HelpRe: Virginia
in reply to a message by Lily
I quite like it. Its my mum's name and I'd seriously consider using it as a middle name. She doesn't really get called any nicknames now that she's in her 50s but some family members still call her Gin, Ginny or Ginia on occasion.
I think its totally usable - I doubt there would be that many jokes. If for some reason she did get teased, go by Gin/Ginny until she's old enough for people to stop being silly.
Oh and also I pronounce this name differently to the American state pronunciation. Instead of Vir-gin-ya we say Vir-gin-ee-a. I don't really like it when pronounced Virgin-ya.
