Hi
Looking for a girls name to go with sibling Eleanor plus another sister (don't want to give her name or might 'out' myself) but name is similar - relatively traditional.
Favourites are Georgina or Georgiana
Others include Marianna or Estella - but latter is probably too close to Eleanor/Ella
Any other similar names?

Oh gosh OP, I'm so so sorry to hear about your Alexander. Yes, I can imagine Alexandra might not feel like an option.
Katherine? Julia? Caroline?

God so sorry. Posted in wrong place. How do I move it?

Normal pronunciation is 'jorg-ee-ahna' as you expect by looking at the spelling.
I disagree. The GI in Georgiana makes a J sound, as the Italians say it, not a Ji, just as the CI in Luciana makes it Looch-ahna, and not Looch-i-ahna. I would pronounce it Georj-ahna as my first instinct. The fashionable way of saying it in Duchess of Devonshire times had that drawl to make it Jorj-ayna.
