I don’t hate it, but given that min- often means “small” and that -“ette” also means small, it feels a bit strange and redundant. It’s like the pretty version of naming somebody Tinylittle. It has an objectively nice sound, but it does feel a bit nicknamey, since -ette was usually added to other standalone names as a form of endearment. So that enhances the artificially childlike feel, like maybe Minette’s parents didn’t want her to grow up.
