the curve! Dominic is nice too but he may end up as Dom. George is very widely used already. So Stuart imo!

I like George and Dominic very much. Less keen on Sruart, but it would make a nice middle name: George Stuart? Dominic Stuart?

Stuart is well due a revival. I know a few aged 20-40 and without exception they are all lovely kid-hearted people :)

George is my favourite. Dominic is ok. I'm not keen on Stuart but it could just be that unfamiliairty with little Stuarts.

Adore Thea

They're all nice names :) George is my favourite of those, but the other two are quite underused and classic too.
