ArchivesTut, Dodd, and Nerva
Does anyone know the meanings of the male names Tut and Dodd? Also, could Nerva be a nickname for Minerva? Thanks!

Tut sounds disapproving - perhaps it's short for Tutankhamun?
Doddie is a Scottish nickname for people named George. Try the surname list for both of 'em.
As for Nerva, it was the name of a Roman emperor, and as such masculine. Short for Minerva - well, depends on how you feel about Minnie, I suppose. Gives a nervous impression ... probably OK for the family cat if it's the sort that leaps around a lot.
