I wonder if your Aunt Ginny is the same person as "Skinny Ginny" that my mother has mentioned? I don't know who she was either!

I have a Ginny in my tree and the name on her birth certificate? Ginny So it can be a name in its own right.

Thanks ladies for all the suggestions. It looks like I'll be as stuck as I was when I researched relatives called 'Dolly' real name Alice and 'Peggy' real name Blanche!!!! All the best Louise

I've been trying to find records for my mother's Aunt 'Ginny'. I have no idea who she is or whether she is even a real 'Aunt' since my mother born in 1941 only remembers her from her early childhood. I'm looking for suggestions for the possible name i.e. Virginia or even Jenny. I'd appreciate any other name ideas as I'm stuck!! Thanks, Louise.
