Georgina
It's the name of one of the girls that was kidnapped in Ohio, but I thought it's a pretty / interesting name and plenty of nicknames like Gina. What do you think?

I'm not a huge fan of "ina" names; they're too cutesy for me. I do like George names in general, though. Georgeanne is probably my favorite.

I prefer Georgia. Georgina is too frilly for me, but I like how it isn't overused.

I like Georgina but I don't like Gina at all. I would probably use Georgie as a nickname. A lot of people prefer Georgia, but I think Georgina is more classic and refined.

I like it very much indeed - by far my preferred female version of George, and you're totally right about its nn potential. I'd use it as a mn rather than an fn, but I would certainly consider it. Helen Georgina and Ruth Georgina spring to mind, but there are many other options out there.

I think it's a bit old-fashioned, but hardly objectionable. (I don't really like Gina, though.) I prefer Georgiana, actually.

I like it best of the female George names. Gina is cute although I prefer Gigi.

I prefer Georgiana. Georgina seems a bit unfinished to me.

As the George girls' names go, it's probably the best, but I can't say I like it. It has a doofy, cartoonish quality to it, like a lot of ina or etta names.
