Ways to get to Ginny?

Girl Names
1

Anyone have any suggestions of ways to get to [name]Ginny[/name], besides [name]Virginia[/name]? We might not be able to use [name]Virginia[/name], but want to honor a [name]Virginia[/name] who goes by [name]Ginny[/name].

Or, other ways to honor a [name]Virginia[/name]?

thanks!!

[name]Regina[/name] and [name]Guinevere[/name] (which can be spelled many different ways) come to mind.

In the movie 'Camelot" [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] calls [name]Guinevere[/name] “[name]Ginny[/name]”.

Others: [name]Ginger[/name] (it’s a stretch); [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Gina[/name].

There is also [name]Ginevra[/name], which i ABSOLUELY love. :]

4

[name]Ginevra[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Ginnifer[/name] as in the actress [name]Ginnifer[/name] Goodwin. I like this spelling way better than [name]Jennifer[/name].

It may be a tiny stretch, but I think [name]Imogen[/name] could work as a [name]Ginny[/name] contender. I think [name]Genevieve[/name] or [name]Genoveva[/name] might work, as well.

Also:

[name]Georgina[/name]
[name]Eugenia[/name]/[name]Eugenie[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name]

[name]Ginger[/name] or [name]Imogen[/name] would be nice. Pretty much any name with a “gen” sound will do…

[name]Ginevra[/name]! [name]Ginevra[/name]! I’ve loved it since [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name], and I’ve been wanting someone to use it in real life! There’s also [name]Genevieve[/name], which is gorgeous (and probably more usable than [name]Ginevra[/name]), and [name]Regina[/name], [name]Eugenia[/name], or [name]Virginie[/name] (not a name I would particularly recommend, just though I would mention it).

[name]Ginger[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Jennifer[/name]
[name]Ginnifer[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Regina[/name]
[name]Gina[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name]
[name]Geneva[/name]
[name]Eugenia[/name]
[name]Imogene[/name]
[name]Genesis[/name]
[name]Genesia[/name]
[name]Argentina[/name]
Ingenue

My favorites are [name]Imogen[/name], [name]Ginger[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Georgina[/name].

Other ways to honor a [name]Virginia[/name] is by having a similar meaning (virgin):

[name]Camelia[/name]
Casilda
Arama
Parenthia
Zohartzea
[name]Chastity[/name]
[name]Tamah[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] (actually means “innocent girl”)
Ingenue (means “innocent” in French)

Some of those are pretty far-fetched though, I’m afraid. :frowning:

Also, maybe [name]Elizabeth[/name] works, for the famous virgin queen of [name]England[/name].

Overall, I think your best bet is [name]Imogen[/name]. It’s gorgeous, too! One of my favorite names ever. Good luck! :slight_smile:
