Baby Names

Is it too weird?

To name our DD Georgia if my DH's name is George?  I'm not a fan of Juniors or anything like that, but we really like Georgia and our biggest hesistation is that it is kind of like a Junior for a girl.  Am I overthinking this?

  • Not too weird.  My favorite variant of George is Georgiana, which might be slightly less confusing when you are calling out one of their names and they both respond.

  • i think it's too similar and they'll always be both saying "what?!?" when you say their names... it is like a junior thing.. but alot of people do juniors too

    Yes I like it Yes

    It's a little different when it's a feminized version of the name. I doubt you'll get as many mix-ups! And remember, it is a DIFFERENT name.

    This!!

  • I think the feminized versions are fun. The history is a bit sexist (in ancient Rome, all girls were named after their fathers - Cornelia, Julia, etc), but today it's just nice, IMO. If I liked the name Olivia, I'd use it on a girl so she could be named after DH.

  • I don't think it's weird, but I do think it will be similar to a Junior.  Like a pp mentioned, I think there could be confusion.

  • I think it's a great idea.  Just don't name a future boy George.  I know a family where the dad and son are Frederick and go by Fred, and the daughter is Fredericka and goes by Freddie.  Thta's too much.
  • I think it is really sweet! Georgia is one of those names that I like, but wouldn't use IRL because it doesn't work with my last name.
