Help[Opinions] Re: Georgia or Georgina?
in reply to a message by Perrine
They're both alright, neither one is really my style, and I prefer Georgia.
I'm on the side of those who see Georgia as more traditionally-classy and warm, Georgina as more prissy/frilly/"special" and self-consciously posh.
Georgia also sounds more grownup, and Georgina more "cute."
But I don't really dislike Georgina. I can picture it seeming as sweet and strong as Georgia, in real life.
It's like Julia vs. Juliet. I prefer Julia & Georgia - partly because of "impression" but also just because of the sound. The -eena and -ette sounds are kind of precious-sounding to me, diminutive, enough that I prefer forms without them.
