Gregory is a lovely boys name (plus has Greek origins) and Geraldine or Giselle is a lovely girls name.

DH has a Scottish friend called Gregor which really suits him.

I've always thought Georgiana is much nicer than Georgina because of the soft J pronunciation in the middle

I quite like Giselle

Gaia is lovely…
Georgia (not mentioned)
Georgiana is lovely (Brontë-esque)
Greta is cute (Sound of Music)
Geraldine is quite “60s” but nice.
Gladys goes a bit beyond in terms of the old lady names which are so popular these days, IMO a bit ugly. Sorry!
I can’t think of many boys apart from George. Also like Gerard.

Gereon, the name of a German saint (male), somehow appeals....may be associated with Gerontius, as in Dream of..

Giorgos

Georgiana

FireEngine25 · 12/11/2026 16:10

I LOVE Gaia.

I also like the idea of two G-names together for a girl, and calling her Gigi - e.g. Gaia Genevieve.

I like Griffin for a boy.
