HelpRe: Minerva
in reply to a message by snapdragon
I like it. I think the vibe is vaguely like Rowena, Irma, Ursula, Minnie, Marjorie, Miranda, Mirta, Niobe, Vivienne, Veda. It's more curmudgeonly than Athena but less so than Vesta.
It seems intense in an understated way.
I used to have a boss named Minerva. She was born in the 70s in Mexico.
I don't get hung up on the the nerve part, but if I did, I wouldn't feel like it's negative; nerve means daring, and being nervy can be endearing. I'm in the minority who like Minerve better than Minerva anyway. There's a reliable grandma type character named Minerve in a book I like (written in the 70s, set in the Caribbean), so maybe I associate it with that.
