My friend who is due to give birth to a little girl very soon, has asked my honest opinion on the choice of name.

She wants to call her Georgia, but spell it one of the above ways. I did tell her I wasn't keen on these, think it's a lovely name but should be spelt "Georgia".

She seemed quite offended, , and thinks the "Georgia" spelling is to conventional. Any opinions? Didn't want to upset her, was just stating a fact!

They may look like made up names, but there's an actress, Jorja Fox, born in 1968--so not a recently made up name.

I kinda like it, but yes, she'll be dooming the kid to a lifetime of misspelling/correcting people.

I think Georgia is better as she will constantly be asked to spell it or others will spell it incorrectly on forms which she will then have to change - also Jorja and Jorga look like made up names.
