I knew a Virginia who is now 18 (I knew her when she was about 12-15 years old). She went by Ginny or Gin.

I would avoid Virginia because of the massive potential for teasing. I know any name can be prone to teasing but the fact it actually contains the word "virgin" (and sounds a bit like "vagina" as well) is just asking for trouble.

I think Ginger or Ginny are avoidable, but it's quite a long name to use without any sort of nickname!
