Re: Geordan
in reply to a message by Lillian
I'm tempted to like it because of how much I like Geordie, though not particularly as a nickname for George. But the overriding sentiment is that I just don't like Jordan, irrespective of spelling. :-) I like it a bit more if I look at it like George with a diminutive suffix (like Ciaran, Faolan, Lomman, Mainchin...), whicih makes enough sense given the only other explanation of the name I've read after a brief search:
He was officially named George after his father but his mother called him Geordan to avoid confusion.

So! I don't know. Jury's still out on this one for me.
