So we've decided on....

[RockLovesMincePies]

George for our little boy due in Jan. What is the MN consensus on this?

I don't like new "trendy" names, prefer traditional and dp likes "strong" boys names. I wasn't sure, but the more I say it, the more I like it, it's just so lovely.

Lovely. And congratulations

Like it! I am thinking of Georgie as a nn for Georgiana if I have a DD next time.

It's cute I think :)

Thank you :).

I have a 5yo dd from my previous marriage, she is called Emilia. I hope their names will go together ok.

I have a very DB named George. It's a fantastic name

Absolutely love the names George! ...and the huge plus point is that it can't be shortened!!! x

That's very true Melina, hadn't thought of that!

Totally fab and brilliant name for a boy .

..but it can be lengthened to Georgie, but that's no great shakes! Fab name choice, well done! x

I love George. Classic, strong, yet cute.

Fabulous classic name :)

It's one of those names that always makes me smile. It seems so incredibly old fashioned and a bit 'Rainbow' as well but it has made a come back hasn't it! It seems far too serious for a wee baby though, but great for when he's all grown up and Georgie is cute when he's little :)

I'm glad so many people like George, I wouldn't like to saddle the poor boy with a hideous name lol.

My dsis had some very "interesting" name ideas for her ds. Luckily her and dbil plumped for Noah which I also think is a fab name.

Oh I am pretty sure he will get called Georgie lol.

My dd's name doesn't shorten into anything terribly cute, so the poor girl gets called all sorts of rubbish nicknames (mainly by me ).

At least her brother won't have the same problem.

I really like George.
But actually its lack of NN is a slight downside for me. I like flexibility in a name.

I have a William (he's Billy for now, suspect Will when older).

Emilia is lovely btw. George is a bit more trad English to me. Something like Joseph would have a more universally cultural similiarity to Emilia IMO.

Well, Emilia was named after one of the aunts of my spanish exh..in fact that's dd's second name. But as is culturally correct in Spain, she has always been referred to by the second name.

My dp is of english/scottish heritage my family is just very english lol so he and I wanted to reflect that with our son's name.

Dd's first name is fairly traditional though.

(Will probably give awy my real life ID now) but my brother's nickname is Jets as in George Jetson. It has stuck for over 15 years.

Milly and Jets, It's not bad :)

Lol, sounds good wrinkly.

George is lovely! I know a few little Georges. I really like it .

love the name george! wanted to use it for bump before she turned out to be a girl but OH vetos it as its his and his dads name too :(

that makes sense mince; George is lovely. Classic and timeless, and FWIW the little Georges I know are all gorgeous. And then there's Mr Clooney of course.

Definitely on my shortlist if DC5 is a boy. It was my boys name for DD3. I love it, it's very strong and masculine but also very very cute for a baby. :)

Very charming name for a baby and little boy and it ages really well afterwards.

Gorgeous. Strong and traditional. Good luck with the birth
