What are your thoughts on the name Gigi for a girl? And if it were to be a nickname which more traditional names could be used as a full name? Thanks x

Georgiana

FayCarew · 26/09/2022 08:35

No. Might be quite nice for a chihuahua though

andpeggy1 · 26/09/2022 08:47

Why not gia for a short g name

I love it as a nick name 🥰 so many names could have Gigi as a nickname as long as it starts with G! Haha

I wouldn't be able to get the film out of my head. "Thank heavens for little girls" is just about the creepiest song out there. Hard pass.

As a shortened version of something longer. By itself sounds like a horse’s name.

ofwarren · 10/10/2022 20:38

How is it pronounced? Like a horse? Gee Gee?

I think it’s super cute! Any soft G names would work.

Georgia for example is really pretty yet not too popular as far as I know :)

@watcherintherye , by you maybe, Gigi will be GeeGee and Giselle will be Jizz-elle.

No, the film is about someone training their daughter (or niece?) to become and expensive prostitute, and I can't dissociate it from that.

Choconut · 11/10/2022 15:22

Just sounds like a name for a stripper.

Thisisnotmyname2 · 11/10/2022 15:51

Nothing wrong with a name like Georgia with Gigi as a nickname. I wouldn't put Gigi on birth certificate.

newtb · 11/10/2022 16:12

I knew a Giselle who was called Gigi

formulatingAresponse · 11/10/2022 16:15

Jelena is the model 'Gigi's real name

diffandproud · 11/10/2022 16:46

Giselle is a beautiful name with the soft sounding G at the beginning Gigi would be a perfect nickname

S25 · 11/10/2022 17:37

Giovanna is another pretty name that could nn to Gigi!

shannonw123x · 15/10/2022 21:51

I love the name Gigi!

diffandproud · 16/10/2022 15:21

Gianna is also a beautiful name

peaceinourtime · 18/10/2022 23:29

It can also be used a term for grandmother. I know a few. It would be awkward if she had a friend who also calls/refers their grandmother Gigi.

But then I am bias I've just named my puppy Gigi !
Everyone I meet loves it x

Geamhradh · 22/10/2022 08:58

In Italy it's a boy's name. Short for Luigi.

Livingbestlife · 22/10/2022 12:04

Gigi is of french origin and its a girls name

ChagSameachDoreen · 22/10/2022 16:02

Stripper name.
