Gorgian houses tend to be terraced or detached. Edwardian houses are more likely to be semi-detached.
Like George btw

Love George. My DSs middle name.

CoteDAzur · 01/05/2010 16:33

I like it. Very unusual.

mitochondria · 01/05/2010 16:29

I have one.

He is named after Peppa Pig's little brother.

He is usually known as Goo.

I used to hate it but really like it now!

Love it!

As a nanny I used to look after a George (He'd be about 18 now I think). When he used to write his name aged about 5 all the letters were so very round, I loved the way it looked. That's one of the reasons we ended up calling our DS George!

I like George. We used it as a middle name as I feared it being popular but actually there are only a couple at school.

A good friend has one tho so it's just as well.

Good name tho - Everyone can say it, no icky nicknames, everyone can spell it, classy and classic.

Georgian houses tend to be semis . It's the symmetry.

scotagm · 30/04/2010 21:33

Love it. My Ds is Archie George.

Usualsuspect, what do you mean by "very semi-detached?" An utterly ridiculous comment.

SE13Mummy · 30/04/2010 19:15

I love the name in theory but have taught a few and they've always been boys who're remembered for all the wrong reasons so it's not one I'd use personally. This in itself is a good reason for lots of other people to use it so that I eventually get to teach a lively but reasonably behaved George.

Yep! My GN is George, called Geordie or Doddie as he is in Aberdeenshire.

Best thing is that he has his own range of designer clothing at ASDA.

I like George. Have a 3yo one. And we live in a terrace not a semi

He's the only one in his nursery.

I like George.

Doodleydoo · 29/04/2010 22:31

If our next dc is a boy it will be a George. And if a girl will possibly be a Georgia

VengefulKitty · 29/04/2010 22:30

I have no real feelings on it either way.

Just popped in to say that I know of 2 Georges. One is 9 and one is 18mths.

twolittlemonkeys · 29/04/2010 22:30

I like it but there are 4 of them in DS's kindergarten (26 children in total)

usualsuspect · 29/04/2010 22:30

Horrible name ..very semi detached
