Nickname for Virginia?

Hi! My husband loves the name Virginia after his grandmother. I want to support his decision, but I don’t imagine calling our daughter that but love it for a formal name if she’s like to use it as an adult.

I would love to also have a nickname for her, but am not fond of the typical nn that go with it.

I love Winnie - I know this is technically not connected to Virginia. Is this too far of a stretch? Thank you!

I agree that's not a traditional nickname for Virginia, but it's cute and lots of people have nicknames that have no direct association to their legal name

You can make a nickname whatever you want 🤷‍♀️ my mind goes to "Ginny"

My aunt’s name is Virginia and she goes by Jeanie! Your could always add a name more closely tied to Winnie as a middle name, too.

Winnie is a stretch but it's up to you! Ginny is the most obvious one.

Winnie is great , another option is V. Simple and easy to yell

My mind also goes to Ginny. Winnie does seem a bit far off

Vinnie, Gina and Gia can be nicknames for Virginia.

Winnie is a little bit of a stretch but you can make it work. Other options: Ginny, Vivi, Gigi, Vi, Gia, Nina, Gina. My niece is named Olivia, but everyone calls her Vee or Via.
