Unfortunately, the very similar mineta is the Polish word for cunnilingus. Minette Léocadie ? Sister to Winston and Dimity?masculine list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/191050/124079

Yikes, the meaning in French slang puzzled me. I never expected it to mean something like that.Anyway, I adore the middle name. Winston is very fitting and British Victorian sounding. Dimity sounds strange, along with the meaning. I'd replace it with Cecily / Cicely.

According to wiktionary, "minette" also means that in French slang https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/faire_minette#FrenchI'm of the opinion that if a name works in the language and culture the child will be growing up in, it's fair game, but it may be worth keeping in mind that similar words refer to going down on someone in several languages (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/minette#French) and people speaking them may have this association.FWIW I think it's a nice sounding word and if it didn't immediately bring this 18+ imagery to my mind I would probably find it to be one of the more tolerable -ette names.
