Virginia Adeline (Obvious?)
Virginia Alice
Virginia Amabel
Virginia Bethsabée
Virginia Blythe (Ironic?)
Virginia Capucine
Virginia Cecily (I love this.)
Virginia Celestine
Virginia Clementine
Virginia Clothilde
Virginia Clotilde
Virginia Corisande
Virginia Daisy
Virginia Eloise (This, too!)
Virginia Emeline
Virginia Emily
Virginia Emmeline
Virginia Héloïse
Virginia Léonie
Virginia Léontine
Virginia Lilac
Virginia Lilias
Virginia Lotus
Virginia Lucille
Virginia Lucy
Virginia Mabel
Virginia Madelief
Virginia Mathilde
Virginia Matilde
Virginia Maud
Virginia Maude
Virginia Melisande
Virginia Opal
Virginia Ottilie
Virginia Ottoline
Virginia Plum
Virginia Pomeline
Virginia Poppy
Virginia Rosabel
Virginia Rosalie
Virginia Rosaline (final syllable rhymes with that of Caroline)
Virginia Rosamond
Virginia Rosamund
Virginia Rosemonde
Virginia Ruby

Personally I dont like the name. I went to school with a Virginia, she was a very strange, creepy girl and she goy teased alot by the boys eg Virgin, Vagina, vinegar, etc poor girl, I feel sorry for her now.

I like Virginia, but I would never actually use it. It reminds me too much of Virginia Woolf, and she is one of my least favorite authors.

I like Virginia Cecily and Virginia Blythe.

Ah! I've fallen in love with Virginia Woolf! Granted, I've only read one of her works; however, I'm certain I'll enjoy To the Lighthouse, Orlando, et al. as well.

Yeah, I tried getting into her, but I just couldn't do it. But I guess this is a discussion for another forum. :)

Virginia Alice

I like it, because my grandmother is named Alice, and her mother is named Virgie (and her mother was also named Alice).

Good family name there.

Isn't is just beautiful ? That acting! That score (Philip Glass!)! *sighs*

You're the first person I have ever known who loves Mr. Glass like that. I really liked the score to Notes On A Scandal.
