[Opinions] Re: Virginia
in reply to a message by Lily
I think it's still usable despite having the word "virgin" in it. I'm neutral regarding the word, so I don't see it as a bad thing. Some kids might try to tease her in school, but if the nickname Virgin is the worst they can come up with, that's really not so bad. Most people end up getting teased for one thing or another growing up anyways. If it's not her name, it might be her sweater or hair or who knows what. And if they do tease her because of her name and it bothers her that much, she can always go by Ginny.Virginia is a name with a rich history and many associations. The word "virgin" isn't the only thing that will come to mind for people. They'll probably think of the state or someone they know named Virginia as well, for example.
