What do you think?
Is the spelling Jorja naff?

Jorja is awful sorry, other two not to my taste either but really dislike the 'J' spelling.

LesAnimaux · 09/10/2008 14:19

Georgia

Jorja looks as though it might be pronounced "Yorya"

RubySlippers · 09/10/2008 14:19

yep - Jorja is super naff

i know a gorgeous Georgia

i like it

gingerninja · 09/10/2008 14:20

Is Jorga made up? Personally I think it's naff of the highest order but that is my opinion and not one that should be taken seriously if you're considering it. Honestly it isn't good though.

Jorja is terrible, everyone who ever has to spell her name will think 'oh, must have been hard for her, having illiterate parents'. Sorry but better to hear it now than after you've registered the birth!

Jorja???? No No No!

Its ok,i suspected as much
Someone suggested it to DP and he really liked it-one of the actresses off CSI spells it like this apparently.
I reaaly like Georgia though

Jorja... no!
Looks like you've only ever HEARD the name Georgia and never seen it used.
However Georgia and Georgina are lovely

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 09/10/2008 14:31

Georgina - there are just so many Georgias now (although I agree it's a nice name). Am allergic to made-up spellings like Jorja!

daizydoo · 09/10/2008 14:33

Well I like Jorja!!

LaDiDaDi · 09/10/2008 14:36

DorrisMcWhirter · 09/10/2008 21:07

DoubleBluff · 09/10/2008 21:07

JMO obv

Rindercella · 09/10/2008 21:12

Georgia and Georgina both lovely. Jorga - yuk (sorry!).

slackrunner · 09/10/2008 21:12

Jorga is terrible (sorry!)

I like Georgina.

wheresthehamster · 09/10/2008 21:13

Love Georgina because it's one of dd3's names.
Georgia is quite common here but nice.
I know a girl called Jorja and presumed she was named after some sleb. Don't like it but not sure why

SquiffyHock · 09/10/2008 21:15

Georgina or (one of my favorite names) Georgiana which you never hear.

Cantmakedecisions · 09/10/2008 21:16

Georgina definitely-think it has a certain 'edge' too it-sort of funky and often shortened to Georgie. Georgia is lovely but very popular it seems. As for Jorja-no,no,no!!-sounds like you're trying too hard.

MrsThierryHenry · 09/10/2008 21:17

I don't like any of them. Sorry! I think they're all rather poncy.

MrsThierryHenry · 09/10/2008 21:17

Isn't there a Jorja Fox...a US aktorka?

MrsThierryHenry · 09/10/2008 21:18

ahh, yes. here you go.

Bet her real name was Sally.
