Full name for Gigi

[scatterthenuns]

I have been watching an interview with Gigi Hadid this evening.

This has got me thinking - what could Gigi be short for? I think it's cute!

Hadid's name is very much a nickname - her birth name is Jelena - but does anybody have any legitimate options?

Georgia?

Georgina?

Luigi! But more of a boy's name!

I call my friend Gigi, she is Gillian.

Giselle

Virginia Genivieve Regine/a

Giselle
Gillian
Jennifer
Angela
Ghislaine
Genevieve
Jessica

My imaginary kitten (who will be realised when I travel less frequently for work) shall be named Luigi

Gilberte like the book.

Gilda or Gina.

Gigi of the Colette book / musical film fame was Gilberte - not sure I'd use it personally.

Gianna?

Quite like Gilberte, but thats my sister's bastard ex-husband's name (without the e).

Didn't know of the book though, how interesting!

Giovanna
Ginevra

I know of a Gigi who is Greta.

The Gigi I know is Gehan. Egyptian name.

Gigi was what Yolanda Foster ( her mother ) was called as a child and Yolanda passed it down to her daughter .. So it was originally Yolandas nickname

We call my cousin Georgia, Gigi a lot. It started from when she was a baby and couldn't say her name so she called herself Gigi and its just stuck.

Anything beginning with "G"?
Genevieve?
Guinevere?
Gina/Regina/Georgina

Initials - I know a Greta Georgina- she gets Gigi.

Is it pronounced Jiggy? I taught a Gigi pn Jiggy who was a Georgina. But she was only called that because the class also had Georgina, Georgia, Georgie and Genie so we were rapidly running out of options!!

Gisella

manic, it's usually pronounced 'zhee-zhee' (or like Zsazsa with an 'ee' sound instead of an 'ah' sound).

Gigolo
Giraffe
Gillette

All great names leg.
