Is this name too much of a tongue twister?

Georgia Drew? I can't work out if it's difficult to say out loud or I'm overthinking it.

Other options are Molly, Carrie and Hadley

Ophelia Drew?

Thanks all. Drew is the surname.

Responses seem mixed

I do also like Georgina a lot but thought that would end up being Georgie and I wasn't sure if it has the same issues as Georgia as the Gs run into the D

Hadley was DP's offering to the list but may feel a bit masculine with Drew

I love Nancy but ruled it out for obvious reasons Grin

I don't find it difficult to say at all.

Seeing Hadley in your potential list, is Drew the middle name, or surname?

MissedItByThisMuch · 30/08/2023 07:02

Seems perfectly fine to me. I do prefer Georgina Drew but if you prefer Georgia it works fine.

WhatHaveIDoneNo3 · 30/08/2023 06:59

What about Georgina Drew instead?

ChallengeAnneka · 30/08/2023 00:56

Hadley Drew is great

BananaSlug · 30/08/2023 00:53

It’s not hard to say at all.

similarminimer · 29/08/2023 23:53

Carrie Drew - carried you? Caribou?
Georgia Drew - george andrew(Wham!)

KirstenBlest · 29/08/2023 20:31

And I suppose to cut a long story short, Carrie doesn't go all that well with the surname. Would do well as a lifestyle journalist's name.

You are gold, @Wiii .

Nancy is great. Love it. Molly is nice. Not keen on Hadley - it's a surname. and makes me think of Tony Hadley.

So True!

I think it works fine

I prefer it to any of your others and think it runs better. If you are going to call her Georgie day to day, you might go for Georgina as 3 syllables probably balances better with Drew.

Unless you want to consider Nancy, which of course you should..

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 29/08/2023 19:10

It sounds fine and is perfectly pronounceable.
It's Georgia which is the micro tongue twister, and would be with any surname! Drew is pretty short and simple as surnames go.

JamSandle · 29/08/2023 18:39

It's lovely and not hard to say at all.

NotMadeOfStone · 29/08/2023 18:39

I don't find it hard to say, plus you won't say it out loud all that often after the 'ooh she's lovey what did you name her' phase!

BakingBeanz · 29/08/2023 18:37

Molly Drew is a great name.

PurpleChrayne · 29/08/2023 18:35

Hadley Drew is a phenomenal name!

User6761 · 29/08/2023 18:31

Contrary to some other posters, I find Georgia Drew fine, and sounds better to me than your other options that seem to run into the surname e.g. Molly Drew is a bit like mildew to me!

I think a 3 syllable name works better with Drew e.g.
Felicity Drew
Emily Drew
Caroline Drew
Marianne Drew
Ottilie Drew
Harriet Drew

KirstenBlest · 29/08/2023 09:58

It's fine, other than it could sound like George Adrew.

As for "the syllables at the end of Georgia", people say Jorja not Jorji-a

user1492757084 · 29/08/2023 09:05

She will likely be called Georgie Drew which is not hard to say though Georgia is a bit of a tongue twister.

Carrie and Molly sound better with your surname.
Both are my faves.

Hadley Drew is not as clear or easy to say.

Strugglingtodomybest · 29/08/2023 08:13

I don't find it hard to say.

justanotherparrot · 29/08/2023 08:11

All lovely names OP but the Georgia doesn't flow with your surname very well in my opinion.
I really like Molly and Carrie.

minipie · 29/08/2023 07:51

It is tricky to say.

Molly Drew is fab. Hadley is a boy’s name to me?
