It's an absolutely lovely name.

And it's so much classier than Georgia, in my opinion.

cptartapp · 31/05/2019 20:05

Gorgeous in its entirety. No contrived nn.

Savoury99 · 31/05/2019 20:07

Lovely

macdhui · 31/05/2019 20:10

Beautiful - have always loved Georgiana as well

Shadow1234 · 31/05/2019 20:10

Love it - and also like nn Georgie rather than Gina.

WheresTheEvidence · 31/05/2019 20:11

I would say its lovely. Nicknames have been Gina, George and now referred generally as G.

123Helpus · 31/05/2019 20:14

Love it

bobstersmum · 31/05/2019 20:21

Oh this is good news. I was wondering if people would think it was a “fat name” because of Georgie porgy, but I’m glad that’s not been said yet. The Georgina’s I know have all been knock outs and I also like the famous five connection

Underrated but lovely name.

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 31/05/2019 20:55

Love it! I have a friend called Georgina who goes by Georgie, George or G based on who's speaking to her!

Not that it matters but she is in fact a knock out 10/10!

Proseccofuelled · 31/05/2019 21:38

Elegant and beautiful

BeckyAnnLeeman · 31/05/2019 21:40

It's a very stodgy name. Don't get the love for it all.

QueenJulian · 31/05/2019 21:40

Lovely name!

Hahaha26 · 31/05/2019 21:43

A real mean girl at primary who picked on me was called Georgina, so I could therefore never consider it as a name for my dd..... however I do really love it! Confused

Hahaha26 I went to an all girls school and have ruled out about 19 names on a similar basis ;)

@beckyannleaman it’s the pudding and pie thing that does it.

My dh has just watched a film that has inspired him to seriously consider a virtue name like “chastity” or “precocious “ but far more absurd than that So I need to speak up quickly before we have a little baby decorous entering the world!

Astronica · 31/05/2019 23:53

I really like it. And love that it's known but not over-used.

IHeartArya · 01/06/2019 00:01

Love it. I know 5/6 - mix of full name, Gina & Jeanie.

taylorlynn · 01/06/2019 08:02

I prefer Georgia x

Penguin34 · 01/06/2019 08:15

Lovely name. Luckily she won't have been born in the 80s so people won't sing ooo ahhh just a little bit at her. For years. And years. And years

Rystall · 01/06/2019 08:19

It’s lovely but I prefer Georgia.

GinasGirl · 01/06/2019 11:59
