I love Georgette! I can imagine it on any type of person: reserved, bookish, classy, sassy, brassy. Plus, it's pleasurable to say.

It’s the name of a fabric, and sounds very frilly anyway.

I really can’t get past how similar it is to courgette.

It sounds unnecessarily overdone without being pretty.
Georgia is so wholesome and pretty, it doesn't need the ette.

It used to be a textile. Probably one of the early synthetics; I've got a memory of a thin, almost see-through black dress (had to be fully lined) with gazillions of tiny, fussy pleats. Not sure where or when I saw it, so it must have been when I was a small child. Could even have been in a museum somewhere.
Simply as a name, I'm not a fan. The repeated J-j sound doesn't appeal, and the two heavy syllables thudding against each other don't appeal either. Give me Georgina any time.

Georgette would be a big, burly, handsome woman who works on cars. Down to earth. No nonsense.
I can't say I love it, but it certainly has character. It would be hilarious on a dog.

Ha! I see Georgette as short and slim young woman who has curly brown hair & bangs and who wears either a white lace dress or something yellow. I don't know what she'd do for a living, perhaps groom poodles (she wouldn't wear lacy dress while doing *that*).
It's not my favourite George-related name, but it's ok.

Okay, I know this is just me, but all I can think of is a really dumb dingy woman because of Georgette Franklin/Baxter on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".
I slightly knew a Georgette in my childhood though. I can remember what she looked like and I remember how her voice sounded, but we weren't friends and so she didn't leave me with an impression of her name.
