Baby George

[mummanj]

Hi everyone.
Had gorgeous boy on Thursday. Have decided to call him George Thomas Walker. Was so pleased with this until MIL has made horrible remarks such as George at Asda! Georgie Porgie and George Bush. I do not need to hear these comments when I'm so tired and emotional anyway and wanted your thoughts on name George? Do you like it? His big sisters name is Poppy.
Thanks so much x

It's a brilliant name, was on our list. Ignore MIL!

I have a George. It's a brilliant name! Thomas was on my list too:) you have good taste!

George is a good, solid name. Your MIL sounds like a knob-jockey.

Ignore your MIL. Just ignore her. Even if she hates the name, it's SO rude of her to comment like that.
Fwiw, I think George is a lovely name. It's what DS would have been called, had our surname not precluded it...

George is a great name. It will suit him at any stage of his life.

George Is a good, solid, traditional name. You can't go wrong with it

George is a lovely classic name. I'm sure there are lots of positive associations with the name George, such as George Gershwin, George Clooney, George Orwell.

Lovely name. I know two cute young Georges. And a lovely older George, too.

Love it - my favourite boys' name. Pay no attention to your MIL.

And congratulations!

That is a wonderful name. My MIL used to tell me my babies were overweight or behind, or any number of things. Some of them are incapable of being kind. I'm sorry you're having to deal with her when you should just be enjoying your baby. Don't doubt your choice because of one nasty lady. You chose well!

It's a lovely name!

Say ok we agree to have something all modern so we are going to call him thunder-clap.

I have a George and he's brilliant. Everyone calls him George. His little sister calls him Georgie. other nicknames are G. It's a lovely name. Ignore mil.

Congrats on DS. MIL seems a bit daft. George one of my favourite names.

I have a 15 yr old George - as fab now as it was when he was little. Occasionally known as Georgie in the family but never had any bad comments. A timeless classic imo - you can be whatever you want with a name like George. Forget what mil says. and many congratulations on your new baby George - brings back happy memories of when my now 6 footer was tiny!

Pretend to have taken it to heart and have registered him as 'Dazzle' instead so he's cool at school.

btw it's a name that pretty hard to take offence at! It's a sweet name for a little boy and good for a man too

If you'd like I'm sure we could come up with a few names for your MIL.

George is nice.

Love it adds to list for potential dss

Lovely, lovely name. Doesn't date, sounds great for a baby and when he's grown up. Take no notice of her.

How ridiculous if your MIL! Totally ignore her! George is fab, we have one and I really wanted Poppy for his older sister but was vetoed by DH.

George is a fine name!

Your MIL is being very rude. It's her job to support you at this time, which she is failing to do. However much she hates a name you choose she should shut up and smile. I'm quite for you.

I have a Georgina (5) and she told me not to bother writing her name in her school cardigans as its already written!

George is lovely. Tell your MIL to bog off.

My son is called George. Best boys name ever. Ignore ignore ignore.

And it perfectly passes the Governor of the bank of Enfland or dustbin man test. It's a great name.

I LOVE George. It is my 80 year old Grandad's name. It was a great name then and it's a great name now.

Congratulations on your baby boy.
