Georgie - which long name?

We’ve decided on Georgie for dd2 and are now trying to decide which long name to use on the birth certificate (please no lectures about not giving your child a name you’re not going to call them by, it’s what we want to do and what we’ve decided on).

I really dislike Georgina - I just hate the ‘Gina’ part of it.

So that leaves us with Georgia and Georgiana. We both instinctively prefer Georgiana, but we’re wondering if others would consider it a little pretentious?

If it’s relevant, our dd1 is called Victoria, nn Vika (the Russian shortening as dh is half Russian and we both hate Vicky and Torie!)

What made you choose Georgie, if you don’t mind me asking?

Georgiana is a lovely name and I also much prefer the nn Vika for Victoria than the normal one used.

Georgiana is wonderful.

Just say when you announce the birth this is gerogiana who'll be known as Georgie.

How do you pronounce Georgiana?

Always wondered.

I know a couple of Georgianas and think it’s a lovely name.

Georgiana

Georgiana matches well with Victoria.

Though you will definitely have a Vicky and George in ten years time!

Georgiana is lovely and so different.
