Ginny?

So weird that all the names I seem to like a short/nick name types! I posted Elvie a couple of days back! I did post Alba a while ago but hubby has gone off it :(

So, opinions on Ginny.....the Harry Potter link doesn't put me off at all.

I like the character in the books, but never liked the name.

I know a dog called Ginny.

Don't like the name at all - for people or pets, sorry.

Imogen can be shortened to Ginny too. I like Ginny. It's more Antonia Forester than Enid Blyton, imo.

Got you Squoosh :) It has been an absolute age since I read Enid Blyton books! Gosh I feel old now!

I just like Ginny, no longer versions of names. I don't think sounds as cutesy as other shortened names. I really love Ginny and Edie. Elvie is lovely but I don't love it but the husband does. Hmmmm.

Anything with 'virgin' in it would be on my To Avoid list.

Virginia, with Gini for short is nice imo. Or the French Virginie is lovely too.

Yes, rosy cheeked, 1950's boarding school heroine with boundless energy and a tendency to say 'How simply wizard!'.
