Georgina or Georgiana?
Which do you prefer? I like the nickname "Georgie" for a girl so this is why I am inquiring...middle name would be Marie after my mother Anne Marie.Edit: I pronounce Georgiana as "Jor-jee-ah-nah"

I really like both names. However since my name is Jeana I personally would go with Georgiana

GeorginaGeorgiana is just over-the-top froo-froo, in my opinion. Pretty much all the -ana names are. Georgina is lovely!

Both are beautiful names, but I prefer Georgina.

I much prefer Georgiana. It's been my top name for years now. I pronounce it jor-jee-ah-nah. Jor-jay-nuh doesn't make sense to me at all.

Georgiana would be my choice of the two. That said, I'd probably prefer Georgia.

I like Georgina. Georgiana's a bit frilly for me, but it's okay, and Georgie is cute and fun.
I pronounce Georgiana the same way you do, and frankly I think 'jor-jay-na' is the daftest thing I've ever heard. :)

Georgiana sort of has the Anne part in it, too, so it's doubly honoring! I prefer it anyway.

I like both, but I'd choose Georgiana. So stately, and the fact that it is a Jane Austen name leads me to prefer it.

I prefer Georgina because it's jauntier and more sparkly, but I love Georgiana's brocaded elegance.

I like Georgie too :) I prefer Georgiana. Maily because I don't really like Gina. Also Georgina seems a bit dated, Georgiana is classic. I know one Georgina who is always called Georgie. No Georgiana.I pr. Georgiana as jor-JAY-na, but I like your pronunciation too.

You know, the more I keep hearing the jor-JAY-na pronunciation, the more I like it. I will have to think on it some more.

I like Georgina. It seems less chilly than Georgiana. Although I do love how you pronounce it - Georgie-Anna = adorable fabulous

I pronounce Georgiana as jor-JAY-na, and I dislike the pronunciation you're using. But either way I'd still prefer Georgina. I love the bright green and orange of it, and it's very upbeat and smart with a sense of humor. Plus you could use the nickname Nina, which give it bonus points for me. Although I think Georgie is cute. What about Georgia as a full name?

I prefer Georgina. It just sounds more smooth. Georgiana is too frilly for me.
