Cool or not? | Mumsnet

JessRose23 · 2023-03-16T14:04:08+00:00

Our surname is Rose. I have my heart set on Georgia Grace Vera Rose - Gigi Rose. Is it cool or just tacky? I’m finding it so hard with our last name

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Really lovely.

LucyWildeGru · 21/03/2023 23:49

Vera is frumpy and ugly. The other names are really pretty.

Avarua2 · 21/03/2023 23:48

I think Gigi Rose sounds super cool. I love it.

Beautiful name however bear in mind unless you outright call her Gigi from the get go and introduce her as Gigi the nickname might not take as you think..,

A friend had a daughter and the surname was Gel (as in hair gel) they called there daughter Amelia Neve and went with A N GEL angel but it never really took hold and everyone called her Millie or Amelia only she was really hurt and considered changing it to angel but her husband outright refused.

May never happen to you if course just a cautionary tale :)

I have to say I think little Amelia dodged a bullet there

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/03/2023 23:45

Georgia Rose is nice

I’m not mad on Gigi - but she doesn’t have to use it if she doesn’t like it

Amelia has been done to death, and I also think that Rose is so often used as a middle name for Amelia it would be extra confusing

Penguinsaregreat · 19/03/2023 18:53

Rose is a lovely surname.
Personally I don’t like 2 middle names, nobody ever calls anyone by their middle names (except occasionally the parents). I would find it an unnecessary bind to have 2 middle names.

DarkDarkNight · 19/03/2023 18:38

I like Georgia Vera Rose, but think Georgia Grace Vera Rose is too much. I think 2 middle names is greedy, and with Rose as a surname it just sounds like a list of 4 names rather than a proper name.

Lovely name

DrMeredithGrey2023 · 19/03/2023 18:34

I called my daughter a name that begins with G, and in the back of my mind thought that Gigi might be a cute shortening of it, but it just never rolled off the tongue properly for us, so instead she's known as a shortened version of her name.

I think you have to make a real effort with the nickname at the beginning for it to stick

Georgia is my all time favourite name - why not use that? Really don't like Gigi at all. Just can't imagine ay my first day in a job and saying "Hi, I'm Gigi"...

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 19/03/2023 18:03

Love Vera & Grace but not a massive fan of Georgia. Do like Gigi though

user1492757084 · 17/03/2023 03:50

Georgia has two Gs so Gigi is a nick name.

Vera Rose sounds messy in the middle with the double RR sound.

Georgia Rose is lovely.
Grace and Rose also sound quite SSSy

Nimbostratus100 · 16/03/2023 19:59

how about Georgina with the nick name Gina?

SallyWD · 16/03/2023 19:48

I love the full bane but not keen on Gigi. Georgia Rose is gorgeous though

@HappyScotch

Amelia is a congenital anomaly characterized by the complete absence of one or more limbs (see Fig. 36). It can be distinguished from other limb deficiencies, especially terminal transverse deficiencies, and rare conditions such as sirenomelia and limb-body wall spectrum

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 16/03/2023 19:48

You could easily have Gigi as a nn for Georgia. Georgia Vera Rose is not tacky.

HappyScotch · 16/03/2023 19:45

ourflagmeansdeath · 16/03/2023 18:39

Oh also I think Georgia is much nicer than Amelia, Amelia is a birth defect so I'll always see it as that.

how is Amelia a birth defect?

Toomanybooks22 · 16/03/2023 19:45

Beautiful name and it'll work well whatever she chooses to do when she's an adult.

slowsundays · 16/03/2023 19:44

Georgia Rose is perfect.

KirstenBlest · 16/03/2023 19:44

film not fil!

KirstenBlest · 16/03/2023 19:44

I don't like Gigi or anything Grace.
Gigi makes me think of a slightly dodgy fil, and horses.
Georgia is nice.

BevMarsh · 16/03/2023 19:40

Georgia Grace Vera Rose is a beautiful name.
Love it!!!

JessRose23 · 16/03/2023 19:37

Thank you for your comments! I know what you mean about two middle names, I just included Grace so we could nickname her Gigi but do you think we could without the Grace? Which do you prefer
Georgia Grace Vera Rose or
Georgia Vera Rose?

thanks x

Isn’t there a one direction song about a girl called Georgia rose? I hate them but it was played ever for a while so people may assume your a fan of there’s.
