What are your thoughts on the names Georgia or Georgette for a girl?

Possible nickname, Georgie...siblings, Samuel and Charlie.

Thanks

I love Georgia, but prefer Georgina/Georgianna to Georgette. Fits very nicely with Samuel and Charlie.

I love the name Georgia.

Love, love, love Georgia. Not sure how Georgette would age...

I think Georgia is nice. I don't like Georgette and I really don't like Georgie as a nn.

I don't get calling Georgia Georgie as they both have two syllables and Georgie sounds like a boys name.

I like Georgia a lot, but I do not like Georgette. As PP mention, Georgina is also nivr.

I also prefer Georgiana over Georgette. Very pretty. Georgia is nice as well, but I live in GA and would have a difficult time choosing it as a name.

I love Georgia (and Georgiana, as another poster mentioned).

I do not like Georgette at all -- it reminds me of the ditzy blonde from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I know that's not a current pop culture reference at all, so it's not one you need to take into consideration. But I still think it sounds dated, and I'm not a huge fan of "-ette" endings for formal names; they seem to take a strong name and trivialize it.

Samuel, Charlie, and Georgia sound fabulous together!

I like Georgia!

Love Georgia, it's on my short like. I'd like to like Georgette, but I get the Mary Tyler Moore reference from it too. Georgiana isn't bad, but Georgia is better imho.

I like Georgia. I don't really like Georgette. I love Georgeanne! And Georgianna is nice too.

For any of those, I love Georgie for a nickname. I'm very big on feminine full first names that have boyish nicknames (like Francesca/Frankie, Alexandra/Alex).

Wow...you know those moments where you look at a word too long, and it stops making sense? That's how I feel about Geog- after reading all these comments.

Anyways, I like Georgia best! Georgia is great...the others seem to be trying a bit too hard. Georgia is so adorable, but I love it with the nickname GiGi instead of Georgie.
