Eleanor or Georgia?

Hi everyone,

Just wanted some opinions on these names. 30 weeks now and we still are not 100% on a name for our little girl! We want something strong/not particularly fussed about it sounding conventionally pretty.

All honest opinions welcome.

Georgia or how about Georgina?

Brizzlemint · 23/03/2019 16:20

Eleanor

Eleanor
I have one, and there isn’t any others in her school.

SweetbutaPsycho · 23/03/2019 16:39

Georgia.

Lovingbenidorm · 23/03/2019 16:43

I like both tbh

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 23/03/2019 16:45

I like both but I think I prefer Georgia :)

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 23/03/2019 16:46

Eleanor by a million miles. Georgia is very 90’s.

Happyandglorious · 23/03/2019 16:51

Georgia

PolarBearDisguisedAsAPenguin · 23/03/2019 16:56

I think Eleanor is a lovely name but variations (Ela, Ella, Ellie, Elle etc) seem to be very popular at the moment. It wouldn’t put me off but I know some people don’t like it.

Peachbubble · 23/03/2019 16:59

Georgia

daisypond · 23/03/2019 17:13

Eleanor by miles. Would never consider Georgia - dated and now quite downmarket.

Expressedways · 23/03/2019 17:16

Definitely Eleanor

FriarTuck · 23/03/2019 17:23

Georgia out of the two - Eleanor is too old. But preferably neither

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 23/03/2019 17:28

Georgia but Georgina is the better version.

MyDcAreMarvel · 23/03/2019 17:28

Eleanor , Georgia is awful.

pazwaz70 · 23/03/2019 17:30

Georgia, but I'm biased. Daughter is called it.

Ohyesiam · 23/03/2019 17:37

Georgia, really lovely.
Eleanor is dignified, butboth that I know are Elly, which I don’t like and v similar to Ella Elsa etc that are everywhere.

Sexnotgender · 23/03/2019 17:39

I have a total irrational dislike of Georgia.

I love Eleanor, it was high on my list if DS had been a girl.

mrsdavys · 23/03/2019 17:43

A thousand times Eleanor

CloserIAm2Fine · 23/03/2019 17:44

Georgia

Eleanor is lovely, but if shortened to Ellie gets rather lost in a sea of Ellie/Ella/Eva/Evie type names imo

AloneLonelyLoner · 23/03/2019 17:46

Eleanor. Georgia is truly the pits.

thefirst48 · 23/03/2019 17:50

Georgia.

Eleanor will just get shorted to Ellie which is to popular these days.

CrazyOldBagLady · 23/03/2019 17:52

Both lovely names, they were both on our girls list. Difficult to say one or the other but I think Georgia is my favourite of the two at the moment.

MotherOfTheNoise · 23/03/2019 17:59

Definitely Eleanor (but I may be biased Wink) and my nickname is Nori so not the typical Ellie, Ella, Elle etc.

IVflytrap · 23/03/2019 18:09

Eleanor, with Georgia as her middle name.
