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?

Jor-jah. Never heard it pronounced with 3 syllables.

I would assume it's pronounced how Ray Charles sings in Georgia on my mind.

Jor ja

Two syllables

I have one friend who is pronounced Georg ee ah and the other is pronounces her name George ah. Both are spelt Georgia.

So it really depends on how you want to pronounce it really.

Jor-ja. Absolutely. The state. The name. Two syllables. Jor-ja. Not Jorg-ah.

Every Georgia/Georgina/Georgette I've ever met has just been called George, so that's something to consdier.

To me George is Britain's Most Boring Name so I personally would be wary of inadvertently giving it to my daughter.

Also on my list. But is it chavy?

Jorja

Two syllables. Don’t like it though. Georgina is much nicer.

I've never heard it pronounced with three syllables.

On my list. Love it. Never, ever heard it with three syllables and I'm a teacher so have taught a fair few Georgia's! Definitely Jor-ja.

It,s not a miidnight train to George-ee-a. Nice name, how about Georgiana. or Georgina if not sure. Or a friend has a Georgie.

It’s a lovely name. A pal has a little girl called Georgia and she gets called Gee.

I didn't know it could be pronounced with 3 syllables. It's always been George-ah or george-uh to me.

Well I regret reading this thread after some of the comments! if you want my completely unbiased and completely correct view, it's two syllables, and it's a lovely name! And Georgina and Georgiana are no more and no less "classy". They're all Greek and mean "farmer", basically.

It has 3 syllables for me, which is why I would never use it even though I quite like it, because I hear a lot of people pronouncing it another way. I also like Georgette, which can only be pronounced one way!

My dd is 24. She asked me when she was 6 why she wasn't called Georgia as she had 7 friends with the name.

George-a

Love it
