Hehe, it's my mn, after my maternal grandfather, George. I like having a not-so-common mn, since my fn is so darn popular, but I used to hate my mn growing up. 'It sounds like the name of a French poodle!' LOL. I like it now, and especially the "differentness" of it. But I still get VERY strange looks and even smirks and laughs when I tell people--adults, mind you--my mn. I try to say it with a blank look, to gauge what their true reaction will be, not based on mine, but I think a lot of them are waiting to see what my reaction is of it before they react. When people laugh, I just shrug. Yeah, it's different, but thank God it's not Marie, Lynn, Ann, or Nicole like ALL the other Heathers I know! :)

I find it kind of fancy-pancy. -ette names aren't really my thing though.

I like it alot and i also think it sounds fun. Plus ive never met a person with this name which is a bonus to me

I generally really don't like -ette names (Annette is the exception because its my Nana's name) and that includes Georgette. I do however like Georgina or Georgia.

reminds me of thr snooty poodle in Oliver & Company, it's good for a poodle IMO, not for a person since that's all I think of.

It's okay, but I really prefer something amoung the lines of Georgia/Jorja or Georgina/Georgine. It's not awful and I wouldn't mind seeing more of it though.

It's a type of material, but otherwise I have no qualms with it. I enjoy most George-based feminine names (Georgia, Georgina, Georgiana, Georgette, Georgine . . .) but I don't like George. Weird, huh?

Georgette gets my thumbs-up.

I think most -ette names sound a little too frilly and cutesy for adult women. Maybe Georgia nn Georgette would be better.

Though I do like Georgia, I strongly dislike all of its variants (i.e. Georgette). Don't know why that is.

I'm really not a fan of diminutive names so I prefer Georgia to Georgette.

Georgette isn't my style, but I have to admit that I started liking this name after my friend told me his dad's going to marry a woman with this name. Georgette does sound fun and "daring"--but I'd be hesitant because of the nickname "Georgie."

It sounds like somebody's fluffy white poodle witha bow in its hair and painted toenails. Eats gourmet dog food, has a beauty-parlor appointment every week, pees on the floor and bites people.

I prefer Georgia. :)
