What I like about Jorge is the versatility that it exhibits for pronunciation of it. If one desires, you can apply the way it is spoken in Spanish or, if to your preference, say it the English way as you would for “George”. Simple as that. Also, the name is short and would not be overwhelming for a small child to learn how to spell it. Anyway, those are my thoughts regarding this Spanish treasure of a name.

I think Jorge is a well established name that does not seem to be losing any of its momentum within the hispanophone world. I also know quite a few contacts that go by this first name and I can only say nice things about their characters.

It's a handsome and mature sounding name that can fit any boy at any age regardless.
I actually think this is nice a spelling for the name George. The spelling of George looks like a shrub or something. I know the name isn't pronounced this way, but I still think its good.

My name is Jorge and growing up in California I always went by "George" and never by the way it is said in Spanish. Now I go by either the English or Spanish version of my name.

What a charming name?! I have never encountered this name before, I live in Finland, and I think it sounds rather exotic.

My hubby has this name and I really enjoy the name for obvious reasons. Still a great name in my humble opinion. Cheers!
This is my name and I always go either by the English way of pronouncing it or the Spanish way. Either way I like it just same. :)

I like this name as a variant of the name George. It's a lot better than George anyway.

I think this name is rather swell. It could be a nice substitute for the timeless name of George. I just might pick this name for any future born son I may have. One never knows. :)

Pronounced "Hor-hay" in Spanish.Pronounced similar to "Georgie" (English diminutive nickname for George) in Portuguese.

I know there are two ways to spell it, but I like the “George” one better. And I like Jorge better than George.
Jorge was the name of my late Grandfather so I do have a bias towards it. Somewhat objectively, I think this name could work as a substitute for George if someone might want a different form of spelling and pronouncement of that particular name.
