Final 2 girls names!

We (think) we’re down to our final 2 would love to hear thoughts as baby is due very soon!!!

Alma
Georgiana

Surname is short and a bit unusual starting with a T.

I don’t love the nickname options for Alma but worry Georgiana is a bit long as we all have 4 or 5 letter names in the family.

Georgiana. I'm afraid Alma is forever ruined for me by Alma Pudden in the Malory Towers book.

@fairycupcakes annoyingly I just can’t seem to like Georgia, it’s the extra bit in it that I think makes it sound pretty!

@Whinge this made me howl thank you!!! Hadn’t spotted that. I did worry about it blending into the sea of short vowel names out there, but can’t help really like it.
I ruled out my favourite Evelyn because it was just too common at this point!

Personally I prefer Georgina to Georgiana.

I don't like Alma, old fashioned and dreary, sorry.

Georgiana over Alma but have you considered Georgia is you think Georgiana is too long?

Georgiana is lovely and has my vote.

I like Alma, but there seems to be so many short girls names these days, Isla, Ava, Aria, Ella, Eva, Mila, Orla etc. It's refreshing to see a longer name that's a bit different.

Also as your surname starts with T, Alma T reminds me of the Almat washing powder from Aldi. (probably just me though.) Smile

Alma

I prefer Alma

Georgiana is much nicer.

Alma is an old ladies name and not in a good way!
