HelpRe: Virginia
in reply to a message by Perrine
Hi Perrine !!!
Yes, Virginia is popular here.
In all these years (1999-) new babies named Virginia have been more than 500 every year. In 2015 they were 529 (#78) 2016 they increased to 631.
The Italian adjective is "vergine" for both males and females.
I think that Virginia is more used here because of Virgin Mary (Vergine Maria) that maybe makes Virginia more usable. After that here many Ancient Roman names are seen as refined, classic and elegant and Virginia is one of these names.
Obviously nowadays new generations sometimes have my opinion about Virginia but it is generally perceived as a classic, model, evergreen Italian name.
