Ginny Rorby: My name is Ginny Rorby. Ginny is spelled the same way as Ginny in Harry Potter, but mine is a nickname for Virginia.
Rorby is Danish. And I think my grandfather deleted... It was R-O-R-B-Y-E when my father came here from Denmark, but my grandfather dropped the E, and perhaps he was just tired of people saying ROAR-BYE instead of ROAR-BEE.
