Honestly, not a bad name when you really think about it. It doesn't sound too much like a name because of who it's associated with though. It's kind of hard to believe this was such a popular name back in the day, but I can understand why. It only sounds cutesy because of the association with a children's character. I say, bring back Minnie!
Love this name! I don’t associate it with Minnie Mouse when I first hear it, I think of the Victorian era. I think it’s better as a nickname but it’s still cute!
I like it as a nickname. My daughter Carmen (8YO) has this as a family nickname and being a former Minnie Mouse fan she loves it! I wouldn’t use it as a full name because it doesn’t age very well.
This, somehow, has turned into a nickname that my friends and family have given me. I'm a skinny person, so people will call me 'Skinny Minnie'. Ugh. The name itself is very pretty, but to me, it's simply a despised nickname. Which is weird since my name is Sierra. How do you get Minnie out of that? :)
This was my grandmother's name and she was wonderful, so I love it. To me, it is sad that this name has completely fallen out of use. Of course, I'm sure parents avoid it because of the Minnie Mouse factor.
