Georgia and pronunciation?

[Moonbaby92]

What does everyone think of the name Georgia? I've also heard it pronounced with the 'ia' slightly pronounced, as if it has 3 syllables. How would you pronounce it?

What?

George- uh

2 syllables. Lovely name.

Jor-ja

George ee a. 3 syllables

Two syllables. I’m not keen on it.

I prefer Georgina.

George ee ah

I just think The Beatles ‘and Georgia’s always on my miiiiind’ Geor-ja to me.

I’ve known one George -ee-uh but it want spelt Georgia.

George-a... boring and dated name x

Jorg a

It's a lovely name. How it's pronounced by people around you will very much depend on what part of the country you're in.
To me it has three syllables but I'm aware that's because of my regional accent.

Jor-ja

I’ve known quite a few and never heard of your pronunciation

I'd just say 'Jor-ja', two syllables. Nice name, so what that it was popular in the 80s/ 90s?

I do slightly prefer Georgina though.

Two syllables. I've never heard it pronounced any other way

Not keen on the 2 syllable version but the 3 is hideous!!!

Jor-ja.

I had a friend named Georgiana - Jorjy-ana (emphasis on the first A) loved her name.

George a

While you'd think logically it should be 3 syllables like Julia, Lydia etc, I've only ever heard it said as Jor-ja (even on TV when people are talking about the US state or the Country, so 3 syllables would sound a bit odd to me).

I would say jor-gee-ah, with an emphasis on the jor, with the gee-ah almost run together, almost jor-jahh but not quite.

I love it.

I've only ever heard it pronounced like jor-ja

Jorja, never heard it pronounced with 3 syllables. I've spent quite a lot of time in Georgia, that state rather than the country and never heard it with 3 syllables maybe a southern drawl but never 3 syllable.

Two syllables.

I don't like it at all.

Georgina or Georgiana are beautiful and much classier.

Oh, and I agree with pp - even though I usualIy love -ia ending names, I actually prefer the more traditional Georgina (or if feeling brave, the beautiful Austen-esque Georgiana). For some reason Georgia feels a bit 90's to me. You could also consider Julia? (has a slightly similar sound to Georgia but is more classic).

Only ever heard it as two syllables: jor-jah

Lovely name and in my opinion fresher sounding than Julia, Georgina, which are more 90's.
