My son’s given name is Geordie after his great grandfather from Northumberland. Wish I had named him George and then we just called him Geordie as his nickname. He was an athlete in high school and every announcer pronounced his name with a hard G. Like Gordie. When he went off to college I said let’s change your name to George and just call you Geordie. But he didn’t wanna do that. Today is his birthday. February 7. He does look like a Geordie. Not a George.
