Georgia or Caroline

[Guineapiggiesmalls]

We’re due our first baby in the next month or so and are suddenly swithering on her name...

Forr the last few months we’ve been referring to her as Georgia (sometimes Georgie) but over the last few days I’ve wondered if Caroline, which was always on our shortlist, would be a better name. I feel like they’re both quite similar, which is what makes deciding between them so tough .

Middle name is long since decided, so we can’t use both.

Our surname is three syllables (think Robinson or similar). Which is nicer - please help!

I definitely prefer Caroline.

Love Georgia.

Caroline. Lots of Georgia's around atm.

Caroline! Definitely. It's so cheerful and elegant at the same time.

I like Caroline. I've always loved Carrie as a nn too.

I like Georgia. Caroline may get shortened to Caz.

I like both, but Georgia slightly more :)

I prefer Georgia but Caroline is more unusual

Every Caroline I know is Caz or Cazza. Actually I know one who gets called Cal.

So it's Georgia for me!

Georgia.

I prefer the sound of Georgia, but Caroline definitely deserves a comeback. She won't have to be a "Caz", there's Caro and Carrie too.

Georgia

... and Callie

Georgia. I've always loved Georgia.

There is no nice shortening for Caroline, and I've known Carolines to have their name mistakenly pronounced "Carolyn", which is awful.

I like Georgina or Caroline, especially shortened to Caro!

Caroline is much prettier, although I also like Georgina.

Caroline or Georgina are both more elegant (if that is a criterion for you) than Georgia.

Georgia was on our short list but something about it just didn't feel right for us either. I LOVE Caro as a nn of Caroline - makes me think of Caro Emerald m.youtube.com/watch?v=74LXx0wSqMI

Definitely Caroline.

Oh, I hadn’t even thought of ‘Caz’ as a potential nickname for Caroline. I just assumed Carrie or Caro! Thank you for all your ideas.

Maybe I just have to wait and see what she looks like... I had looked forward to baby naming, I didn’t realise it’d be such a minefield!

Caroline. I only know one and she is always 'Caroline', to family, friends, colleagues. Being called Caz or Carrie is not inevitable.

Georgia ❤️

Caroline could be Caro, Carrie, Cally or Carly. Or Caz.
Georgia could be Georgie or Geourge.
I like both. Not much help but I'd probably go for Caroline.

Caroline is more unusual...

I prefer Caroline, but agree they are similar sorts of name.
