This is a beautiful name, one of my favourites. I dislike the spelling Jorja, though. Georgia and Jorja are in the Top 100 in Australia, Georgia is a popular name in England, too. I hope it won´t become too popular in the USA.
I have found out a bit of information on Georgia. From the feminine form of George, meaning 'farmer'. She has the stength and insight to meet her high ideals. An emotional person and a natural leader. I am called Georgia and the strange fact is that most of that information is true.
Georgia is a great name. I know of one who is in my son's kindergarten class and she is such a nice girl.

A famous bearer is Georgie Henley, who stars as Lucy Pevensie in 2005's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe". Her full name is Georgia Laura Henley.
I just love the name Georgia, it is a fun, pretty sounding name.

This is my name and I love it. However, it used to be (decades ago -- I'm old) that everyone could spell it. Now I have to spell it out for people. It also used to be that everyone could pronounce it. Now I get Jorj-ee-ah as often as Jor-jah. I think my name is making a bit of a comeback and I'm glad to see it. Mick Jagger has a girl named Georgia.
I think it's quite a plain name, I don't really like it that much, then again, I think George is plain too.

This is my name, and I must say that I really love it. At first, when I was like, five to ten, I hated it, because it wasn't as "modern" as my friends' names (Ashley, Hannah, Taylor, etc.) but now I love it! It's very unique, and is a strong, mature name, as well as a fun, quirky one!
I love this name for a girl, which is really odd considering that I don't like the name George for a boy. I just think this name is very beautiful and classy, and works well on a little girl and a grown women.
One of my personal faves :) I've always quite liked the name Georgia, because it reminds me of a warm summer day. And I actually absolutely adore the nickname Georgie. Call her Georgie when she's little, and then she can grow into the more mature sounding Georgia.
I'm not fond of the sharp, squashy sound of Georgia, or how masculine it seems. I also shy away from using place names- I make exceptions, but I don't like state names in general. I'm definitely not planning on using this, but who knows? It's not that bad.
Georgia is a male character in Cold Mountain played by Jack White who marries Renee Zellweger's character Ruby. At first, I thought it was weird that HE was named Georgia, but the movie has made it grown on me for a boy.

I really don't like this name. I live in Georgia so it just sounds stupid. I was born in Virginia and I don't like the name Virginia either. Hm.
I like it but prefer Georgina or Georgiana like Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire, a famous English duchess of Jane Austen period. Jane Austen had a character called Georgiana in Pride and Prejudice.

It's the original of all the Georg- names for girls. I love all of them - even Georgette though don't like the other French one so much, Georgine. They are all delectable. Georgia is sunny, warm and rich.

19th century writer Charlotte Mary Yonge in her "History of Christian Names" says on page 115 that although this name was used on the European Continent the first English baby given this name was a godchild of King James the First's consort Anne of Denmark - the baby was christened Georgia Anna.
