Even so, if we assume that the names used are all the characters' actual

P, F, G (and it could well be G, F), R, G...

Athena:

Sorry, but everyone seems to forget that the naming scheme starts with A for
Arthur.

Arthur
Bill
Charlie
(gap filled with hypothetical dead son David)
(Edward) Percy
Fred
George

----Death of David---

Arthur and Molly rethinking naming scheme as bad luck
followed by birth of

Ronald
Ginny

Thus allowing for Ron to be a Seventh Son and there being veiled clues.
Yes, I know that there is no canon that explicitly says Percy's first name
is anything other than Percival or Percy.  However, it could be.  And I'm
sticking to my theory.  Why?  Because the lure of a seventh son legend is
strong and it only takes a little tweaking to make it happen.

Let's not debate what Ginny is short for.  That happened months ago when I
first proposed this theory and we had various possibilities including
Virginia, Ipheginia, Guenivere, Jennifer and I forget the rest.  It doesn't
really matter.  We think Ron's first name is Ronald.  It might be, it might
not be.  The strength to me is the large gap between Charlie and Percy and
that the others go:

A
B
C


F
G

Making me think that there might just be a D and E to be inserted in there.
That's why I'm sticking with Percy as being a middle name.  Just like my
cousin whose real first name is Carol but she's always been called Yvonne or
Vonnie.  Why did my aunt and uncle name her one thing and call her another?
Beats me, but I know it happens all the time.


So, take this theory for what it's worth:  another example of a fan
desperate to see patterns and to try and predict what JKR has up her sleeve
while we're are all impatiently waiting for OoP to come out.
