Help[Opinions] Re: Virginia
in reply to a message by Perrine
I have pretty strong associations with it because it's my sister's name, and I'm also from the state.
I don't think old Hollywood. I think old brick buildings, blue mountains, Virginia Dare, Virginia Woolf. I remember my sister thought it was heavy sounding, got teased about the state association, and was disappointed in the meaning as a kid, though in retrospect, there's nothing wrong with "virgin, maid".
I've been called it a few times by mistake, and I didn't mind (liked it more than being called Vanessa, at least).
I think it's maybe a name people have to grow into, but once they do, it's nice...stately, well-rounded.
The vibe's a little like Eugenia, to me.
I don't see it getting popular in the US any time soon, though 10 years ago, I wouldn't have guessed Ophelia would be going that direction either.
