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.

No.
Love Georgina. Dislike all of the other Georg- variants. Georgie/Georgia to me is dull and Georgiana is OTT.

No, I don't like it personally, but there's nothing wrong with it at all. It just isn't the nicest sound to my ears. It is totally inoffensive though. A nice, sensible name.

I love Georgiana with nn Georgie.

Is it really so common in Greek? Second most used language - www.namewizard.net/f/georgia

Not keen, it's a bit 90s/00s. I prefer Georgina.

Ohyesiam · 12/05/2017 13:31

I life it very much. Classic, feminine, you could go far with a name like that!

harderandharder2breathe · 12/05/2017 13:18

I love it and love the nn George too

All the Georgia's I've known have been lovely people as well (2 adult, 2 late teens, 1 9 year old)

chipsnmayo · 12/05/2017 12:12

I like it, however where I live there are dozens of them but the majority of the Georgias I know are in their teens / early 20s.

SuperBeagle · 12/05/2017 11:22

I love it.

youngestisapsycho · 12/05/2017 11:15

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...

GrouchyKiwi · 12/05/2017 11:10

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

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

Scrumpernickel · 12/05/2017 11:03

Yes.

SleepFreeZone · 12/05/2017 11:02

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!)

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 12/05/2017 10:54

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

PippaFawcett · 12/05/2017 10:54

Sleep, I'm so sorry to hear that.

zeeboo · 12/05/2017 10:53

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

user1494533866 · 12/05/2017 10:53

No, sorry. I think it's frumpy.

SleepFreeZone · 12/05/2017 10:52

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

Dozer · 12/05/2017 10:52

I like it.

onemumtwocountries · 12/05/2017 10:52

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

Popskipiekin · 12/05/2017 10:51

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.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 12/05/2017 10:47

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.

Piratesandpants · 12/05/2017 10:39

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

mintich · 12/05/2017 10:35

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