Names Ginny can be short for

Girl Names
1

I love the name [name_f]Ginny[/name_f], but I would want it to be short for a longer name. I don’t love Ginevra/Virginia which I think are the two most common ways to get there. Some options I like are

[name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]
[name_f]Eugenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

But for the first two, I also like the other nn options which also feel more natural to them (Georgiana “Georgie” and [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f] “Genie”) and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] isn’t my all time favorite.

Let me know if you can think of other names [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] can be short for!

I think [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] works well for [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], [name_f]Eugenie[/name_f], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]!

Maybe…
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Regina[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginelle[/name_f] / [name_f]Jinelle[/name_f] / [name_f]Janelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginnifer[/name_f] / [name_f]Jinnifer[/name_f] / [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f]
[name_f]Geneva[/name_f] / [name_f]Jineva[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeannine[/name_f]
[name_u]Genesis[/name_u]

[name_f]Virginia[/name_f] is one of my favorites, as is [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]! [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] is another beauty, long form of [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] used by the HP character!

Sorry, just noticed you don’t like [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f]. They weren’t pink so I didn’t notice them! :rofl: Perhaps [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (a stretch but so cute) or [name_f]Ginnifer[/name_f]?

In addition to [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], there’s the variation [name_f]Genavie[/name_f], which has the ‘ee’ ending built in.
[name_f]Eugina[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginata[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f] / [name_u]Gianni[/name_u]
[name_f]Giacintha[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianina[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianoula[/name_f]
[name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]
[name_u]Gionni[/name_u]

Italian names offer lots of options containing [name_f]Gia[/name_f] and [name_u]Gio[/name_u].

[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Genovia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Jiliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwenyth[/name_f]

[name_f]Gillian[/name_f] came to mind :slight_smile:

A few other ideas:

Angelina/Evangeline/Angeline
[name_f]Geraldine[/name_f]
[name_f]Giacinta[/name_f]
[name_u]Genesis[/name_u]
[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] (probably gp)

That’s ok haha. I actually don’t mind [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] and I love the character in HP but I’m worried it’s all people will think of

how about Latin names?

[name_u]Gianni[/name_u] - reads Jee-Anne-Knee – and short for it, could be [name_f]Ginny[/name_f]! This name is “Jane” in Italian

Gianette - in a similar way
