HelpRe: Mina (full name)
in reply to a message by Felie
I met an Italian girl named this a few years ago. I remember being confused because I also thought that no Italian parents would use it because of the meaning. How common did this ever become in Italy? Just wondering. She was born in the early 90s and there aren't really any official statistics from that time. Was the singer popular back then?
She also had a middle name that wasn't so common in Italy, I guess, her middle name was Tania. She was definitely born in Italy and has an Italian surname.
I always thought that maybe her full name was Romina or something which seems to have been used a bit in Italy. But I guess not...? No idea.
I prefer the similar Mira as a full name. Mina is missing something. It's okay, nothing wrong with it, but nothing exciting about it either. Nina, Luna...they are similar but much more vibrant and colorful, in my opinion.

Hi !!!
Currently in Italy people whose name is Mina are around 4000.
It is the 794° name used in Italy.
Yes it could be both full name and NN.
Since 2000 every year around 20-30 babies has this name.
So it is not "popular" but it goes better than other names.
Tania had a boom in 1990s like Sharon, Nicole, Jessica...
The most were Italian children so it was only a trend.
I tell the truth..
I like Mina because she was one of my granny's favourite singer and I remember when she told me her performances and so on.
So Mina is for me a link with my family and "little familiar traditions"...something like this.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
