Jorge or Nicolas?

[BlueSand2017]

Thanks

We just can't decide! Jorge or Nicolas?

Nicolas

Is Jorge pronounced the same as George? If so, unless you're from or connected to a country where Jorge is the normal spelling, I'd go for George.

No, it's pronounced differently.

It depends, Jorge as in Jor-ge or Jorge as in Hor-hay?
I like Jorge the Portuguese way but not keen on the Spanish way.
So Jorge if it's like George but Nicolas if it's like hor-hay.

If you help us out and tell us how it's pronounced we can give an opinion....

Are you from a country where those are the conventional spellings?

If it were George or Nicholas, I'd chose Nicholas.

Not hor-hay. Too much potential for name games in teens.

If you're in England-I would say neither. They will constantly be spelt or pronounced incorrectly. I love both George and Nicholas though.

Zhor-zhe (we would pronounce it similar to that )

Nicolas

I love Jorge the way you've just said you would pronounce it OP. Really lovely far nice room than George.

Nicer* not 'nice on' at autocorrect.

Nice room even! Ffs I give up. My phone hates me clearly.

I would steer well clear of foreign names that are too different. We have a Thiago and a Mateus. People in England had no trouble but Zhor-zag is a real mouth full for England. If he's going to school in England he will just grow up saying "just call me George". I'd go with Nicolas Jorge.

If you're in England I would steer clear of Jorge unless you want it pronounced George as that's how everyone will end up saying it, even if you correct them.

My daughter has a Greek name and it's very similar to a name in the Uk and everyone just calls her by a nickname as they can't get their head around it being different.

If you're in England definitely Nicholas

Will your child be growing up in the UK?

On the other hand if you're planning to move then go with Jorge. Zhor-zhe is clearly a preference and nicer than the Hor-hay that I heard in Mexico. I assume your Spanish speaking, which kind of Spanish do you speak?

I prefer Nicolas.

We're originally from Portugal.

I actually love Jorge with the Portuguese pronunciation and think it's much easier for your average English speaker to handle than the Spanish way. Probably because I know a lovely Portuguese Jorge and everyone seems fine with his name.

We had a Spanish Jorge at work for a while and my boss constantly called him Jor-Gay. It's was awful.

Agree with others to avoid Jorge as a first name if your son is going to be brought up in UK.
Nicholas Jorge is the better option.

It won't be Nicholas...

We're originally from Portugal.

I thought all Portuguese speakers pronounced Jorge like Jor-je! Are you from the Spanish border? Interesting!

Nicolas is also fine though will invariably be spelt with the H by some...
