I think I'm feeling kind of the opposite of RB Constance. I don't want to like it, but I like it anyway. I don't love the goddess connection, and I hear the nerve part as implying courage (to have nerve).It reminds me of names like Rowena, Ramona, Marcella, Ursula, Benedicta, Tamara, but I don't think I'd use those with it.I like Beatrix, Juniper, Paloma, Zoe with it.Minerva Darlene

I want to like it. The goddess is neat. The intellectual meaning is nice, and I love Minerva McGonagall. However, Minnie is so twee, and the Nerva part sounds twitchy and highstrung. For a middle name, I would want something with nerves of steel or that doesn't make me think of nervous conditions at all.Minerva Consuelo

Nathaniel Silvanus - Jason might go better, but he isn't one of my favorite characters.

I can't stand it. I'm not sure why though.

I like it. A bit starchy as a first but excellent middle name fodder. I like all of your combo ideas there isn't one I don't like. Minerva Zoe looks slightly off in style but it still sounds suitable. Hmm siblings...

Hmm I'm not crazy about it. I do prefer it to Athena, and Minnie is cute, but the "nerve" part bothers me.Minerva Camille
