My name - as given to me by my parents - is perhaps a
little difficult for the average Scot to pronounce -
Georgette, with a soft French G


So is it pronounced "Zheor-zhette" (the "zh" is like the s in "vision",
or like the j in the French "je".) Or is one of the G's like the English
j (like "jello", etc)?


Zheorzhette.

But in Scots that gets "J....jet". Close as anyone is gonna
come, so Jette it is!

(but I do love visiting France and getting my proper name)
