Geoffrey

[rootsandbranches]

I think it's lovely. Do you know any under 50? What would you think of baby Geoffrey?

I know one aged around 32. He's a lovely guy, tends to go by Geoff.

I rather like it! Seems to be that magic formula of being unusual and familiar all at once.

Sorry but I'd find a baby called Geoffrey a little funny! Don't think it's quite due a comeback.

Geoffrey is there with Maureen and Doreen, the world is not quite ready for baby Geoffrey, sorry. In 20 years though it'll be cool!

Well in 20 years baby Geoffrey will be 20, so the perfect age to be cool!

Not to my taste i'm afraid

I like it and have a cousin aged ca. 40 with the same name. I prefer the spelling Jeffrey though.

I know one aged 13. I love the name, but prefer the spelling Jeffrey.

Somehow Geoffrey seems old fashioned and Jeffrey seems cool... I know a Jeff and he’s a total babe so I’m biased. Not my favourite name, but inoffensive!

I agree, Jeffrey is inexplicably better than Geoffrey. I think a baby Jeff would be pretty cool.

I know a 32 year old Geoff too. Maybe it’s the same one! Otherwise there are 2 of them!

I actually think this would be totally fine if you like it.

Don't think it really works anymore. Jeffrey is infinitely better but still not great!

Also came to same Jeffrey is nicer. If you’ve ever seen the Michael McIntyre sketch about names you’ll know why it makes such a difference....

Jeff vs Gee Off!!

I just think fresh prince of bel air

I think Geoffrey is nicer than Jeffrey.

I think it works. I would find it a pleasantly different name on a baby right now. It has plenty of history and tradition without being too popular. And I much prefer the Geoffrey spelling. Jeffrey is a modern Americanisation that is unappealing to me.

I know 2 Geoffreys in their 60s (both prefer Geoff) and I was at primary school with 2 others (one of whom was a Jeffrey) so they will both be in their 50s.

Not one of my favourite names, but I prefer it with a G.

I actually think a baby Geoffrey or Jeffrey would make a refreshing change from all the little Alfies, Teddies and Harrys.

I don't know any under 50

Its probably due a come back but I'm another than much prefers it spelled Jeffrey

I know a 32 year old Geoff too! I bet it is the same person.

I think provided your other children are named George, Zippy and Bungle it's fine.

My partners name and the same spelling he's 30 😆

There was (is?) a tv presenter called Jeff Brazier, must only be in his 30s.

I like it. Could go with Jethro for a more fashionable name if it worries you.

It’s a bit like calling a baby Nigel. Please don’t do it

I love it.

So cute.

Although Jeffrey is easier and that is appealing. Being someone with an annoying spelling of name myself.
