A friend of mine is actually called Ge, but internationally she is known as 'G'. If you are not happy with just a single letter to indicate this character, you can go for a two letter 'name' that expresses the pronunciation you are happy with.

In case of my friend, it is the first syllable of her official first name, but around here (the Netherlands) it is not uncommon for a nick name to be the initial and a second letter which is not in the actual name but does support the pronunciation of the initial.
