HelpRe: Minerva
in reply to a message by snapdragon
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.

No kids to name here. :-D I love Bridget, it has a fascinating history. Lavinia, Ignatia, and Camilia are fun. I might stash those away for future pets, especially Ignatia.
