Who is Gigi Smith....Alexandria, VA? That's Virginia right?

Question: I got this welcome newsletter that was from Gigi Smith, like I am supposed to know who that is.....and is Gigi a man's name or is that a lady? I thought Gigi Smith was a college basketball player from the University if Georgia. GO DAWGS!!!

Answer: Yes, Alexandria, VA refers to the city of Alexandria, in Viriginia; as you have figured out, it's a suburb of Washington, DC. And Gigi is a woman's name. In French, it is a name in its own right (remember the Broadway musical, "Gigi"?). But in this country, it is also sometimes used as a nickname for "Virginia." I don't know what kind of newsletter you received, but I used to work for a company that sent out "signed" letters with made-up names. They stopped using the names of real people after one employee had a problem with a stalker. So, there may or may not actually be a person named Gigi Smith. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
