Georgina or Georgiana

[noramelon]

Just that really... which do you prefer? What do either name make you think of... etc...

Georgiana is lovely. There is also Georgia.

I love Georgia but I think it depends if you'll going to use the full name or something like Georgie. I prefer Georgiana though it is more likely to be misspelt and mis pronounced.

I know a Georgiana, everyone pronounced it slightly differently and she has to spell it out constrain the phone

I like Georgiana, it’s prettier than Georgina but I prefer Georgia to both.

I wouldn't use Georgiana nowadays just because I have recently found out that some people think it's pronounced George-AY-na (which is not at all what the letters in the right order spell) whereas I still think it should be George-ee-AH-na like it always used to be. I might just consider using Georgina (if I didn't already have a DS with George as one of his names) but I actually think Georgette is the nicest name in the whole bunch.

Georgiana is a great name! An absolutely fabulous! The best name! It might even be my name. 😆 It does need correcting a lot but to honest unless it's someone I'm going to know for a while, medical records or someone's being rude to me I'm happy to go by Georgina as well.

I prefer Jessica as I like Jess as a nickname.

im not a fan of Jenni/Jenny and Jennifer will ultimately get shortened to that.

I know it's not exactly answering the OP question but I think Georgie is a lovely name for a girl. Or even George. Perhaps that's my naive hope that we can be gender fluid with names.

I prefer the sound of the name Georgiana but I think spelling it would be a bit of a nightmare and it’s a bit of a mouthful to say, so for that reason I’d go with Georgina. They’re both lovely names though.

No idea how you're supposed to say Georgiana.

Georgina

@user1846385927482658 , me neither. I thought it was Jorjaina or Jorjana but I think people say Georgie-A(r)na
Georgina seems less complicated

I like them both (especially if Georgiana is pronounced Geor-jane-a), but I prefer Georgina. It's a beautiful name.

Strong Georgiana preference. Very Duchess of Devonshire. Much prettier to look at. Pronounced Geoge-jane-a. Georgie is cute too.

Georgiana is dreadful - far too fussy. I much prefer Georgina.

Georgiana sounds rather pretentious to me. I don't like 4 syllable names as they are too fussy IMO. All her friends will probably call her Georgie anyway I suppose.

Geor-jay-na is correct. It isn’t Georgy-arna.

Georgiana. I reminds me of Darcys sister in pride and prejudice 🥰

I like both but think Georgia is just more fresh and modern. Still classic though :)

Both names are very pretty!

I agree with a previous poster, Georgiana makes me think of Georgiana Darcy, Mr Darcy's sister in "Pride and Prejudice.

Georgiana is georgy-ahna really, this is the normal pronunciation. George-ay-na was just an affected pronunciation that became popular for a while around the time the Duchess of Devonshire lived (the one in the film with Keira Knightley).

I find Georgiana too long and fussy really. Georgina flows much better.

Georgiana is preferred, however you will be forever correcting those who insist on pronouncing it Georgie-ahna

Oh do go with Georgiana! We need a Regency revival.😊

I have a Georgia.

When she was born I didn't like the nn Gina.

However, 19 years on I really think Georgina and Gina as an nn is lovely.

I think you'll always get people who ask how any name is spelt these days.

She's often had Goergia, Jorja, Giorga and yes we are in the UK! 😫

That doesn't surprise me, @QueeniePlumtree . Lots of people will transpose vowels. A close family member has a 6-letter name, 3 of which are vowels, and the misspellings are impressive. The consonants are usually in the right place but the vowels move around randomly (a bit like if Kayden was written Kyaden, Keydan, Kaedyn, Kaydden etc)

**I don't have any relative called Kayden
