A MUM-TO-BE picked out the ideal name for her baby but others suggested it made her sounds like a sleazy stripper.
The woman, named Katie, took to Mumsnet to ask people’s opinions of her favourite girl’s moniker.

But the Katie’s suggestion didn’t go down well with everyone, and a fair number dismissed the potential title.
She said: “What are your thoughts on the name Gigi for a girl?
“And if it were to be a nickname which more traditional names could be used as a full name?”
Fellow Mumsnet users were quick to jump in with their opinions for the mum-to-be.
One person said: “Sorry no, it’s too often used as a name for prostitutes or strippers on tv. Just too associated with sleaze.”
Another said: “I used to have a Beanie Baby poodle called Gigi. Personally I don’t love it as full name, but could work for any name beginning with G. Georgia/ Georgina/ Georgiana and Giselle.”

A third said: “Awful as a full name. But passable as a nickname. I like Georgina.”
Another said: “Reminds me of the musical and creepy Maurice Chevalier singing Thank Heaven for Little Girls.
“I’m not usually a stickler for longer formal names but Gigi seems a bit too showgirlish to be the official name. Georgina would seem to lend itself well to the Gigi nickname.”
While another said: “Not as a full name, it’s fluffy and strippery at the same time.”
