Georgie - which long name?

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 like Georgette best. I don't dislike Georgiana but I think people will often read it as Georgina anyway, because that's more familiar - but that might not be relevant if you intend to call her Georgie all the time.

I prefer Georgia.

Georgiana is too fussy for me plus it has more than one pronunciation which is something I steer clear of in names.

Georgeanne and Georgine are French versions, I think. Any good?

I love Georgiana!
And I also really like the use of Vika instead of Vicki

Georgiana is beautiful

Both names are very nice. I prefer Georgia though.

I vote for Georgiana, like Mr Darcy's sister - it's so glamorous and lovely.

Georgina is fine but it's a very 80s name. When I was a kid everyone seemed to have a little sister called Georgina.

I like Vika, hadn't heard that before. The Russians I've known went by Vitya instead.

Georigiana is great. Georgia is very Essex now. Georgette is ghastly.

Georgiana was your first thought and a perfectly lovely name for the certificate.
