Hey all,

First post here.

Just out of curiosity, what do you all think of the name Georgia (for a girl, obviously!)? I used to HATE any female versions of George (ie: Georgette), and I don't like the name George at all, but Georgia is growing on me.

very weird!

i've been stuck on georgia for the past month or so

i really love it.

I sort of have a soft spot for a few state names, mainly Virginia and Georgia. I probably wouldn't use them, though. They seem awfully old ladyish.

Same here. Virginia is my grandmother's name & I would love to incorperate it somehow into my child's name.. mainly as a middle name.. but Virginia doesn't seem to work to well as a middle name. I went to high school with a really pretty, popular girl named Virginia who went by Ginny, but like you said.. I just can't get past the old ladyish-ness of it.

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

I think Ginny is kind of a cute nickname. :)

Ahh, that's so weird that you mention that! I've always loved the name Virginia as well. But generally I don't like the place names trend like Paris, etc. But Virginia and Georgia are nice and classic I think.

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those are the only two place names I like (at least off the top of my head).

[krosp.livejournal.com]

They would've been names before those states were named though, right?

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

Paris was a name before it was a place, also.

georgia is a really pretty name. i like it a lot.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Pretty. I wouldn't use it, but I don't dislike it either. It's grown on me since William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman named their daughter Georgia. I also used to talk to someone online whose little girl was named Georgia JingBin. They called her Gia for short, which I think is adorable.
Also, my dog's name is Georgette. Heh. I usually call her Georgie or Jory, though.

[ewaeva.livejournal.com]

It's a wonderful name.

[imyourrapunzel.livejournal.com]

I have a cousin named Georgia. I really like the name.

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

I really like the name Georgia. I was friends with a girl named Georgia last year and she was sweet, so I think highly of the name.

[kaleido-scope.livejournal.com]

Thanks everyone for the input!

I do like it, but I would never give to a child - probably not even as a middle name - because of the state and country connection.

[kaleido-scope.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it was a country!

[muliebrity.livejournal.com]

Don't feel bad, it's not really a big or important country (no offense to any Georgians out there!)

[kaleido-scope.livejournal.com]

Oh, but I live in Canada, not the States, so the fact that it's a statte wouldn't be a huge deal.

I worked in a child care center where a little girl was named Georgia. She was one and a half and it was such a cute name and adult name for such a little girl. The one thing I didn't like was that she was called "GiGi" a lot as a nickname.

[kaleido-scope.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't really like any nicknames that would be used for Georgia... I wouldn't let anyone shorten it!

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

It's not something I like enough to use myself, but it's pretty and I'd probably compliment it on someone else's daughter.

[baby-gidget.livejournal.com]

I love it! What a beautiful name. :)

[quiet-recluse.livejournal.com]

It's alright on the right person, but I don't really like it personally just because it's not my style.

[n0kittie.livejournal.com]

Love it. I want to name my kids Georgia. All of them. Pets, too.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I feel the EXACT same way as you do....

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I used to hate it, too, but I really like it now. It's grown on me as well. :)

[chaoticblues.livejournal.com]

What about Jorja? Like from CSI...

[kaleido-scope.livejournal.com]

I thought of that, but I decided I don't like it. I tend to like the normal spellings of names instead of "unique" spellings.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I didn't like it for a long time but now i do. I pronounce it george-uh, but i have heard it George-ee-uh. I don't actually like the name George for a boy so it's surprising i like Georgia.

I think it's adorable. I used to dislike it, but now I think it's too cute.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

There's also Georgina.

I like Georgette.... the fabric :]
