No offense meant, Nigel/Neil/Ford!  I *like* the name Nigel.  I just 
always used to ponder the fact that the credits on British TV shows 
were loaded with Nigels and Ians.  Ian has caught on stateside, but I 
have never, ever met a Nigel in the USA.  So it remains an oddity.  A 
nice oddity!  Very nice!  Please don't run me over!

Re:  Ginny=Virginia, I'm pretty sure there's canon evidence that her 
name IS Virginia.  In my bookless state, I can only encourage and 
suggest...encourage and suggest...

Aw, shucks--an infomercial just for me?  Thanks--and, as always, ROFL!

Which they were, natch!

Just came up with another eyesight-impaired wizard:  Mr. W.  That 
one's easy; he wears glasses because he thinks they make him more 
Muggleish.

who would prefer to have a more unusual name...maybe I should start 
telling people it's short for Amontillado? (hey, I wrote that before 
reading Catlady's Amiabilia suggestion!  You know what they say about 
great minds...)
