Virginia! So fresh, so green, so leafy, so wild. I liked the actor Virginia McKenna in Born Free and thought her name was very cool.
Strangely, when I was about 25, two colleagues spontaneously started calling me Virginia. "You don't look like a (my name), you look like a Virginia," they declared.
They'd be most amused now to meet my DD, named Virginia! Still my favourite name, and it suits DD so well.

Jessica. Always Jessica. All the cool girls at school were Jessica, plus there was Sweet Valley High.

I didn't think of boys names because I would only be having a daughter.

(I have 2 sons, no daughters Grin)
