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'm not posh! Does Ginny sound posh? Would it be out of place in a middle class (I guess that is the category I'd fall into, I think....I don't like he whole class thing tbh) family?

I like it. I've got a cousin Ginny which might bias me towards it a bit though.

Where I live the term "Ginny Ann" is used for people being a bit scared about things. Sort of like the term "pansy".

I'd avoid it.

Love Ginny.

Would be tempted to think about Ginnifer, Ginnie, Imogen, Eugenie.

Ginnifer is a ridiculous name. Sounds like a Jennifer said in a Kiwi accent (not that a Kiwi accent is ridiculous!)

Yeah, I don't like Ginnifer at all. Don't really like any of the longer versions either although I do like Genevieve just not enough for an actual name.

We considered Ginevra nn Ginny but this one's a boy

Not keen at all. My Australian friend calls her lady bits her giney which is too similar, IMO. Virginia is too close to virgin and vagina for me too.

My great aunt was Jeannie-pr Ginny with our NI accent!!
