DS due in a month and I've been struggling. Have an older daughter named Georgie. Thanks.

I definitely don't hate it, I don't even particularly dislike it I just think it's a bit boring. Think I prefer Theo. However I'm obviously outnumbered here lol I can't imagine anyone hating it. I know 2, one is 3 the other 6 months

I like it though prefer it on a girl as a nickname for Leonora

Steven Gerrard. Lovely baby but why mess with the spelling?!

Presumably named after Lionel Messi, commonly known as Lio.

I like it.

LaLegue · 16/05/2017 08:13

It's fine. Neither love nor loathe. I wouldn't choose it but I don't dislike it.

NameChange30 · 16/05/2017 08:12

Love it! Would have used it myself if family hadn't beaten me to it!

cingolimama · 16/05/2017 08:09

love it!

Rockaby · 16/05/2017 08:05

Really like it. Lovely choice.

CaipirinhasAllRound · 16/05/2017 07:01

Like it a lot

OliviaStabler · 16/05/2017 01:24

Like!

FreeNiki · 16/05/2017 01:22

It's nice. I do know 3 in my very limited circle of children. One teen, one 3 yo and one 7 month old. So may be popular

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 16/05/2017 01:22

Love it!

Dixiestamp · 16/05/2017 01:17

Love it- it's my parents' cat, though, so couldn't have used it!

SuburbanRhonda · 16/05/2017 00:23

Extremely popular round here. Probably after the Blair child was born.

Sophronia · 16/05/2017 00:21

Love it.

YouWhatMate · 16/05/2017 00:17

Love it.

Was my number one choice but OH veto'd it :(

cleanlaundry · 16/05/2017 00:04

@lrliml could still use it if you choose leoni for a girls name? Leo for short

I like Leo.

Off topic but I remember ages back I heard a woman call her son Geo so was a bit Hmm then she called him George! Never heard of geo as a nick name

AbernathysFringe · 16/05/2017 00:01

Lovely. Don't know any. Looks lovely written down. Lovely meaning.

sureitsgrand · 15/05/2017 23:32

I love it but I'm totally biased. I still look at my Leo every day and think how much I love his name. It's apparently popular but we don't know any others.
