How does one pronounce Georgiana, is it one n or Georgianna? Also is it a better middle name for Matilda than Georgina?

It's a version of a family name we need to include, don't really like Georgina or Georgia but do like Georgiana. Just want whatever version fits best with first name Matilda!

Agree with LizzieVereker on the pronunciation.

I also think it's a bit too fussy a middle name for Matilda.

Think Matilda Georgiana flows better than Matilda Georgina (how I pronounce it it does anyway!) :)

It's supposed to be Jor-jay-nah but you will have people telling you it's Jor-je-arr-nah.

I'd say:

Jee-or-jee-ah-na

Slight emphasis on the ah.

PandaFeet · 21/02/2014 21:50

Jor-jay-nah.

I love it and would love to use it, but the child would spend their life correcting peoples pronunciation, so I can't.

I think it's usually pronounce Jaw- jay-nah.

But I think Jaw-gee-arn-ah is prettier.

juneybean · 21/02/2014 21:40

I think its Geor-jayna but I'm not sure

BrennanHasAMangina · 21/02/2014 21:39

Jor-jee-anna. It's one name.
