So after added Georgina with the nickname Georgie onto a thread yesterday I’ve decided I actually really like the name. Thoughts please? Grin

Fussy, 1980's.

Georgiana much better.

Hate it. I have never met a nice Georgina, they have always been twats of the highest order.

intermittentfasting · 26/09/2019 15:44

Honestly, it makes me think of 'vagina' and it also gives me images if someone's over frilly aunt.

Very good name. So are Gwendoline and Geraldine.

Geneva1995 · 26/09/2019 18:18

I think we are going to go with Georgina and Georgie as nn. Thanks everyone for your comments 🤣 so excited we have finally agreed.

That's not really the way this forum works. People will keep posting on threads for as long as they want.

I'm a Georgina but hate Georgie especially when its then continued with the rhyme. Love my name though.

Goawayquickly · 26/09/2019 19:28

Georgina and Georgia are among my all time favourite names.

HalfManHalfLabrador · 26/09/2019 19:32

There are a lot of 40 year olds called Georgina in Ireland it would not be used here now it’s like ‘Sharon’ or ‘Tracey’.

Geneva1995 · 26/09/2019 19:38

@intermittentfasting Eugh I meant in a light hearted way because we’ve decided on the name regardless ? Lighten up

Ahh I love Georgina - my late Mum's name, she was from Northern Ireland. My English Georgina friends go by George or Georgie

NatashaRomanov · 26/09/2019 20:48

Love it.

HeartvsHead · 26/09/2019 22:27

My little girls name! She is almost 3. We tend to called her 'G' for short.

Struggling to find something we like as much for number 2 which is due very soon!

HappyEverIftar · 27/09/2019 07:42

My DM loved Georgina my DF overruled her and I have the quite dated now, but floral (family) name instead.

I'd have quite liked to have been a Georgina and all the nn options that go with that name.

Inlovewitharagorn · 27/09/2019 08:41

Love Georgina, Georgiana and Georgie.
Really loathe Georgia.

HedgeHogFoxBadger · 29/09/2019 21:32

I have a 13 yr old called Georgina although I call her genie most of the time. Didn’t like Georgie as a NN and Genie stuck! Although my dad calls her Gina!

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 30/09/2019 08:27

As I said before, I love the name, are you thinking of a particular middle name?

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 30/09/2019 08:42

I prefer Georgia.

Geneva1995 · 30/09/2019 11:18

@Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav middle name will be Elizabeth after my partners mum. So ‘Georgina Elizabeth’ :)
