Comments for the name Virginia

The name gives me the impression of intellectuality and sensitivity. I have sort of an indescribable passion for it though.

Not a bad name, I like the nickname Ginny.

This would be kind of embarrassing, if you know what I mean.

My friend's name is Virginia and she hates it. It's long and people often misspell it (even though we LIVE IN VIRGINIA!) and her mom named her after the state we live in. I mean how uncreative! We all call her Jen or Jenny (I guess it would be spelled Ginny but Gin just doesn't look right!)

I think Virginia is a beautiful name, very elegant and I love the nickname Ginny.

I love old, English names, and I think Virginia is elegant and lovely. While Virginia is regal sounding, the nickname Ginny is flirty and fun! The main character of one of my favorite books is named Virginia, too!

Virginia is my name. I like it. Sometimes I get called "Victoria", but not very often. I'm NOT named after the state, but a lot of people seem to think that. I don't even live in the USA! Only a few people call me "Ginny", my usual nickname is "Birdie". I don't know why either. But my name is uncommon, and I love that.

Virginia is one of the most beautiful, classic names out there. Not only is it very classy and lady-like, but it can also sound cute and fun with the nicknames Ginger or Ginnie. Definitely a great choice. :)

Virginia was my Grandmother's name, and is my middle name. Everyone called Grandma Gigi, and I think that's a cute name.

I like this name, more for its famous bearers than for its sweet sound. Virginia Woolf is one of my favourite authors, and it could also be for Elizabeth I, the virgin queen. I don't really like the nickname Ginny because it sounds like Jenny and someone could mistake the girl's name for Jennifer.

It reminds me of the state. I like it though but people could make up very, very vulgar nicknames for this.

Also: the Harry Potter character called Ginny, her full name was Ginevra, not Virginia.

Virginia is gorgeous and sweet. I love it. It's so strong, yet feminine and pretty as well. It's also one of my Great Aunt's names. I never met her, but I do love her name!

This name sounds very refined, but a little awkward. I have never liked it.

I think the name Virginia sounds a little too, I don't know, rude? I dread to think what nicknames you might get called if you were a ten year old in primary school.

Well, it sounds a bit tacky because it's a state name, and place names tend to sound quite tacky. I mean, the name will be associated with the state, and people will have their assumptions about parents who are very fond of the state Virginia. Poor Virginia herself might not be so enamored of the state. Well, you do get the cute nickname Ginny out of this, but it sounds so old-fashioned, and people might think you just have an annoying pronunciation of Jenny.

Though I have a personal bias (Virginia is my full name, though I've always refused to be called it), I dislike this name. It's too long and formal to be used as a common name, and for some reason, Ginny is annoying to me, so I'm left with either Gin, or, as I've always done, just going by my last name.

Outdated, too long, poor options for nicknames, and the whole "virgin" thing can get annoying once you're in secondaries.

I love this name, but it might cause jokes because it has the word "virgin" in it.

I do understand the jokes that would be made, and I've a friend whose family is sooo religious that they named her Virgin. I do like the meaning, though.

I love the nickname Nia for this. It's a less common than Ginny.

I like it, it's beautiful, but will lead to teasing.

Noooooooooooooooo. It may have been a good name in 1800 but NOT in 2010! Imagine in elementary to highschool. "Hey dude, there goes Virgin and she's still a virgin, hahaha!"

I understand that in today's society, with how rude and stupid teenagers can be, this name could cause some problems, but I can't help but like it- I find it very cute, but at the same time refined and sophisticated!

TAKE THAT BACK. Just put a strike through my first comment. My life has been changed by a SHOCKING REVELATION. Namely (oh, hardy har), I like this name. I have a massive thing for this name, almost. Virginia may sound stuffy and it's probably downright hilarious to anyone teenage Anglophone, but honestly? Virginia is something beautiful. Nothing's taking that away from me, not even the snickers of teenagers. It's gorgeous, even if it sounds gawky and stiff as a board at first. (As the actress said to the bishop.)

I really love this name, I think it's really nice, but the word "virgin" always comes to mind, unfortunately, but in my opinion, still quite usable.

I think it's a lovely name, but it'll definitely cause teasing. It makes me think of a nice brown haired woman with green eyes.

Sounds cheap and tacky in the United States. Gag.

Not really for a child.

I think the name Virginia is simply a bad name. I think that state names are sort of uncreative and are meant to be states, not names. I also don't really like the sound of it when you say it. "Ver-JIN-ya." Keep saying it, you'll realize that it sounds weird and sort of like a disease. The only upside to this name is that it suits anyone of any age. I think that it's best, however, for a middle-aged woman.
