I prefer Georgina. Georgiana sounds kind of snooty.

Georgina. The way you pronounce Georgiana I dont care for it. It just doesn't feel right but Georgina I find quite pretty.

I totally prefer Georgina. Georgiana is too long for comfort, and pronouncing it jor-JAY-na seems really silly to me, like a pretentious version of Georgina.I like Georgina Daisy, Georgina Sally, Georgina Lucy - seems to need cheerful little mns to show off its elegance and versatility.

Georgina! I really like it. So lush and pretty without the fussy-prissy feel of Georgiana.

I enjoy both, but I really love Georgiana. It takes that extra leap. I think it's the Pride & Prejudice influence? It's so frilly! But also down to earth and delightful!I pronounce it jor-jee-AH-nah. jor-JAY-nah doesn't come naturally to me.Combos are hard for Georgiana but I'll try. I'd be satisfied with Georgiana Rose actually, but here are some others.Georgiana Louise
Georgiana Frances
Georgiana Florence
Georgiana Helen

I like Georgiana (jor-JYAH-nə).Georgina isn't as attractive to me; it just sounds like George with Gina stuck to it. Whereas, I find Georgiana kind of cute.

I like Georgiana pronounced jor-JYAH-na. I really really dislike the pronunciation you listed. It seems illogical considering the spelling, and that always bugs me, If that's the pronunciation you'd use, then I'd prefer Georgina.Georgiana Mae

I love Georgiana as George-ee-AH-nuh; I think it's a beautiful, sophisticated name and I love the Pride and Prejudice literary association. It's one of my favourite girls' names! But I really dislike it as Jor-jay-nuh, it just doesnt sound appealing at all in my opinion, and I'd choose Georgina over it in that case. Middle suggestions, whih could work for both, but I'll just stick with Georgiana.Georgiana Eve

Georgiana Caroline
Georgiana Mirabelle
Georgiana Lucinda
Georgiana Marywould be my suggestions

I don't like either, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Georgiana. I think "jorj" is a mighty unattractive syllable, so if we're going to feminize George, it needs as much dressing up as possible.
