And is alliteration a good thing?

skidoodle · 13/12/2008 13:39

Now come on pointydog, the John Cale song would not be half as good if it were "You're having tea with Justin Greene"

Really girly you say?

Gita/Giita? Is that girly?

apuppydaviesisforlife · 13/12/2008 13:38

ghislaine (pr. gill-en, hard g)

bodiddly · 13/12/2008 13:38

Gigi as in Geegee like a horse? or like GeyGey IYSWIM?

Gretchen's nice but a little too close to Gretta.

I like Gretchen.

Guinevere? (poncy, but ace IMO)

Gertrude (DH's suggestion - bit too old fashioned?)

bodiddly · 13/12/2008 13:34

How about Gigi .. short for Georgia?

See I like really girly names like Libby but I just can't think of a really girly name beginning with a G.

just 'cause Graham Greene was a great author doesn't cancel out the fact his name was rubbish

skidoodle · 13/12/2008 13:30

Yes, cartoon characters like Graham Greene

poinsettydog · 13/12/2008 13:24

alliteration not good. It's for cartoon characters

egypt · 13/12/2008 13:18

Gretchen? bit witchy?

Alliteration can be good

You looking for G as is Gretta, or G as in George? (or G as in Gnasher ?)

Grainne?

Oh and to Grace- we have a baby Grace in the family, so it's taken I'm afraid.

I'd quite fancy the 'g' sound I think, sorky.

xp!

sorkycake · 13/12/2008 12:57

Alliterative names are the preserve of Superheroes, no?

Do you want the gutteral 'g' or 'juh' sound?

prettybutterfly · 13/12/2008 12:57

Giselle.

ClausImWorthIt · 13/12/2008 12:57

Giselle is lovely, but possibly a bit poncey

I have two very good friends called Gillian and my niece is called Georgina, so I'm biased about both of those!
