Nooo! Georgina has been a love of mine since I was very little. And while I've never liked Georgia, Georgette has been growing on me and George is significant for me too.

Maybe it's the repeated 'dzh' sound that puts you off, but I like the sound that the majority of George names bring.

George itself is solid and strong. Dependable and wearable by all ages, dispositions, class and career.
Georgina is the more elegant female version, it's less popular than Georgia which is why it appeals to me. Georgette is for those who are after something a bit different.

I want to love George because I love the meaning. I like down to earth names. But I am not very fond of the sound. It's a bit harsh and cut off. I would use it if it was the only thing DH and I could agree on, but it's definitely not a top 10 name.

I like the sound of Georgia better, but it's a state, and not one I'm terribly fond of. So that makes it pretty unusable for me. All the other variants are too fussy.

I love George! It seems so well-rounded and earthy to me, plus I think it's fun to say. :)

I hate Georgia and Georgina (because I dislike names that are also US states, and I have negative associations with Gina).

I think Georgette and Georgiana are okay.

I like Georgia, mostly due to the song Georgia on My Mind. I find it sweet and spunky. Georgina and Georgette annoy me, and Georgiana makes me want to throw up. They're sickly sweet.

George is just a friendly, solid, easy name. I neither like nor dislike it.

I don't like George. It sounds precious and goofy and doesn't age well. Suits a chubby toddler, but not a handsome man. Curious George. George Bush Jr and Sr.
But, it is classic, and could be smooth if I didn't have these icky images and dislike the -urge sound at the end of it.
I like Georgia though. I think it's graceful and happy sounding.
Don't care for any other of the Georg-names... they seem fussy to me.
