Here's my my 2 cents as a GA native....LOVE it...so southern, so traditional and I love you paired it with Grace....another favorite of mine.

Congrats on a healthy baby girl with a beautiful southern name!

I love the name! It is beautiful. My friend just had her baby girl and she was like you ( kinda worried about her name and if she would get made fun of) But both of you went with ur gut! I love it ma'am! Good luck and Bless your heart!

I had a friend whose parents would use the 'city of conception' for their childrens' middle names...my friend's middle name was Evanston, and his sisters' were Nice and Acapulco.

It's a good thing conception didn't occur in Thunder Bay, Ontario; Fertile, Minnesota; Climax, Georgia; Deep Gap, Tennessee; Thong, UK; Pecker's Point, Newfoundland; Knockerdown, UK; Mount Mee, Australia; Clap Hill, UK; Bastard, Norway; Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan; Big Ugly, West Virginia; Zzyzx, California; or some other place with an unusual name.

I know i am late to the game, but in case someone reads this later on...

1. my name is georgia (so i have good authority on the topic)
2. georgia is not southern; it is a greek name -- please do not classify my beautiful name as 'southern' just because there happens to be a state in the United States...
3. it would be EXTREMELY cruel to name your child georgia in the state of georgia; i grew up in new jersey and was teased all throughout school (to the point where my nickname was alabama -- and that was used on a regular basis)

it took me a long time to love my name, which i do, but my name is a family name -- my parents had a strong reason to give it to me (after my grandmother). but to live in GA and name your kid GA -- that's asking for trouble...

Nothing wrong with the name Georgia at all. It's certainly refreshing among the millions of babies being named Brittney, Emily, and names where the parents take a last name and make it a first name. When did the last names of former Presidents like McKinley become girl's first names?

I'm having a girl in december and naming her Georgia May

You should make her middle name Bulldog.

Georgia Bulldog

That would be awesome, as long as she lived around Athens!

Ok, I am also late, but, Georgia is a wonderful name. And as a bonus, there is that wonderful Ray Charles song that can be hers. You couldn't say that if you named your daughter something like Massachusetts. Now that would have been cruel.
