I definitely like Georgia better, don't know why.

Georgina. It has that old lady charm I love.

They're both alright, neither one is really my style, and I prefer Georgia.
I'm on the side of those who see Georgia as more traditionally-classy and warm, Georgina as more prissy/frilly/"special" and self-consciously posh.
Georgia also sounds more grownup, and Georgina more "cute."
But I don't really dislike Georgina. I can picture it seeming as sweet and strong as Georgia, in real life.
It's like Julia vs. Juliet. I prefer Julia & Georgia - partly because of "impression" but also just because of the sound. The -eena and -ette sounds are kind of precious-sounding to me, diminutive, enough that I prefer forms without them.

Dislike both, but I can stomach Georgia. Both remind me of 'George' which I dislike (I prefer feminizations when they don't just make me think of the masculine form) but Georgia is better because it also reminds me of the country (and the US state cause of that great song The Devil Went Down to Georgia, aha). Georgia is fuller and more... benevolent? Georgina is pinched; it makes me see the image of a held nose for some reason. They both feel upper class, but Georgina in a prissy and posh way which I dislike, whereas Georgia is softer and rounder. Actually, I'm liking Georgia more and more as I write this.

Georgia. Georgina is trying too hard.

Without reading other peoples comments, I'm going to guess I'm in the minority here - just presuming this based on views I've had on Georgina in the past when I've asked (because it's been consistently in and out of my top ten for years and always on my long list).

---

They give off totally different vibes.

---

Georgia is spoilt, bratty, the cliched popular "mean" girl. I knew a fair few Georgias growing up, they'd be in their 20s now and I don't remember them being particularly nice children.

---

Georgina is somewhere softer but stronger at the same time. It's sweeter and fairer but with an underlying toughness that I feel Georgia lacks. Georgia would go running crying to her daddy to fix her problems but Georgina would face them with her chin lifted. I like George and Georgie as nicknames and feel they come better from Georgina; strangely, I don't like Gina as either a full name or nickname.

Georgia by a longshot. I don’t like the “gina” part of Georgina. It’s not awful, but it it makes it sound a little cheaper and more dated.

Georgia is friendly, down to earth, and warm.

---

Georgina is a pinched, narrow viewed girl with wanna-be-aristocrat parents.

---

Georgiana is my favorite of the George names. It has a pleasing fullness to it.

I don't much like the sound of George, and I dislike geographical names, so Georgia loses twice.

---

I like Georgina a lot, though. Probably because the emphasis is on JEE, and I like Jean and Gina.

Both are nice, I think Georgina just slightly more, less popular, I prefer Georgiana even more

Hi Perrine !!!

Georgia is only a State and a Country in my mind. Giorgia (same pronounciation) is the given name. I dislike both them. Too plain, boring and too many G.

---

Georgina is too childish.

---

I like Georgiana (but pronounced je-awr-JA-na). I like that it an adjective and an historical/royal period. I also like the figure of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. Her story is also a movie 'The Duchess' where she is played by Keira Knightley.

Georgina is a chubby Victorian child dressed in lace.

Georgia is modern, friendly and possibly country.
