GiGi getting too common?

Mommynina9 · June 2014

We'd like to name our next one Genevieve Grace. I thought occasionally calling her GiGi is cute. But, is it getting too common? My son has a GiGi in his class currently. Do you guys all know a GiGi?

Only Gigi girls I know are from Gilmore Girls (later character Georgia) and Grandmas are sometimes called Gigi. I think it's an adorable nickname. The three ladies I know named Genevieve go by Gen, Jenna and Genny.

The only Gigi I know is an older woman so no, I haven't come across the name often at all.

I know one, but I don't think it's super common and I love it!

I know a little girl named Giovanni/GiGi, a Gerald jr they call GiGi, and my grandma wants to be called GiGi now.

I think you're safe.

I love that name and that movie. I would go for it!

My daughter calls my mom Gigi. My mom refused to be called grandma and thinks she is younger than she is. But, it is nice to have a different name since she already had a Grandma lined up. That way she doesn't get confused on who we are talking about.

My boys call my mom GG (GiGi). Since they have 2 grandma's we offered them the chance to be called something else if they wanted for clarification. My mom has a friend who is called GG, which is short for Gorgeous Grandma

She and my MIL love that they both have their own 'name'. That being said, I've never met anyone that actually went by GiGi on a daily basis. I think you're pretty safe with that nickname!

I don't know any Gigis. It reminds me of the movie GiGi. I like it!

DD's name is Giana so my SO and Gramma call DD, Gigi. Also, my gramma wants to be called GG by her because it stands for Great-Gramma.

I don't think it's too popular at least not where I've lived. Go for it if that's what you love!

I know 2. One is in her 50s. Another in her 40s, but she's philipino and her name is Gesmalla, goes by Gigi. Go for it!!

I've never met someone named Gigi, my mother-in-law is also called GiGi.

My son has a Gigi in his class as well. I think it's cute though.

enitsirkz · June 2014

That's an adorable name, and it has other nicknames anyway. I'd go for it!

And I haven't heard of any Gigis

When my brother had his daughter we started calling my stepdads mom G.G. Short for Great Grandma. That's the only one I know. I think it's adorable for a little girl.

I know one. Her name is Katrina so I have no idea where the nn GiGi came from lol my kids also call there stepgrandma GG

pushgal84 · June 2014

The only GiGi I know is a fabulous/stylish woman with it all in her 30's. I think the popularity of the name might be regional with more instances on the east coast where there is a larger Italian population. Not sure where you're from, but something to consider if you're worried about popularity.

My friend's one year old DD is Gianna but they call her GiGi.

I am a teacher and I have had two Gigis in the past 13 years...one was a Giselle and the other one, I can't remember, I just swear that I had another one at some point. I did have the Giselle Gigi for two years in a row, so maybe that's what I am thinking of;) Go for it!
