I love Georgine and really like Georgeta. I prefer Georgine, though I would be delighted to encounter someone named Georgeta.

---

I currently prefer Georgine to Georgina, which I also love.

---

I prefer Georgette to Georgeta.

Between Georgine and Georgeta, I have to say that Georgeta sounds less dated.
And personally, I prefer Romanian names over French ones.

---

So that definitely wins for me.

---

I prefer Georgina to Georgine though. And Georgeta wins over all the options you gave.
The only George name I can think of that I like more than Georgeta is Georgiana pronounced JOR-jee-AH-nah.

Not a big fan of the feminized George names, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Georgine. It sounds the sweetest and most elegant to me.

I don't like the sound of Georgeta at all. It's that -jetta sound that gets me.

In general I prefer -ina to -one, and -etta to -ette (I enunciate -ette horribly), and that stands here. I prefer Georgina and Georgeta. I definitely prefer Georgeta overall. I just love the ending, although I’d be tempted to add the extra T to clarify the pronunciation.

I like Georgina more than Georgine and Georgette more than Georgeta.
Georgine is OK. Don't like Georgeta.

Georgeta sounds better to me because Georgine just seems like a combo of George and Gene. Georgina is nice as well and so is Georgette but I think I like Georgeta better because it is more interesting.

I think in order of preference for me:

---

1. Georgine
2. Georgina
2. Georgette
4. Georgeta

---

So if I had to pick between the two, Georgine is the winner. Georg- isn't a pleasant sound to my ears though.

Currently, of these, only Georgina is in use in the US. Georgeta has never been in the SSA data, though Georgetta has been.

I would prefer Georgiana over both Georgine and Georgina, but if I had to chose between the two, I would go with Georgina because it lends itself to the nick name Gina.

How do you pronounce Georgeta? It sounds awkward when I say it aloud, so I would go with Georgette, which isn't a favorite either. Between Georgine and Georgeta, I prefer Georgine because I could at least go by Jean/Gene.
