Is Georgia considered 'common'

[TalkingBack]

I know it's popular (that doesn't bother us) but is it considered common (ie chav) IYO?

I really like it. We had decided on Pippa but now I'm torn! Would appreciate opinions

Haven't heard the name Georgia in a while

• Pippa is nice and I haven't heard that recently either. Plenty of Miley's out there at the moment though.

I think Georgia is considered slightly common to be honest.

Georgina or Georgiana aren't though if you like them?

I prefer all three to Pippa personally, all are a bit more elegant.

I love the name Georgia and wish I had used it - and there is nothing chav about me!

I don't think so. I don't know any. It seems quite classic to me. Not keen on Pippa.

I do prefer Georgia to Pippa, but yes you may have a point.

A few years ago a cousin brought his new girlfriend and her little Georgia along to a family party. She was completely charming. Ran along the edge of the table taking bites out of everything and throwing the food back whilst her Mum stood laughing. When we told her off she swore at us! The relationship didn't last for very long after that.

I like it, have never heard of anyone called Georgia in these parts.

Pippa is nice as well (though prefer Philippa with Pippa as a nn)

maybe a bit which is a shame as it's very nice.

Philippa is lovely, very classy and Pippa a cute nickname.

I think Georgina or the even more fabulous Georgiana are a thousand times better than Georgia

Georgiana was the name of Mr Darcy's ward, so I refuse to believe it could be considered common.

....and Georgiana is even nicer if you say it the Duchess of Devonshire way, George-Jayna.

Is Pippa not considered a very grown up name? A bit like Daisey?

I only know of one Georgia, 'tis very pretty, definitely prefer it to Pippa.

I only know one Georgia and she's a nice non-chavvy little girl.

Another nice variation is Giorgina, the italian spelling.

Pippa is nice if you're not an Archers fan

I would say Jorja is 'common' Georgia is not.

I don't like it, don't know if it's 'common'. It seems a bit dated.

Take the Times test, if you can see the name in the baby listings of the telegraph or the times, then its fine - it not, then maybe there's a reason .

So take a typical middle class name - such as, Sebastian, over the past five years there have been 124 births listed in the Telegraph over that time.

Now compare that to a stereotypical 'C' name (not saying that it is, but one that people on here consider names such as Jayden) - There is one such listing in the Telegraph over the same period.

Now look at Georgia - there are 83 results for the same period.

From that, I'd say your average middle class Telegraph reader seems happy enough to call their child Georgia, and therefore, I should think it passes the Times test

It's my (lovely) MIL's name and she'd be to be considered common . I think it's very nice.

It is my daughter's name and I love it and would never consider it to be common in either sense of the word. I come across very few other little Georgias.

Used to be ultra posh, now used across the classes, I'd say.

I agree with ElloKitty. If it appears (more than a handful of times)in the Telegraph, it's not chav.

I just searched for Bailey from January 2003 to now and there was not one birth

I like Georgia, and I really like Georgina - we considered both for DD1.

I teach a Jorghia and a Jorjha. Steer clear of that sort of business...

Sounds ok to me

I agree - Georgia classless, Jorja to be avoided.
