[Opinions] Re: Full name for Minnie
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
Maxine would work very well. The only possible problem is that Max, Maxie etc are such obvious nns that they may well overtake Minnie in everyday life. Same problem with Jasmine - it turns into Jazz while you watch.
Wilhelmina is inconveniently long! Hermina would have worked, but now it'd be misread as Hermione (which wouldn't work). I hesitate to suggest Mona (Moaning Minnie), but it's in my head so it may as well be in yours too. Minnie Mouse started life as Minerva, which would work better on a human than on a cartoon rodent.
