ve day inspired names?

[sunshineandshowers21]

our baby girl was born yesterday and we’ve decided to call her georgiana. we haven’t decided on a middle name yet though, and we’re considering using a ve day inspired name. especially as our first daughter was born on armistice day and we used poppy as a middle name to commemorate it. but we can’t think of any names! the names we’ve had suggested by family are vera (after vera lynn), winnie (after churchill - which is a definite no), or one of the top baby names of 1945. any other suggestions?

Victoria

Rosemary for remembrance (from Hamlet)

There might be some names of inspiring medical women, land girl leaders, those types of women from WW2? Can't think of any off the top of my head.

How about Georgiana Victoria (or Vera) Elizabeth? Then you have VE in there
plus “victory” and the Queen’s name?

Congratulations!

Vera
Elizabeth
Victoria
Europa

Hope
Serena

Or Wren after the WRN?

Evie. Sounds like E V = V E backwards

Wow, is Vera Lynn really the only famous woman who springs to mind from WW2?

Or peace. Or hope. Or first name Victoria Evelyn

Peace as a name would be a wonderful sentiment.

Wow, is Vera Lynn really the only famous woman who springs to mind from WW2?

Yes 😢

Can you give me some other examples?

Vera
Victoria
Elizabeth
Margaret

I like Victoria for victory.

Eleanor after Eleanor Roosevelt? She oversaw the drafting of the declaration of human rights which happened largely as a reaction to the atrocities of ww2.

Georgina is heavenly! And I love the idea of Victoria Elizabeth as middle names - what a lovely story that would be

oh, i like the idea of using a V and an E name. my boyfriend thinks we should just use victory but i’m not sure. i do like victoria though, and it has the bonus of having family links.

Clementine

Georgina Hope, Georgina Grace (after Gracie Fields)

Georgiana Wren (as suggested by a PP)
Georgiana Vera
Georgiana Victoria
Georgiana Hope

Then there's the names of female spies during WW2:

Georgiana Violette (Szabo)
Georgiana Madeleine (Damerment)
Georgiana Pearl (Witherington)
Georgiana Mary (Herbert)
Georgiana Eileen (Nearne)

You could also have Georgiana Sophie after the incredibly brave Sophie Scholl.

That’s a lovely idea! I would avoid Victoria as it makes the name so long but love Vera, Wren and Hope like suggested above.

I was going to suggest Sophie after Sophie Scholl but Feed beat me to it :)

Violette for Violette Szabo of the SOE?

Anne for Anne Frank?

Just not Eva .......

Georgiana Liberty

Love some of the other suggestions especially Victoria Elizabeth
