Georgina nn Gina

WanderlustHenpeck · 12/02/2018 22:38

Francesca nn Fran is a great name. I like it more than the other two, but I think they are all nice names :)

SnowGoArea · 12/02/2018 22:39

Francesca
Alexandra
Georgina

In that order, although they are all nice so you can't really go wrong!

Alexandra or Francesca

upsideup · 12/02/2018 22:48

Most likely noone is ever going to actually call her any of those names (although they are lovely) because they are really long.
So what nicknames do you like
Francesca: Fran, Chesca, Frankie, Cici, Chessie
Alexandra: Alex, Lexi, Alexis, Ali, xandra, Andy,
Georgina : George, Georgie, Gina, Gigi

SuperBeagle · 12/02/2018 23:12

Georgina nn Georgie.

I love Alexandra but don't like any of the shortenings. Don't like Francesca at all.

Prefer Georgia to Georgina, but Georgina is nice too.

halfwitpicker · 13/02/2018 01:32

Alexandra of course

Redpramlady · 13/02/2018 07:49

All lovely but Francesca is my fav beautiful in full
Like frankie too not so keen on fran but it's up to her anyways to decide on nn
Congrats!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/02/2018 07:52

Georgina.

headoutofthesand · 13/02/2018 08:10

What a lovely dilemma to have. Our shortlist was similar and we eventually agreed on Alexandra with Sasha as the diminutive & the second choice being Georgina with either Gina or Nina as the shortening.

peterpanwendy · 13/02/2018 08:15

Georgina nn George or Georgie

ManagedTeaCups · 13/02/2018 08:19

Georgina is my favourite out of your list and love George/Georgie as nn but I also prefer Georgia out of the two.
Francesca is lovely not overly keen on the nn for it though.
Alexandra in full is nice
But not keen on Alex

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/02/2018 08:23

I like Gina as a nick name.

AmberTopaz · 13/02/2018 08:23

Georgie is my favourite of all the possible nicknames, but I think Fran goes best with DD1’s name.

AnaWinter · 13/02/2018 08:24

Alexandra
Georgina

Thanks all.
I’m erring towards Francesca or Georgina as two of our friends have called their sons Alexander and there might be too many Alexes kicking around.
Plus Amazon’s Alexa means there’s another Alex in the house already!
Shame as it’s a lovely name.

Would choose Frankie or Georgie as nicknames. I also like Cesca but DH doesn’t.

DorothysDress · 13/02/2018 08:45

Georgina out of your list another one who prefers Georgia as well though.
I like Alexandra as well but if you don’t like Alex I would avoid.
Not keen on Francesca.

17caterpillars1mouse · 13/02/2018 09:16

Francesca nn Cesca

lifechangesforeverinjuly · 13/02/2018 09:17

Francesca - I'd definitely have that if DH would let me! Beautiful name with lovely choice of nicknames.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/02/2018 09:21

Much prefer Georgie over Frankie

BaffledMummy · 13/02/2018 09:22

Excellent taste! (slightly biased as I have 2 DDs with 2 of the names in your list and the third was on our shortlist too). I can't put them in order of preference as it would feel like picking a favourite child Grin
