Hello Georgina. Welcome. You've joined an old thread so be prepared to see the word Zombie.

Georgina is a lovely name and the ones I know go by Georgie, George and Gina. Georgie and Gina are both great, not childish at all, and IMO stylish. Ginny is fine too but usually short for Virginia, but if you like it, why not.

Best wishes for the new school.

PS. I'd love to be called Georgina

GeorginaMC I was thinking throughout reading this thread that Ginny would the perfect current nickname for Georgina. It may not be people's first go to, but if you consistently introduce yourself as Ginny that will be your name! If anyone then asks what it's short for, Georgina still makes sense. Good luck with the new school!

Gia (geea) might be another nn but people might get it mixed with Gina

I know a Georgina who is only known as Tina. I do like female names that can be shortened to a masculine name, a girl nicknamed George is very sweet - handy for future job applications too!

I’m a Georgina and am only known as Tina 😳 didn’t realize there were more of us!!
I was very small as a child in height and was nicknamed Tina by an aunt and it stuck
Was only called Georgina by my teachers doctors etc, it’s not a bad name but not my favorite

I absolutely love it, especially Gina as a nickname x

I adore it. Reminds me of Upstairs Downstairs. Very stylish.

To the PP -Ginny could work! When you think about it, there are Margarets nicknamed Peggy, Johns nicknamed Jack, Catherines nicknamed Kate, Christophers nicknamed Kit, and Veronicas nicknamed Vera. So….Why not Georgina nickname Ginny! It’s up to you.

I love the name. I have a friend who called her child Georgina so unfortunately it is off limits for me. She nicknames her 'Georgie,' which is also really cute.
