I like the image it gives me. It's a very elegant name and its white in color. I know a very nice Virginia who was born in the mid 80s so I have a good association with it. From my experience it has been used quite a bit until the late 80s or early 90s, I've heard of several Virginias who are in their 20s now. It only seems to be extremely uncommon for people born in the mid 90s and later. I also know a Virginya who was born in the early 80s but I don't care for the spelling.
Virginia was my favorite name when I was about 14. I still like it a lot and would love to see it used. The reason why it doesn't get 10 points: virgin jokes and the nickname Ginger. Well, actually all of its nicknames. Ginny, Gin, Ginna, Ginger, Virgie. I only like it in its full form. I don't find Ginny horrible, but I really dislike the others and most of them make me think of gin (alcohol).
