Help[Opinions] Re: Geordan
in reply to a message by Lillian
I don't like it. It looks pseudo-medieval: Geoffrey/Jeffrey, Geordan/Jordan. (I also strongly prefer Geoffrey to Jeffrey so that makes me sad.) It looks wrong. Plus, people will mispronounce it as gee-OR-dan, as opposed to JOR-dan.
If gender ambiguity bugs you, I'd just stay away. Geordan sounds just as gender-ambiguous as Jordan. I'm sort of reminded of the people who find Maddysynne more feminine, even though a Maddysynne is a Maddiesine is a Madisyn is a Madyson is a Madison. One is just correctly spelled. *shrug*
