What is your first reaction to this name?
Is it common where you live? Thanks

Very pretty name, not common at all round here (London) but it's one of those that people know how to pronounce and spell even though they haven't come across many

Im feeling more reassured that although it has been more popular it's not overly popular now. Think we may stick with this name we've had a lot of discussions about names as I really like old fashioned names ivy/Edith/Elsie and the OH doesn't like my grandma suggestions at all!

I've got a 6 year old Georgia and the only other ones I know are 1 11 year old, 1 7 year old and 1 19 year old.
I like to think its quite classic but not common!

Natnat29 · 22/10/2012 08:24

Exactly what I'm hoping for - name with a classic feel, I do like names like Charlotte and Emma but we know lots of those but no Georgia's

My colleagues 13yr old is the only one I know. Popular but not overly so anymore, I always think of it as a more modern version of Georgina which sounds a bit more mature to me. Do not spell it with any Js, please. Lovely choice.

I know hundreds of under 5s, but only 1 is Georgia. She's 4.

My DD is Georgia and I still love it, and there's only one other in her school of over 200.

Georgie is what we all call our georgia, unless she's being told off! Wink

missnevermind · 24/10/2012 08:35

DD is named Georgie, After Grandad George.
She is 15 months

DebK2012 · 03/11/2012 18:48

Best friend is Georgia and she has always loved her name!

DontmindifIdo · 03/11/2012 18:50

I live in Kent and am surrounded by pre-schoolers! I know 1. However, I know 3 Georgina's

Loobylou222 · 03/11/2012 18:53

I love it, but I wouldnt want it to be shortened and oh's family have a habit of shortening everyone's name!

Shenanagins · 03/11/2012 18:59

I have it on my list as i love it so its nice to read that its not too common or unusual.

troubador · 03/11/2012 19:07

i love it! Much nicer than a little old lady name.

missnevermind · 04/11/2012 14:33

Loobylou DS1(14) calls her Baby G which I thought was quite sweet.

Loobylou222 · 04/11/2012 18:52

Natnat29 · 04/11/2012 21:20
