What I like about Jorge is the versatility that it exhibits for pronunciation of it. If one desires, you can apply the way it is spoken in Spanish or, if to your preference, say it the English way as you would for “George”. Simple as that. Also, the name is short and would not be overwhelming for a small child to learn how to spell it. Anyway, those are my thoughts regarding this Spanish treasure of a name.

In the Philippines, it's either pronunciation of Jorge: Khor-Khe or Jorj (in Philippine English). It's similar to George.

I actually think this is nice a spelling for the name George. The spelling of George looks like a shrub or something. I know the name isn't pronounced this way, but I still think its good.

My name is Jorge and growing up in California I always went by "George" and never by the way it is said in Spanish. Now I go by either the English or Spanish version of my name.

I think this name is rather swell. It could be a nice substitute for the timeless name of George.
I just might pick this name for any future born son I may have. One never knows. :)

Jorge was the name of my late Grandfather so I do have a bias towards it. Somewhat objectively, I think this name could work as a substitute for George if someone might want a different form of spelling and pronouncement of that particular name.
