| Apr 17, 2017 at 13:30 | comment | added | Peter Shor | It is? Listen to that link. I definitely hear a /g/. Maybe some Russians named Georgy say Yorgi in English, because native English speakers have trouble with the starting consonant combination in Gyorgi. | |

| Feb 21, 2017 at 2:11 | comment | added | Peter Shor | We wouldn't pronounce 'ge' right, either. Doctor Geivago would be pronounced Jayvahgo. And how would you tell whether to pronounce Georgy with a /g/ or a /ʒ/? 'zh' is a much better transliteration. | |
