Help[Opinions] Re: Minna
in reply to a message by Puck
It's so funny that Minna seems quite exotic a name to anglophones. Here in Finland it's a very common name (especially among females born in the 1960's and 1970's) and that way plain to me.
That said, I definitely prefer Minna to Minnie. Minnie is too nickname-y, but it works as a pet's name and, yes, as a nickname (e.g. Minerva "Minnie" would be cute). I know that Minna is also ultimately a diminutive of Wilhelmina, but it would still work as its own. Of your combos, Minna Florence, Minna Constance, Minna Lucille and Minna Dorothy are prettiest to me.
