Thoughts?

I like it, I have two cousins (on each side of family) called Geraldine one has nn Gerry the other, has always been called by her full name.

I like it. And Gerry works nicely as well as Geri or Gerri. Or Dinny.

I agree!!! It's an aunts name, but maybe as a middle name?

Because we're sitting her chatting babes, she's pregnant I'm not!!!

No ulterior motive! Goodness me!

I'm totally thinking no, so we said sound it out!

Is that ok??

Why did you ask??

It's granny chic imo.

Dont like it.

Gerri doesn't look right - I think the nn is Geri. Like Geri Halliwell. Though I also know a female Gerry who presumably is really a Geraldine.

I'd try to talk your friend into choosing a different name personally Grin

Why are you asking "for a friend"? Confused
