Hi everyone.
Had gorgeous boy on Thursday. Have decided to call him George Thomas Walker. Was so pleased with this until MIL has made horrible remarks such as George at Asda! Georgie Porgie and George Bush. I do not need to hear these comments when I'm so tired and emotional anyway and wanted your thoughts on name George? Do you like it? His big sisters name is Poppy.
Thanks so much x

George is a lovely classic name. I'm sure there are lots of positive associations with the name George, such as George Gershwin, George Clooney, George Orwell.

George Is a good, solid, traditional name. You can't go wrong with it Smile

George is a great name. It will suit him at any stage of his life.

Ignore your MIL. Just ignore her. Even if she hates the name, it's SO rude of her to comment like that.
Fwiw, I think George is a lovely name. It's what DS would have been called, had our surname not precluded it...

George is a good, solid name. Your MIL sounds like a knob-jockey.
