Re: WDYTO George?
in reply to a message by Murasaki
As the mom of a young George (he's six and a half), I don't find it at all old man-ish. That could be in part because my aunt Georgiana has been called George for ages. I've only heard of two other young George's so despite its ranking in the U.S. I wouldn't consider it boring or overused. I have heard of more Georgia's lately though. I'm very fond of most of the girl versions, too. (And George as a nn for a Georgia is too cute!)
I'm not reminded of Dubya, but again, that could be because I am the mom of a George, he is what automatically comes to mind when I hear it. Well, him and the curious little monkey, of course. We do call him Georgie, and its terribly cute, imo. :)
