Love it. I know none.

McTufty · 23/08/2017 22:57

Beautiful name. I know shit loads of them though.

InDubiousBattle · 23/08/2017 22:58

Don't know any but love it.

Sukitakeitoff · 23/08/2017 22:59

I know one, and one other with a really weird spelling. I like it.

Mulch · 23/08/2017 23:03

Love it, gaining popularity where I am

Oly5 · 23/08/2017 23:08

Love it

Keepingupwiththejonesys · 23/08/2017 23:09

I like it, hearing it quite often now

MargotLovedTom1 · 23/08/2017 23:11

Don't know any little Georgias. Ten years ago I was working with 14/15 old girls and they were all called either Georgia, Lauren, Jade, Jasmine or Olivia.

Circumlocutor · 24/08/2017 00:01

I like it a lot and most of the Georgias I know are teens. I really dislike Georgina for some reason though.

DramaAlpaca · 24/08/2017 00:07

I really like Georgina but dislike Georgia for some reason. I don't know any.

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 24/08/2017 00:12

I like it. Don't know any.

Ceebs85 · 24/08/2017 00:14

It was in my top 3 when we named our DD. Love it and would use it if we had another girl (and if DP allowed it)

ifcatscouldtalk · 24/08/2017 00:18

Love it and I like George as a shortening. I know of a 7 year old and a 19 yr old Georgia. They are both v likeable and both make me laugh my head off regularly, so for me it's a very good vibe name.

DandySeaLioness · 24/08/2017 00:22

simply beautiful!

notangelinajolie · 24/08/2017 00:36

It's lovely.

Slightly different name but I really wanted to name DD3 Georgiana (pronounced George ay nah) but it wasn't my turn so I lost.

DD3 is now 16 and suits her other name but loves Georgiana and says she is calling her first DD Georgiana Smile

notangelinajolie · 24/08/2017 00:45

Forgot to say, yes I know 2 Georgia's. DD's 2 & 3 who are now 22 &16 both had schoolfriends with that name. They were both very cool and 'georgeous'.

Ropsleybunny · 24/08/2017 00:45

Love it ❤️

SuperBeagle · 24/08/2017 00:51

Love it.

Would've loved to have used it, but there's a Tom Waits song by the same name (Georgia Oursurname), and the content and inspiration for the song are very sad.

SuperBeagle · 24/08/2017 00:54

Oh, and I know loads of Georgias but they're all the same age as me. Don't know any much younger! I was born in a town of only a couple hundred people, and in my street alone, there were two Georgias born within ten days of me. Shock I was in school with a few as well.

But that wouldn't put me off. Madeleine was also an exceedingly popular name, but it isn't anymore. Smile

Sophronia · 24/08/2017 02:25

It's a bit 90s, fits with Megan, Lauren, Bethany etc. I prefer Georgina as it feels more classic.

Jooni · 24/08/2017 04:10

I don't know many, doesn't seem too popular round here.

It's nice enough, but I find it a bit dull and a bit dated as Sophronia said.

HillaryWinshaw · 24/08/2017 05:17

Beautiful. I know one, around 7 years old.

MammieBear · 24/08/2017 07:37

It's very popular in Merseyside I do like though, makes me think of the ray charles song.

Ohyesiam · 24/08/2017 07:41

Really love it. Elegant and feisty.
I know a 45 year old, and a 10 year old ( but her parents ruined it for her by for her by spelling it Jorja).

ilivebythesea · 24/08/2017 07:48

Love it and nn Georgie. Don't know any baby/young Georgias. I prefer it to Georgina.
