[Opinions] Georgine and Georgeta
WDYT? I like that they’re not as used as the other feminine George names, at least not that I’ve heard. Would you prefer Georgine to Georgina and Georgeta to Georgette?
If you had to choose between Georgine and Georgeta, which would you choose?Nothing ventured, nothing gained. PNL:

I love Georgine and really like Georgeta. I prefer Georgine, though I would be delighted to encounter someone named Georgeta.I currently prefer Georgine to Georgina, which I also love. I prefer Georgette to Georgeta.

Between Georgine and Georgeta, I have to say that Georgeta sounds less dated.
And personally, I prefer Romanian names over French ones.So that definitely wins for me.I prefer Georgina to Georgine though. And Georgeta wins over all the options you gave.
The only George name I can think of that I like more than Georgeta is Georgiana pronounced JOR-jee-AH-nah.

Not a big fan of the feminized George names, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Georgine. It sounds the sweetest and most elegant to me. I don't like the sound of Georgeta at all. It's that -jetta sound that gets me.

In general I prefer -ina to -one, and -etta to -ette (I enunciate -ette horribly), and that stands here. I prefer Georgina and Georgeta. I definitely prefer Georgeta overall. I just love the ending, although I’d be tempted to add the extra T to clarify the pronunciation.

I like Georgina more than Georgine and Georgette more than Georgeta.
Georgine is OK. Don't like Georgeta.

Georgeta sounds better to me because Georgine just seems like a combo of George and Gene. Georgina is nice as well and so is Georgette but I think I like Georgeta better because it is more interesting.

I think in order of preference for me:1. Georgine
2. Georgina
2. Georgette
4. GeorgetaSo if I had to pick between the two, Georgine is the winner. Georg- isn't a pleasant sound to my ears though.
Currently, of these, only Georgina is in use in the US. Georgeta has never been in the SSA data, though Georgetta has been.

I would prefer Georgiana over both Georgine and Georgina, but if I had to chose between the two, I would go with Georgina because it lends itself to the nick name Gina. How do you pronounce Georgeta? It sounds awkward when I say it aloud, so I would go with Georgette, which isn't a favorite either. Between Georgine and Georgeta, I prefer Georgine because I could at least go by Jean/Gene.

I’d pronounce it like Georgette, just with an “a” at the end.Georgiana is really nice, too.
