Hi, I'm looking for opinions!

If you heard the name Georgie would you think it would be a boy or girls name?

Thank you in advance!

Girls

Georgie is clearly a girl

Fairenuff · 06/12/2019 19:00

It can be either.

lvra · 06/12/2019 19:02

I know of a boy called Georgie, when I googled the name it said it originally started as a boy name but can be either. I would hate to call my boy Georgie and for everyone to think it was a girls name 🙄

Girl.

I know a boy Georgie but I've always wondered why they didn't just call him George and give him the nickname Georgie if that's what they wanted.. it is definitely more girly.

The only boy Georgie I can think of this is in It Confused

1066vegan · 06/12/2019 19:26

I would assume Georgie was a girl.

I've known a couple of Georginas shortened to Georgie. I've known loads of Georges and they've all just been known as George.

Just remembered. Beryl Bainbridge wrote a book called Master Georgie so maybe it used to be more of a boy's name.

Sunshinelollipops1 · 06/12/2019 19:29

I think if it was their name, rather then a nickname, I would say girl.

I have a boy called George. He’s little and cute and gets called Georgie. Not sure the nickname will be used when’s he’s a teenager.

Namechanger23455 · 06/12/2019 19:31

My friends boy is George, we called him Georgie for a nickname. However as other posts have said I’m not sure as a teen Georgie would work? I’d imagine he would just revert to George tbh

daisypond · 06/12/2019 19:32

As a nickname, either. But I can’t imagine using it as a first proper name for either.

lvra · 06/12/2019 19:33

Yes definitely makes sense to have the name of George and then maybe Georgie as a nickname! Thank you for your opinions 🙂

My George was Georgie Boy , or Georgie Porgie , he’s definitely a boy

MikeUniformMike · 06/12/2019 19:58

Boy or girl. Usually a nn for George or Georgina. Stevie for Stephanie or Stephen/Steven has a similar vibe..

Fairenuff · 06/12/2019 20:19

Danny/Danni, Andy/Andie, Robin/Robyn - there are loads of them really.

There's a male Georgie in Rod Stewart's Killing of Georgie.

WhoKnewBeefStew · 06/12/2019 20:20

Girls. My niece is called Georgie and I think it's a lovely name

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 20:25

Yeah a boy called George with nickname Georgie is really cool. He can drop it if he doesn’t like the nickname when older

I love the name George

Omashu · 06/12/2019 20:31

I’d think boy initially but I wouldn’t flinch if I heard it on a girl!

Grufallosfriends · 06/12/2019 20:46

Boy. Nickname for George.

BikeRunSki · 06/12/2019 20:51

I’d assume it was an diminutive of Georgina, Georgia or George, and wouldn’t assumed b or g from the nickname.

I know 2 x Georgina and 1 x George know as Georgie.

Cbeebiesrehab · 06/12/2019 21:05

If I saw it written down I would presume girl.

Shouted out in a park-could be either.

RandDandC · 06/12/2019 22:15

Girl, I’ve only known one Georgie and it was a girl. Her full name I believe is Georgiana but I only ever heard her go by Georgie

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2019 22:17

Girl

hannahfaith · 09/12/2019 15:46

For Georgie if you're afraid of it coming across as a girls name I'd call him George and use Georgie as a nn

Thefaceofboe · 10/12/2019 21:46

I’m Georgina nn Georgie Grin
