My name is Jennifer Riesely. But try getting anyone besides my parents to call me Jenny now. Oh no. Now, I’m Ginny Weasly. My friends and siblings are all Harry Potter buffs, and they all thought it was great how my name sounds a bit like hers. And I have the misfortune of being born with red hair. Well, kind of misfortune.

People used to consider that unlucky, you know. Once upon a time, it was thought that babies with red hair was a telltale sign that their parents had had sex during the mother’s period. How crazy is that?
