Georgia or Jorja?
Which one do you like best, Georgia or Jorja. I didn't like the name Georgia until I saw it spelled Jorja. I actually think it makes a big difference. Georgia is very "connected" to George but spelled Jorja it's more like it's a name on its own.

Georgia. I just feel that Jorja is too made up.

Georgia!

Georgia, pleaseJorja's just dumb and illiterate-looking imo. Georgia's uncommon and beautiful enough on its own not to be yuneekified.

I agree completelyI love Georgia, and as much as it does look like George, when I hear it, it's very feminine to me. Jorja looks too kre8tiv, and I'm one who usually likes kre8tiv names.

Georgia for me.There's no denying that Georgia is connected to George, and I don't particularly have a problem with that. :-) I like the look of Georgia and that way to me is just, well, normal. I'm very used to that spelling going with that sound. Jorja as a variant doesn't irritate me or anything, though.It's like Jayne vs. Jane or Eleanor vs. any other variant that sounds the same. I definitely have my own preference but I'm neutral on what other people decide to go for in those cases.

I would better Georgina than Georgia. Georgia - it´s more like pet form.

Another vote for Georgia, Jorja is like Jorge to me, so my first instinct would be to be pronounce it like Hor-ha. Not my cup of tea.

We're not debating variants of Georgia, but just the spelling - Georgia or Jorja?

My first instint with Jorja is to say it HOR-ha. WHORE-HA. Like Jorge or Jose.

I like Jorja :)

Jorja is unique in its own way and is very creative. Georgia is also nice but sounds like someone who is older.

I have a soft spot for Jorja. No idea why. That said, I would go with Georgia. It will bu much less confusing to people and looks more professional. Plus, if she ends up going by George -- Jorje loosk really silly. Also, since j makes a y sound in some many languages you are bound to get some people who think it should be said your-ya. At least, I wouldn't be surprised if you did.

Don't care for the name eithe rway, but definitely would pick Georgia. Jorja looks stupid, like some illiterate was trying to spell Georgia. They sound the same so to me they're equally connected to the male name George.

Hm, I dunno. I like the sound of it and don't really "feel" the George-iness of it; I think of the state (in a positive way). I think Jorja looks much more modern, as in, it looks less traditional and "old." And it reminds me of a person I knew named Jory (she was really Marjorie but no one called her that), which I thought was a cool name (never having heard of the male name Jory).It does have the drawback of looking more "casual" (or maybe trivial) because of the phonetic spelling, though. So, I'm not sure. I think I'd probably go with Georgia because I'm a stuck-in-the-mud in some ways. But I do like Jorja alright.

Georgia. Jorga just looks strange.

I actually like Georgia better because the nn Georgie can be used with it. But I will admit that Jorja has a fresh "new" appearance to it which is sweet and spunky! :)
This spelling reminds me of Jorja Fox actress from the CSI TV series. Sweet and Spunky like the character she plays. Do be forwarned that in Hispanic and Spanish speaking countries Jorja will become hor-huh because of the Js being pronounce like Hs. I hope this helps a bit. It's a really cute name either way it's spelled!

Jorja, to me, looks very made up and kr8tive. And I dont like Georgia, not because of George, but because of the state.

I prefer the Georgia spelling. However, Jorja is different to me and that makes me like it as well :)
