George

My husband and I love the name George, but I’m a bit nervous about it being too “old man” sounding. I think it’s super cute for a little boy, but will it be one of those names that’s rough through the teen years?

    Price William and Kate have a George, and I do think it’s cute on a little boy, but also a name that is good for an adult.

    It is an Old name, but names come back in style, and currently old man names are coming back. I know a little George, and the name is trending up. Chances are he will have multiple classmates with old man names. I have an Arthur (nn Art) so I’m biased  :) I like keeping the classic/traditional names alive vs using modern names.

    Old man names are coming back. 

    My Aaaaaa has 

    Frankie
    Johnny
    Charles
    and Tommy

    in his class of Jackson’s and Aiden spin offs.

    george imo will not stand out negatively and in fact will work well on all ages which is what you want in a name

    George feels a little old for a baby or toddler but not in a bad way.  Much better than a name that doesn’t age well. It’s cute.

    Your child will spend most of his life as an adult, George is fine. 

    Also. Fred and George Wesley. You're overthinking the age thing.

    George will be in good company. Our school has names like George, Walter, Harvey, Clyde, Frank, Floyd (nn Floydie), Howard (nn Howie) Betty, Louise, Joanie, Esther, Leona.......I could go on. George is awesome.

    George was a back up name for both of my boys.  I love it.

    I used to think it was an old man name, likely due to it being my grandfather's name, but I think it is very wearable for any age. It is a timeless classic. If DD were a boy she would have been George.
