I have just fallen in love with it, but DH isn't sure.

What do you all think? Too dated?

I like it. It's really nice.

I know 2 Gina's one is about 42 and short for Georgina, the other is 9 and is just Gina. Suits them both.

I found it a little dated just because the only one I knew was an older work colleague. My sister recently named her little girl Georgina and I love it although she is more often shortened to Georgie. Would you use Georgina then shorten it or just Gina?

Good, classic, underused name!

Makes a refreshing change from all the little Ellies, Evies, Poppies etc.

I used to love Gina shoes. Very 80s retro. Name and shoes that is!

I like it - it reminds me of my lovely, feisty cousin.

I'm not sure of Georgina, it seems quite frilly to me? But DH quite likes it. Thanks all!

Not even the negative comments are putting me off!

We are 99% sure it will be Georgina, nn Gina, if it's a girl. Thanks all Grin
