Help[Opinions] Minnie
I'm loving Minnie right now. Wdyt? What full name would you go for?
I'm leaning towards Maria, Jasmine or Dominique as full names. I love Minerva I theory but I think it's a bit much in real life.

You could use Minnie as a short form of any feminine given name that contains -min-.
My personal favourites are Almina, Arminia, Maximina, Minadora, Miniver, Romina and Wilhelmina.

My favorite is definitely Minerva nn Minnie. My second favorite is Dominique nn Minnie.
There is also Wilhelmina/ Willemina nn Minnie and even though it is a traditional nn it has always felt like a slight stretch since they are different sounds.
I have been debating about whether or not I like Minnie since some part of me feels like it is a little too cute but overall I think it is usable just not for me since my aunt's cat is named Minnie.

I tried for years to find a name that would work well with Minnie, and that I liked.
Minette came close, but it's become a slang term in France that is not very nice (think, female body parts).
Still, I technically like the name.
Minerva was also a bit too much for us, but I tried to convince myself that it might work... same thing with Arminta or Araminta.
Jasmina and Domino made my list for a while. Carmina and Ismene made it to the top a few times too.
The actress Minnie Driver was born Amelia, so that would work probably.
If I wanted to use Minnie today, I think I would go with Noemin or Melina as the full name.
Willamina is not my style really, but it's sweet enough that I think it would work today too.
Btw - love Minnie or even the simpler Min.

I think Wilhelmina would work.
Minnie can also work on its own. During the late 19th and early 20th century, it was primarily a name on its own.

I think Minerva's great
As to Minnie, I'd never be able to disassociate it from the mouse. But I guess it could work as a nickname.

I would just use Minnie by itself, but I also looooove Minna.
Another full name I’d consider is Winifred, which is used given the same logic as...
Margaret : Meg : Peg
Mary : Molly : Polly
Winifred : Winnie : Minnie
...by changing the first initial to give variety.
Wilhelmina is one I would not use, because on the wrong person, I feel like the name could be a disastrous cross to bear.

I don’t like it, mostly because it’s my aunts dogs name so it’s hard to see it as anything else. That and, I mean, what if she’s not Minnie? Also I feel like it only works on a little kid.
I don’t really see how Maria works. I like Dominique most. (-:

I adore it, but only as a nickname.
Araminta is another long version that works.

I’ve loved Minnie ever since I heard it on a character a couple a years ago (her full name was Winifred). But my favourite name for a cat is Minerva nn Minnie, so I took it off my list. My favourite full name for Minnie is Hermione, and I quite like Minette, Clemency, and Wilhelmina nn Minnie too.
