Comments and insights on the name Georgia

The feminine form of George

Country singer Zack Brown and his wife recently named their baby Georgia. Sweet Georgia Brown. Aww. I think It's a really beautiful southern name which I would use if I had roots in the south, too bad I was born in New Jersey.

Georgia may be used today to honor either the U.S. state of Georgia, or the country of Georgia (previously a part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). The latter's history can be traced back to the ancient kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia, and it was also one of the first countries to adopt Christianity as an official religion.

Georgia (along with George) is a very common name among Greek-speaking people.

I’m from Georgia. (country one)

Personal experiences with the name Georgia

When I was in college, the girl in the dorm room next to mine was named Georgia. When the clock turned midnight on her 21st birthday, her boyfriend decided to blast every song with the word/name "Georgia" in it. I was okay with "Georgia on My Mind," then "Why, Georgia, Why?," then "Midnight Train to Georgia," but, oh my God, do you realize how many songs there are with the word "Georgia" in them? I had no idea. The ordeal went on for half an hour. It was an incredibly annoying night.

In my grade there are 2 Georgia's, and I know a lot of other Georgia's, it is a very common name.

My name is Georgia, and I'm 30 years old. To date, I have only met 7 other people with this name my entire life. I grew up in New England, where the name is quite rare. I've always loved it. It's old fashioned and feminine, but still a very strong, bold name. I was named after the British singer, Georgia Brown.

Hi! My name is Georgia!! I am 13 years old :) I was looking for baby names for a school project and so I thought I should look up my name. I live in Florida and there aren't many Georgia's here: I'm the only one in my school. I like my name, I would never change it. I'm named after my grandfather George. He has passed but my mom says I look a lot like him, and I do. So if you're looking for a good baby name, you've found one, along with Eliza, Caroline or Harrison. Those are my siblings names!! ;P

My name is Georgia. My sisters names are Chloe and Sophia. My middle name is Elizabeth. My mom named me Georgia because she liked it. I'm 12, by the way. I was going to be named Reagan, Vivian, or Phoebe, but it came to Georgia. I have never ever met anyone with this name, but now it is getting more and more popular, so who knows. But I'm homeschooled, so the chances of me meeting someone is low. I like my name, but as soon as my mom told me that I was gonna be named Vivian, I wish I was. But oh well. Georgia is quite a good name !

My name is Georgia Michelle named after my mom Chloe Michelle. I have two brothers named Lucas and Conlan. I have only met one other Georgia, but she went by Georgie most of the time. When I was younger my mom called me Jo and still to this day she uses the nickname once and awhile. Overall, I love my name.
