Georgia and pronunciation?

42 replies

What does everyone think of the name Georgia? I've also heard it pronounced with the 'ia' slightly pronounced, as if it has 3 syllables. How would you pronounce it?

Jor-ja.

I had a friend named Georgiana - Jorjy-ana (emphasis on the first A) loved her name.

Not keen on the 2 syllable version but the 3 is hideous!!!

purpleme12 · 28/11/2020 23:54

Two syllables. I've never heard it pronounced any other way

I'd just say 'Jor-ja', two syllables. Nice name, so what that it was popular in the 80s/ 90s?

I do slightly prefer Georgina though.

Jor-ja

I’ve known quite a few and never heard of your pronunciation

MintChocAddict · 28/11/2020 23:36

It's a lovely name. How it's pronounced by people around you will very much depend on what part of the country you're in.
To me it has three syllables but I'm aware that's because of my regional accent.
