I don't like Ginger at all, same reasons...it sounds too strippery or dog-like, and when I see it spelled Jinger it looks like it's spelled "jin-gur", as to rhyme with singer.
it took me a second to realize that you probably mean for it to be pronounced "ginger"... at first i thought "jingle", followed closely by rhyming with "ringer". ginger strikes me as a name for a horse or dog. also, the stuff that comes on sushi plates that i try to avoid. oh, and the spice girl...
I do prefer Ginger; Jinger sounds like someone misspelled the name just so they could have a J initial, sorry. I also think that it is better as a nickname to Ginevra or Virginia than as a given name.
I think people would either pronounce it wrong, misspell it with a G every single time, or else say, "Oh, like the Duggars?" None of which are particularly flattering situations, I'd say.

Date: 2009-01-25 09:35 pm (UTC)I don't like Ginger either because of the spice girls association.
