ArchivesGeordan
Hi i was wondering how u would pronounce the name Geordan-is it JOR-DAN OR GEOR-DAN-u get the drift.
I read on a celtic website that its the Scottish version of Gordan-which is funnily enough a Scottish name anyway-so one would assume it's pronounced the same way. However i heard a commentator for the British Lions say Jor-dan about one of the players whose name was Geordan Murphy!-me confused.
If anyone can clarify this that would be good.
thanks

I'd suppose you'd pronounce it as Jordan. It must be like Geoffrey or something.

I have only ever heard Geordan Murphy's name pronounced JOR-dan, but that doesn't mean much. George is pronounced JORG isn't it so perhaps it follows the same pattern. I'm not sure though.

sorry I posted this in the wrong place...
I've never heard of the name Geordan before, but it looked like a variant of Jordan to me, unter the influence of George. I'd pr. it JOR-dan.
