Depends upon where you live. +

If in an English-speaking area, then, Virginia.In a French-speaking one, Virginie. In a bi-lingual area (English and French), either.

Both are beautiful names.

Virginia Skye.
Virginia Claire.

Virginia. Just because saying Virginie in English isn't completely comfy for me.

I love Virginia. I think Virginie sounds rather like virgin-y.

Virginia

I've always thought it was pretty, then the last few months have really been liking it a lot more, and now I find out that my husband likes it. So I think it's here to stay on my potential-use list.

Yet I've never really tried making combos with it:
Virginia Bronwen
Virginia Claire
Virginia Eleanor
Virginia Eloise
Virginia Emmeline
Virginia Fenella
Virginia Guinevere
Virginia Harriet
Virginia Maeve
Virginia Marguerite
Virginia Maureen
Virginia Penelope
Virginia Susannah

Hmm.

I prefer Virginie, but I think it would work only in a French speaking environment. For an English speaking one I think Virginia would be better.

My fave Virginie combo is Virginie Eloise.

Eloise

A little off-topic, but in a French speaking environment, I would think a tréma (¨) really would be necessary in the name Eloise, to avoid it sounding like ell-WAZZ. Éloïse looks more whimsical anyway.

Yes, that would be the case and the correct thing to do. But I have seen French speaking parents (in Canada) avoiding the trema and accent in the spelling so it would be more universal.
