Tabitha reminds me of Bewitched! Georgie is lovely.

Tabitha

Georgie is generally used as a nickname for either Georgia or Georgina. It doesn't mean you can't use it as a forename in the same way you can name your son Tom and it not be short for Thomas but the origin of Tom is as a nickname for Thomas.

If you want to use Georgie I would tend to go for one of the "full" names and use Georgie as a family nickname.

Anything can be used as a name. Doesn't mean it IS a name.

Tabitha (my dd1)

Anything can be a name!

Georgie isn't a name, so would reject on those grounds. Georgia or Georgina would be fine.
I like Tabitha too
not much help

Georgie is cute. I'd also use Georgina as full name.

manicinsomniac · 18/09/2014 14:12

I love Georgie but only as a nn for Georgina.

Not keen on Tabitha

Boobsofsteel · 18/09/2014 13:19

Both lovely

UriGeller · 18/09/2014 13:18

Tabitha.
