[Opinions] Re: Florence & Virginia
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
Florence, nah. Can't help you. I think it's blowsy.
Virginia is as much a solid old classic name as Victoria is, but without the royal bluster, nor the fad or any risk of fad-ness. And anyway, it sounds neat. And: Ginny, Ginger, Gina. If the "virgin" thing bothers you, though, there may be no help for you. Either you can overlook it or you can't. For me, the existence of the state, plus the well-known Virginias still in living memory, make it seem irrelevant, and kinda juvenile for people to even think of it when they see the name.
