Yes Jerry. I always get a tear in my eye when i come across you MargotlovedTom Sad

I think Geraldine is aces. I think Genevieve is pretentious. Lucky we can all like different things Grin

Grin sorry. I also think she was very fond of Jerry if that helps. However, Jerry would so have had a thing with Barbara if she'd been up for it.

I wouldn't personally, I think Geri as a stand alone name is slightly better but not my style.

Stressalot42 · 13/06/2017 20:00

I think I'm convincing her (nicely) it's that and no other options as it's aunts name.

Do I think Genevieve is lovely, but not an option.

I think she's over it.

Of that vintage I prefer Josephine.

It sounds like the name of some Clarks shoes.

And I'm generally not keen on girls' names that are a man's name with something added on the end. My own name is an example! As is Nigella Lawson's.

Sue......that's it!!!

That's why I'm not keen, it's an extension of Gerald! I've not realised that (doh) but I'm also not keen on

Paula
Georgia
Shauna

Etc!

It's ok, she really (after reading these posts) is over it!

YES - nice name, and totally underused. Not sure on Gerrie spelt like that. Would prefer Geri I think.
