I try to think of saying
Minerva like "mi-NER-va" rather than "mi-NERV-a", if that helps. I like
Minerva a lot, I think it's quirky and charming with a great meaning. You use could
Mimi and Miffy as nicknames as well as
Minnie.
Alternatively, the name
Athena could be a great option since she is the Greek counterpart of
Minerva. There's also
Bridget, who is the Irish goddess of wisdom. Maybe, since
Minerva is possibly an Etruscan origin name, check out some Etruscan origin names like
Camilla,
Ignatia and
Lavinia. There's a category down the bottom of those names that says "Etruscan" and you can browse more Etruscan names that way.
