Georgie - which long name?

[Nacmonalds]

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!)

I love Georgiana

Georgiana is lovely and so different.

Georgiana matches well with Victoria.

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

Georgiana

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

How do you pronounce Georgiana?

Always wondered.

Georgiana is wonderful.

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

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

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

I think Georgie is not really a shortening of Georgia, so I’d go with Georgiana.

Georgiana is lovely.

Have you considered Georgette? I've always thought it was a beautiful, timeless name.

Georgiana is just as beautiful & timeless too though.

Georgiana is lovely

How do you pronounce Georgiana?

We would be pronouncing it Georgie-arna with the biggest stress on the ‘ar’.

Georgiana - Georgie. Very nice.

(Though she might choose later to be a George, a Gigi, a Giana, or an Ana.)

If she's called Georgia she won't really go by Georgie I don't think

If she's called Georgia she won't really go by Georgie I don't think

I know two Georgies who are both actually Georgia!
I much prefer Georgia to Georgiana, which I do think sounds a little pretentious

I prefer Georgia, Georgiana is quite fussy

Georgiana

I like both! Sorry not helpful. Probably prefer Georgia.

I know a Georgiana. Lovely name.

Why do you need to christen her anything other than Georgie? Its a beautiful name on its own. I have one and i wouldnt go for, and didnt go, for any other name on her birth certificate.
Fabulous name.

Sorry, just re read your post. Dont mean to offend, but genuinely dont understand why the name on the BC cant be Georgie.

I prefer Georgia. I didn't know Georgiana was pronounced with an 'ar' sound , really dislike that sorry

Love Georgiana.
