So I've been watching a lot of 'Dead Like Me' lately; the main character's name is Georgia, nn George.  I've never been fond of the name George, esp. on a girl... though, come to think of it, in the original Nancy Drew novels, one of her girl friends was called George, and I think I liked it then, when I was younger.   I've never really liked state names ((Virginia, Dakota, etc.)) on people either, although they might have started out as people names ((I honestly wouldn't know, but that's what I assume)). 

However, Georgia, and George ((for a girl)), have grown on me, so much that I feel it may make an appearance on my top 20 list.  Georgia feels classic and elegant to me, very stately ((no pun intended...)) with a rather timeless charm; also, I've always been a big unisex name person and have come to like the idea of a girl named George ((maybe it's just the tv show)). 

So, anyway, I was curious what ya'll thought.

Bonus question: ^ ^  Her sister's name is Reggie.  They never say if it's a nickname or not.  I don't really like it at all.  WDYT?

Georgia is one of my top names. A few years ago, I saw John Hubbley's "Cockaboody" short, featuring his daughters Georgia and Emily. At one point, he captured Georgia singing "Georgie Porgie" to herself and it was almost too cute to exist. Before that, I had always thought of Georgia as a no-nickname name, but I think now that I'd probably end up going with Georgie if I were feeling playful.

I wouldn't name a human girl George (or a boy, actually), but I've always wanted to get a female cat and call her George.
