Love it. Agree with SanityClause, Georgia was my fav name all the way through my 20's and now it seems a bit less unusual. But still a gorgeous name, much prefer it to Georgina.

I adore it classic and beautiful as someone said up thread and was a favourite early on when we were expecting.
I like Georgiana but my oh discounted as it 'sounded like a Disney princess' (?!) , I like Georgina but I know a couple that are shortened to Gina and I don't like that at all.
'Georgia' was the obvious choice for us- Georgia Elizabeth :) or Georgie as she's also known

I've always loved this name.

I do like it yes, it has a good sound to it and it's a plus that it's not really a top ten name at the moment (I think). I think I do just slightly prefer Georgina though, but Georgiana is a bit OTT as PPs said.

I have a Georgia Lily . She gets called Georg or Georgie. It suits her now and she's quite a girlie girl . I always feel isn't very girlie until someone else says it then I love it . I much prefer it to Georgina and I find its a name that suits from a female no matter her age !

boygirl For some reason -despite loving Georgia - I'm not a big fan of George.

Good thing really - he was born just before Prince George and I've have spent the rest of his life explaining that no - we didn't copy - honest!

I'm not a fan. It's been v popular in where I live for a good 20+ years though

I like it, though there seem to be quite a few around aged late teens, early twenties. Really don't like Georgina.

On the fence about it, I don't love it or loathe it.

I think it's very pretty. All the Georgias that I know have beautiful red hair and blue eyes

For me it sounds very serious, flat and a bit clunky. I find it quite boring- sorry. It doesn't have any sparkle to it.
I have taught loads of Georgias and Georges though, which might be why.
I much prefer Georgina, I think it's prettier.

I like it. I was thinking seriously about it for my second child. And then we discovered he was a boy which made it slightly less suitable.....

Not keen, sorry. But it's not out there or offensive.
