Jenna My husband is insisting we name our son George, its a tradition in his family. I just can't bring myself to name a baby George in 2007!! 1930 I can see, but its just not a modern name! Amber My husband is George, He is the 5th george in his family. If we are having a boy it will be another little Georgie...Georgie Porgie! :) Soo cute.
