[Opinions] George
George is a family name (grandfather's name, brother and father's mn; Georgette is the mn of my living maternal great-grandmother) and I've been thinking about it lately, and whether I'd use it on a child. WDYTO George? What would you pair George with out of my top names:Theodore nn Theo
William nn Will
Leopold nn Leo
Edwin nn Win
Thomas
Henry
Rupert
Charlie (probably short for Charles)
Robin
Laurence nn LaurieSylvia
Hazel
Rosemary nn Romy, Rosy
Matilda nn Tilly
Henrietta nn Etta
Jemima nn Jem
Magdalene nn Maggie, Lena
Lily
Ingrid
Katharine nn KateAnd if you'd like to make some George combos, that would be awesome.

Aw, fantastic to have a living great-grandmother. I love George, it's such a friendly name. All the names you've chosen are nice - it's very hard to choose a sibset, but maybe George, William and Matilda, or George, Rupert and Jemima. George goes nicely with all of your names as a combo, but George Charles, George Henry and George Lawrence would be my top choices.Other combos:
George Arthur
George Albert
George Frederick
George Miles
George Philip
George Oswald
George Victor
George Duncan
George Wystan

Honestly, I think George goes fabulously with all of your top names. It's another old is new name, but it still feels old to me even though I know a young George.I particularly like the pairing of George with Edwin and Jemima.George Thomas
George Arthur
George Rohan
George Marco
George Andrew
George Russell
George Edgar
George Richard
George Daniel
George Silas
George Julian
George Alfred
George Samuel
George Augustine

Would you use it as a fn or a mn? Presumably a mn, since you give nns for Theodore, William, Leopold, Edwin, Charles and Laurence. I think it's perfectly usable and sounds good with most of the names on your list. My preferences would be for George Theodore, William George, George Edwin, Rupert George, Robin George (probably the best) and George Laurence (though I knew an irritating George once, ln Lawrence). But this would depend on the ln.For a girl, georgette is a fabric in my life, but I am very fond of Georgina. Georgina Rosemary; Georgina Magdalen (without the -e on the end) and Georgina Katharine flow well. I've always rather fancied Ruth Georgina. Of course you can use Georgette with any of your choices that end in -a, but it still sounds wrong to me!

I have a son called George. Love the name.
Should I have another son he would be Henry, followed by Charles "Charlie". All of the names on your boys list would make a delightful brother to George.
For a sister I would pick Rosemary or Ingrid, though Katharine, Sylvia, or Magdalene would sound lovely as well. For some reason I love George with E mns (my son is George Elliot).George Emmett
George Percival
George William
George Arthur
George Nicholas
George Gregory
George Edmond
George Anthony
George Silas
George Ethan
George Ezra
George Daniel
George Austin
