What do you think?
It has received less than enthusiastic responses so far, so would like opinions.

I've never heard of it before. I think it sounds quite harsh, and wouldn't use it myself.

I think Georgina is better

Also read courgette.

Georgina or Georgiana far prettier.

One of my closest friends is called Georgette but everyone calls her Georgie (waves if she's here) - nicer lady you'd never meet

Fabric was the first thing that came to my mind too

Its a material (sort of transparenty) so thats all it would remind me of, sorry. Georgiana is lovely and old fashioned if a bit of a mouthful, Georgia is a really common name now and Georgina reminds me of the famous five and a mean estate agent i once knew

Sounds like a brand of mini-pill.

Reminds me of Lillets (sorry). I prefer Georgina, or Georgiana.

I associate it with Georgette Heyer, so it conjours up nothing but lovely thoughts!
