Is georgette usable??

[Coolcat1234]

I love the names George and Etta/Ettie for a girl and came across the name Georgette and I haven’t found any other threads about it. What sibling names would you pair it up with? And what would you she for middle names?

Georgette is what I call my dog when she is being demanding and fussy . ( Oliver & Company )

I know a wonderfully glamorous French Georgette who is in her 90s
I love the name

I find it retro-sounding, along with most other -ette names like Annette, Claudette and Paulette (Colette, for some reason, seems more timeless). There's nothing wrong with Georgette, but it isn't a name I would personally choose.

I also wonder how you feel about "George" or "Georgie" as nicknames because that's what people will probably use.

I have no idea about the cultural references people have mentioned - so in the basis of the name alone, I like it :)

You do realise she'll be called George all her life ?

@Runmybathforme I do quite like George as a nickname and also Etta

Georgetta

When I saw your post I immediately thought no don't do it and came on to say just that. However have been rolling it around and it's growing on me!

A clunky version of Georgia or Georgina.

Courgette.

Sorry OP, not keen (I like Etta though).

I went to school with a Georgette.

Pretty name, easy spelling and pronunciation, classic but unusual.

Fabric

I like it. She will be called Georgie or George for short so if you don't like these then don't consider it.

Another Georgette Heyer fan (although I read the books about 50 years ago, maybe it's time to reread them) so I like it.

I wonder if I would like them as much as I remember, maybe I should leave them as happy memories.

It is, indeed, a fabric.

My first thought was the fabric.

Not necessarily - I know 2 and one is always called Jet, the other only ever the full Georgette. Neither has ever been shortened to George

I had a friend called Georgette at school. So I like it. (I am now wondering if she is @DramaAlpaca 's friend!)

I had never heard of Georgette fabric either...

It's really lovely. Wouldn't have thought of courgette!
Although that brought to mind the name Colette which you might also like?

Immediately Courgette came to mind.

Jorja is a version of Jeorjia (

I think of georgette from oliver in company. Its a nice name.

I think it's a beautiful name!

Love Jet as a NN
