Ginny
|
Ginny is a short form of the name Virginia and somewhat less prone to cruel nicknames.
This form of the name seems to be becoming more common after its use as the name of the youngest Weasley child in the Harry Potter books, though J. K. Rowling revealed Ginny Weasley's full name is Ginevra, not Virginia, on her website (http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=7). Real people named Ginny include Ginny Owens, and Ginny Brown-Waite
