Dorset / Re: How do you pronouce "GORDGE"?
« on: Tuesday 25 January 11 12:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi There
My Name is Russell Gordge, the Gordge is pronounced exactly like the ravine, in the same way you would pronounce Forge. I believe it or ginally started as d'gorge, (french origin) but the "d" was placed in the middle after the french revolution to enable the family to fit into England.
I'm also aware that the name originates form Dukes and Early but from what era or date I'm not so sure
I hope this helps
