Hi, I'm looking for opinions!

If you heard the name Georgie would you think it would be a boy or girls name?

Thank you in advance!

Yeah a boy called George with nickname Georgie is really cool. He can drop it if he doesn’t like the nickname when older

I love the name George

Girls. My niece is called Georgie and I think it's a lovely name

Danny/Danni, Andy/Andie, Robin/Robyn - there are loads of them really.

There's a male Georgie in Rod Stewart's Killing of Georgie.

Boy or girl. Usually a nn for George or Georgina. Stevie for Stephanie or Stephen/Steven has a similar vibe..

My George was Georgie Boy , or Georgie Porgie , he’s definitely a boy

Yes definitely makes sense to have the name of George and then maybe Georgie as a nickname! Thank you for your opinions 🙂

As a nickname, either. But I can’t imagine using it as a first proper name for either.

My friends boy is George, we called him Georgie for a nickname. However as other posts have said I’m not sure as a teen Georgie would work? I’d imagine he would just revert to George tbh

I think if it was their name, rather then a nickname, I would say girl.

I have a boy called George. He’s little and cute and gets called Georgie. Not sure the nickname will be used when’s he’s a teenager.

I would assume Georgie was a girl.

I've known a couple of Georginas shortened to Georgie. I've known loads of Georges and they've all just been known as George.

Just remembered. Beryl Bainbridge wrote a book called Master Georgie so maybe it used to be more of a boy's name.

The only boy Georgie I can think of this is in It Confused

I know a boy Georgie but I've always wondered why they didn't just call him George and give him the nickname Georgie if that's what they wanted.. it is definitely more girly.

Girl.

I know of a boy called Georgie, when I googled the name it said it originally started as a boy name but can be either. I would hate to call my boy Georgie and for everyone to think it was a girls name 🙄

It can be either.

Georgie is clearly a girl
