This would make sense to me. The Welsh for George is "Siors", which is pronounced more or less the same way. Under the Auld Alliance there would have been a lot of French in the background and the French Georges with its two soft "g"s would have been pronounced in a not dissimilar way.

No.

Geordie or Dod, but not "shores". Unless it's possibly gaelic?
