Would this be ridiculous?!

So....FIL is called George. Actually he's called Stuart but everyone calls him George. SIL has a DS called George. Would it be utterly ridiculous to call DD Georgia??

I think so, but then I come from a family with Ann, Anna and Hannah. Also geri, Gerry and Kerry. It gets confusing and ultimately very answers to any name!

*everyone not very

I think that you should call your DC's whatever you like.

I think Georgia's fine but how about Georgina so she could be Gina for short, less confusing. I assume your FIL is a nice bloke and worthy of all this tribute?Grin

Ha! Yes he's fairly alright - but I just like the name really! Grin

My DD is called Georgia (5), its a lovely name and not overly popular but we generally call her Georg and so do some of her friends and teachers , bear in mind her nickname as she grows up !

Georgia is a lovely name, probably ok to have a Georgia in the family. It will make calling everyone to the table easy Smile

I knew siblings called Paul, Paula and..... Can you guess?......yup, the last one was Pauline. I was a little Confused

I think it would be fine. I know cousins with the same name and it's not a problem at all. And your FIL is two generations different from the baby.

Sorry, but if you need to ask... Grin

(perhaps at a push you could get away with it. Are you a close family?)

Arabellasmella · 09/09/2012 07:46

i think people might think it was a bit odd really. i wouldn't

SavoyCabbage · 09/09/2012 07:48

I would and I think everybody would see it as a lovely FIL tribute.
