HelpRe: Minnie
in reply to a message by Eilis
Darn, I adore Wilhelmina and Minerva.
Usually, Minnie is from variants of William such as Wilhelmina, Minette, Minetta . . . there are others but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Others that you might like:
Dominique
Araminta
Tamsin
Mary / Miriam
Miranda
Euphemia
Emmeline
Mina
Hermione
Melanie
Jasmine / Jessamine
Madeline / Madeleine ("MAD-a-lin")
Minna
Germaine
Mayim
Maureen
Megan
Myfanwy (mi-VAWN-wee)
Emily
I know some of these are a stretch. But nns are the place for creativity and whimsy, to me. I can see older siblings not being able to pronounce a newborn's name such as the ones above and coming out with "Minnie."
