[Opinions] Re: Minnie?
I had a great-aunt named Mildred who was always called Minnie. Also, Minnie Driver's real name is Amelia, her sister couldn't pronounce it so she ended up as Minnie.Other things it might be short for:MelindaMirandaMinnaWilhelminaJasmine? Jessamine?Jemima?MaryMargaretMarlene/MarlenaMonica?Miriam?Marian?With Minerva, you'd be lucky if she ended up Minnie. She'd probably get called Nervie at least a few times.

Wilhemina and Miriam sound most plausible.Another reason I wouldn't use Minerva as a first name is that it's kind of ugly :) I really like it though.
