In middle school there was a story in our reading book about this guy who had like six weeks to live and he was a widow with a little girl, and he had to send the little girl off to live with somebody else. The only thing I remember clearly about the story was the kid's name was Minna.

Avoid Minna Pearl; it's very similar to Minnie Pearl, the old-time country singer who was famous for wearing a price tag on her hat.

Minna is cute, and much less nursing-home than Minnie. But I like Wilhelmina much better.
