Which name out of these four would you go for to go with Smith? Im torn with going with something unusual given the plain last name or sticking with something traditional.

Name with the most votes wins!

Thanks in advance!

Georgia

Liberty.

If someone told me they had a child called Ditte, without having met them I’d assume it was a boy called Dieter.

Vivian is also pretty. Georgia is ok but not to my taste.

The Man's name is Vivian or Vyvyan.
The Woman;s name is Vivien or Vivienne. I might be wrong but I'd say Vivienne as Vivvy-En.

starkid · 22/08/2018 15:12

Although I do like the spelling Vivienne, makes it more fancy haha

starkid · 22/08/2018 15:11

Georgia

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/08/2018 15:02

Would you consider Vivienne? That way you could easily bring in 'Vivi' as a NN if anyone irritatingly starts using Viv?

Twistella · 22/08/2018 14:53

Isn't Vivien the men's spelling

AtlantaGinandTonic · 22/08/2018 14:52

My vote is for Vivien. I'd never heard of Georgia as a name until I moved to the UK. It's probably because I'm originally from Georgia, so naming your child that would be like naming them Sussex or Herfordshire.

Twistella · 22/08/2018 14:48

Nope, chavvy. Georgina is marginally less so.

Backdrop · 22/08/2018 14:39

Georgia and Liberty are not 'chavvy'

I attended posh private schools from Reception to Year 13, and I knew 3 'Liberty's and 6 'Georgia's.

(Plus two 'Georgina's, which in my opinion is a lot more chavvy than Georgia!)

George Obsorne has a daughter called Liberty, and I don't think he's particularly chavvy...

SingaSong12 · 22/08/2018 14:39

I don't mind any, favourite Georgia. Ditte with that spelling makes me think of Deet (used in insect repellent) so use Dita.

Orchiddingme · 22/08/2018 14:36

Liberty Smith is an ace name, out there but in a good way.

Georgia Smith also a good solid name.

The others I'm not so fussed about.

Twistella · 22/08/2018 14:33

Georgia and liberty are chavvy
I like Ditte if you are Danish
Viv is probably my fave

Lisabel · 22/08/2018 14:31

Georgia or Ditte, not so keen on Vivien or Liberty but then name preference is just subjective.

Backdrop · 22/08/2018 14:28

Liberty, because I love the nickname Libby

NordicNobody · 22/08/2018 14:26

Liberty or Ditte now that you've explained the connection. Vivian is my least favourite but still fine.

rosy71 · 22/08/2018 13:30

Georgia Ditte Smith

huggybear · 22/08/2018 13:30

Liberty.

I like Georgia but Jorga Smith is pretty famous.

AhoyDelBoy · 22/08/2018 13:24

Dita Vivienne as suggested above, gorgeous! Liberty and Georgia aren’t my cup of tea at all.

Thanks for all your help guys,

Started to count the votes, so far, looks like Georgia is on top!

Georgia definitely

DarkestBeforeDawn · 22/08/2018 11:38

Love Vivian!!!

Whalebird · 22/08/2018 11:35

Love Georgia.

ReginaPhalange89 · 22/08/2018 11:33

Georgia . I personally really dislike Liberty, sorry to say it but it sounds a bit like a strippers name to me ! Don't hate me lol.
