Will Georgia/Georgina gain popularity due to Prince George?

[YummyMummybee]

Out of interest will Georgia(which I love!!!!!) or Georgina gain popularity due to Prince George of Cambridge? Everyone seems to love George so why not Georgina/Georgia?

I was just wondering this as my little girl is Georgia (and coincidently shares her birthday with Prince George!)

I think it might, its a gorgeous name . Cant see it reaching the top 10 though x

I really hope it doesn't get too popular. Georgia is our favourite girls name at the mo!

Georgia is in the top 100 already and it will probably become even more popular now. It's a lovely name though.

Probably.

Both Georgia and Georgina had a peak in popularity in the late 90s and have declined in use quite rapidly since then.

Georgia was ranked 10th in 1997. If the popularity of Georgia does pick up a bit since the royal George, I can't imagine it will get that popular again.

DD2 (7) is a Georgia and she is thrilled. in her words 'how lovely they have named the baby prince after an ordinary girl called Georgia'

My Georgia said "Oh no, now I can't marry him - George and Georgia sounds stupid together!"

Probably. But they're popular names already, Georgina especially (around here.)

I teach so many that we have to have: Georgina, Georgia, Georgie, Giggi, Ginny, Genie and Gina!

I have a georgina! Age 6! We call her genie for short

Or gigi and gina lol

Just never call a Georgia, Georgina! My sister goes round the bend when people get it wrong!

I think there will be a surge now, I think the name Georgia is underrated

With u there fifi Georgia's on our list for this baby been longing to use it since the last pregnancy.

I think it's sounds feminine without being too girly if you catch my drift?

I doubt Georgia will get more popular. It's popular enough now, but imo it's had it's day (not saying it'll go down, just don't think it'll go up much more).
Georgina I personally love, but whenever I've asked about it people have always said 'it's dated' or 'it's like you wanted a boy!' annoying whiney voice. That could see a rise, but it's not particularly popular as it is.

I was reading earlier that the name Victoria was far nearer 100 than 1 during Queen V's reign, except in jubilee years, when she died, and times of particular patriotism (because of war), so if female Georg- names do become more popular it may well not last for more than a year. I know I'll have forgotten about him in a month or two.

Ooh am glad to see this thread as am considering changing DD name and Georgina is one I really like but now am not sure if

Whoops! ... Am not sure now if it's going to peak. But not sure that matters anyway.

Georgia was hugely popular from about 1995-2000. I don't think it will come back the same.

I loved Georgia and it was on our shortlist. Hoping to have another girl anyway so I'd not be put off using it.
