Ginevra?

I was taking history notes today about religious reformations in Europe and read about how the priest John Calvin set up a Calvinist society in Geneva, Switzerland. Anyways, I started thinking about Ginevra, which I really like. (I believe this is Ginny Weasley's real name - is this right?) So, opinions on this name? I've been thinking about Isabel Ginevra, Ginevra Daisy, and Ginevra Scarlett. What would you suggest? Thanks!

Ginevra has been my girls' top fave for a while. Geneva is also nice. Ginevra Scarlett is lovely, and also Isabel Ginevra (Ginevra Isabel flows better, though, imo.) Daisy is a bit too cutesy for me. Others...

Ginevra Kate
Ginevra Clare
Ginevra Eden
Ginevra Mae
Ginevra Lilac
Ginevra Charlotte
Ginevra Chloe
Ginevra Lucy

I've loved Ginevra for years. I was thrilled to hear that it was a character's name in HP. I've never read those books / seen the movies, but they expose young readers to terrific names like Ginny (Ginevra).

Isabel Ginevra is very elegant. Ginevra Daisy is sweet. Others:
