Re: Georgia/Georgiana
in reply to a message by bopperlynn
I try to avoid names with pronunciation issues. jorjeeAHna? joreeANNa? You, and she, will get both, and might even get hit with the ludicrous jorJANEa. I'd willingly use Georgina, but not Georgiana and not Georgia either - too geographical.
The main source of mouthfulness is Georgiana. Middle names really get used so seldom. It's usually helpful not to have a vowel, like -a, followed by a vowel, in this case another A-. You could solve it by inserting a short, consonant-heavy mn between them: Georgiana Clare Adeline, perhaps? Or Georgiana Lynn Adele.
