George - boring or classic?

[3yearsnosleep]

That's it really. I've loved the name for years but my OH thinks it's really dull. I'm interested to see what others think and how popular/common it is nowadays?

Dull as ditch water, and will probably date the child to within a couple of years of the royal birth. Also Georgie as a nn doesn't work for an adult IMHO.

My Grandad was called George and he was a lovely man, so that may be influencing my opinion, but I think it's a lovely name. Classic and solid. Not dull at all.

I have one, but live in a forrin country where there are 413 in the whole population. When I call his name here, he is the only one who responds. On holiday in the UK at least 4 other boys looked round every time. It dropped in popularity after Prince George.
