George William

[shadow7uk]

Hello,

We are thinking George William(surname Ayres) we love this name and we believe giving your child a strong name is vital.

We aren't a fan of names that people have never heard of or that our child we constantly have to tell people how to spell/pronounce.

What do you think? Is it too boring or common?

If you like it then go for it.

Well it screams massive royalist fans!

That’s my sons name , obviously I think it’s a great choice 👍

I think William George works better.

Is your surname Prince?

Ignoring the goady stuff in your post, your name choice is a classic that won’t ‘date’.

Lovely, classic name. Definitely not boring.
FWIW, I don’t think your post is ‘goady’ and I agree with everything you said.

I think George is a really wet name

And your guff about strong names being ‘vital’ is really pretentious

I love George William.
I also love strong and traditional names!

I'd think royalist tbh.

It's fine. But he will probably be known as "George A" for his entire school career as there will be eleventy billion other Georges at his school.

Great names on their own. Together makes you sound like a Royalist. Which is fine if that's what you are, but if not any comments might get annoying.

Not goady?!

FWIW, my children have Old Testament names so i’m not a mum of a ‘name you’ve never heard of’ or a ‘difficult to spell’ (aka very modern names that people are often very rude about on here) with her nose out of joint.

Lovely classic name

I think it's a strong, classic name that works well and sounds good with the surname.

You might as well call him Baby#10976443.

I prefer William George

But he will probably be known as "George A

Which sounds like Georgie, and that's a sissy girl's name. He might get teased.

Prefer William George as it seems to flow better. Slightly biased on William though, mind! Great names!!

Love George.

Our youngest ds is Philip George (named after both grandfather's.)

Staunch republicans BTW!

I know a George William, he's 20 and certainly a strong lovely man.

I have a George and despite its ranking I’ve only ever come across one other in all baby classes, nursery and there are no others in al of his school year. I think it’s a lovely classic name!

Please don't use William as a first name with the surname Ayres. I had an uncle names this...(May be related? ) known as Willy. Forever was teased at school as Willy hairs....

*named, not names.
Love the name George.

George William is a sensible and classic name that won't embarrass him.

That being said I really dislike the name George. Far from sounding strong, to me it's a soft and podgy name whose popularity confounds me. William is nicer but the comment above about Willy Ayers means that would not make a good first name+surname combo!
