According to the movie credits for Harry Potter And the Chamber Of Secrets (the movie) the character is listed as Virginia "Ginny" Weasely. Considering that Rowling is supervising the movie productions, can we assume that as canon evidence to the fact that the full name is indeed Virginia?

I like this little piece of canon, even if based on 
the-celluloid-thingy-which-must-not-be-named. Alina I think you should 
probably submit this to the Lexicon. Even if it's not 100% canon, it's 
as close as we're going to get in quite some time (at least until the 
next online interview with JKR, where we ould introduce the question 
directly: What are the full names of the Weasley's brothers/sister?)

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf
