My fiancé and I are throwing names around, not expecting but planning. And boy do we have different styles. One name we both like is [name_u]Georgie[/name_u], which fits my criteria of being a little more classic and yet spunky, and her criteria of being cute and different and a little more trendy.
With that being said, neither of us like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Georgette[/name_f], [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], etc. I don’t personally think [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] needs a full name, but I thought I would toss it out to you all. We would likely double middle name with names honoring our mothers so it would be [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] or [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f].
I don’t have a problem with it- hypotheticaly if you were to call her [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] then her nn would be [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] anyways… I like it. It’s a hard pick… they both sound good, but I would go with [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
I don’t think that [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] needs to have a full name; it stands alone pretty well. I agree with pp that [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] flows better!
I think she does. I can’t picture a professional named [name_u]Georgie[/name_u]…I think it’d be better to go with something longer like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], and just call her [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] so that she’ll be able to pick what she wants to go by to her peers.
As someone whose first name does not lend itself to any nicknames or alternate forms, I would personally be inclined to err on the side of providing options.
Personally, I don’t think I’d like being just [name_u]Georgie[/name_u]. I have a long, feminine formal name and go by unisex/masculine nicknames and I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the versatility. My name looks beautiful on resumes/monograms/official paperwork, but I had the option of making my name really fit my personality.
[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] is probably my favorite [name_m]George[/name_m] name, but I like all of them. The middle names are beautiful, I think the order really depends on the surname.
I think [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] is fine on it’s own, especially if it’s the name you both love and think is the one. With the rise of nickname names as full names, [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] will fit right in.
I’ve never understood the concept of a “professional” or “grown-up” name, names grow with the individual and if [name_u]Georgie[/name_u]'s resume is as good as [name_f]Georgette[/name_f]'s no company you want to work for would make your name part of the decision making. Besides if she was really worried about it she could always go by [name_f]Helena[/name_f] or [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] which appear “more professional” to some.
As far as flow I prefer [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
In my opinion, yes I do think it needs a formal name, but I think you can get creative with how you get to the nickname. For example I think anything with a first name with a strong [name_u]JO[/name_u] sound and a middle name that either starts with a G (even if it’s not like the sound [name_m]GEE[/name_m] but pronounced with a hard G as in the word “goat”) OR has a strong [name_m]GEE[/name_m] sound, you can use the NN “[name_u]Georgie[/name_u].”
I don’t think [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] necessarily needs a full name, but I think when she’s older she might like to not go by [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] anymore. I agree with everyone else that [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is best.
If you want a full name for [name_u]Georgie[/name_u], [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] is my favorite variation, and I think [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] sounds best, though it’s a bit of a mouthful.
I also like [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], and would use [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f]. I think this is my preference out of everything.
My cousin wanted to name her daughter [name_u]Izzy[/name_u], but didn’t like the full names. She decided to err on the side of caution and named her daughter [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] so that it would read better on a future resume, and so that her daughter had the option of going for something longer in the future. She’s never been called anything but [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] though.
I don’t think there is a problem with the formal name [name_u]Georgie[/name_u]; my favorite [name_m]George[/name_m]-name for girls is [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]! I prefer the combo [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] (or [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Helena[/name_f] :P).
