What do you think?
Is the spelling Jorja naff?

Jorja is awful sorry, other two not to my taste either but really dislike the 'J' spelling.

Georgia

Jorja looks as though it might be pronounced "Yorya"

Is Jorga made up? Personally I think it's naff of the highest order but that is my opinion and not one that should be taken seriously if you're considering it. Honestly it isn't good though.

Jorja is terrible, everyone who ever has to spell her name will think 'oh, must have been hard for her, having illiterate parents'. Sorry but better to hear it now than after you've registered the birth!

Jorja... no!
Looks like you've only ever HEARD the name Georgia and never seen it used.
However Georgia and Georgina are lovely

Georgina - there are just so many Georgias now (although I agree it's a nice name). Am allergic to made-up spellings like Jorja!

Love Georgina because it's one of dd3's names.
Georgia is quite common here but nice.
I know a girl called Jorja and presumed she was named after some sleb. Don't like it but not sure why

Georgina or (one of my favorite names) Georgiana which you never hear.

Georgina definitely-think it has a certain 'edge' too it-sort of funky and often shortened to Georgie. Georgia is lovely but very popular it seems. As for Jorja-no,no,no!!-sounds like you're trying too hard.
