HelpGeorgie on a girl.
This is a name spotting. I overheard a conversation today at a children's museum between two mothers about one's daughter's name. Her little girl (very young, under a year) was named Georgie. She explained that her father's name was George (so the baby's grandfather) and he didn't have any sons so that's why she named her daughter Georgie. I thought the sentiment was really sweet. Even though I think a more feminine form of the name George would have worked just as well, like Georgia or Georgiana, Georgette, Georgina, etc... Although technically I suppose Georgie is unisex as it works as a nickname for any number of George names, male and female.
I thought the name was cute, if not my style and I think it's better as a nickname. It was kind of refreshing to hear though, not a name you encounter every day, especially on a baby.
WDYT?

Igby: The kind of name that someone named 'Sookie' is in no position to question."

I love Georgie, but I definitely prefer it as a nn for Georgina (my mn & very used family name). My Mom's maiden name was Washington, so I always call her Georgie W.

I think Georgie is horrible as a formal name for a boy or a girl, as it's much too nickname and immature sounding. It's completly masculine sounding to me. They should have gone with Georgia or Georgianna to honor the Father.
