I love it. I think it's a great middle name as well. Here are combos other than mine, which is Minerva Maria Cecilia:

---

Minerva Jane
Minerva Rose (really red)
Minerva Marie
Minerva Frances

---

Katharine Minerva
Anna Minerva
Bella Minerva
Charlotte Minerva
Claudia Minerva
Alice Minerva
Emma Minerva
Helen Minerva
Elen Minerva

I like Minerva and I think you could use the nickname Minnie which is really cute. It could make a comeback, because of Harry Potter, but I kind of think it might put people off because Minerva is an old character in the book.

I love Godess names, have you looked at any others - I especially like Ariadne, Evadne, Artemisia and Juno

I do not like it. The sound is too harsh and I do not like the "nerve" part. I do not think so because I has been off for awhile and was never that popular.

I can totally see it making a comeback in the next few years.

i didn't know there was a Minerva in Harry Potter!
i like Minerva, but probably as a mn.

---

shorter middle names would go better, e.g.
Minerva Jane
Minerva Grace
etc

I don't think anything could be ruined by Harry Potter!

I like the name Minerva, but i find the 'nerve' sound milding irritating (but not enought to turn me off it). I think if you like it, use it.

Minerva Sofia
Minerva May
Minerva Willow

I once knew twins called Minerva and Monopoly, which was a bit much, so I've never really considered Minerva on its own, but now that I do I actually find it very pretty. I guess they'd end up called Minnie at school though, and that was the name of my cat when I was younger, so that puts me off a bit.
I'd say for mns you want something simple and less frilly - Minerva Kay, etc
