Really struggling with a girls name, dh and I have both liked the sound of Georgia - what do you think, honestly!?

It's lovely, I like it :)

Hedwig3 · 27/01/2011 12:46

Not for me.

Quite a few people have discussed it favourably on here lately though.

WildOne12 · 27/01/2011 15:57

I think it's lovely and is what we're considering if we have a girl. The only thing is I hate Georgina so will have to make sure that people don't think that's what it's short for!

much prefer Georgina actually, and it is much less common (popular common) and more english sounding.

LouMacca · 27/01/2011 16:46

Absolutely love Georgia. Classy and under used.

Where I live Georgina is far more common, I know several.

LetThereBeRock · 27/01/2011 17:18

It's gorgeous.

MackerelOfFact · 27/01/2011 17:28

Not mad keen personally. Reminds me of the former soviet state.

kensworth · 27/01/2011 17:46

it lovely and unusual without being odd good choice

friedeggs · 27/01/2011 18:16

Lovely name it was on my list til I found out I was having a boy, I think it's a timeless classic which won't date.

AllieW · 27/01/2011 18:18

Not keen. Principally because I don't like girls' names which are merely prettified boys' names - I prefer girls to have names in their own right.

GrimmaTheNome · 27/01/2011 18:20

Classy and under used.

My DD has two in her class...maybe its a classy class Grin
but then two of her best friends are a Georgina and a Giorgina

Thanks ladies, just back from the 20 week scan and it is a girl!!! Georgia looks like the front runner so far. Why is this so hard?!

Congrats! Despite my earlier comment, I do think it's a perfectly nice name and would imagine a Georgia to be sensible and reliable.

StarlightPrincess · 27/01/2011 21:44

Love it!

BarbieLovesKen · 27/01/2011 22:09

Lovely

LouMacca · 28/01/2011 20:47

Congrats!! I guarantee you will be back here for opinions on more names soon Wink

A1980 · 28/01/2011 23:18

It's ok. Nothing wrong with it. But it's quite a hard sounding name. Not very feminine and she'll just get called George.

onimolap · 28/01/2011 23:25

It's OK, but I prefer Georgiana.
