Help[Opinions] Re: Virginia
in reply to a message by Perrine
I sure wouldn't use it.
However, I think in the US kids would be too used to hearing it as the state to immediately jump on the Virgin thing as something to tease about, though it could very well still come up. So I guess it's usable enough. But that doesn't stop it from being ugly.

Yes, I was thinking that because of it being known as a state name it would be more familiar in the US.

As someone named Georgia and a US resident, unfortunately I don't think this is correct. It might be more familiar here than elsewhere, but that doesn't mean it actually is familiar here.
People who encounter my name, as a rule, do not know how to spell it or pronounce it.
