Are there any other names besides the obvious [name]Minerva[/name] and [name]Wilhelmina[/name] that could have [name]Minnie[/name] as a nickname? As much as I would love to be able to use [name]Wilhelmina[/name], it’s just too close to my fiance’s name ([name]William[/name]), and I would like to use it as a mn for a boy.
Thanks Berries!
[name]Hermione[/name], [name]Minette[/name]…erm. I honestly think you could go with [name]Minnie[/name] on its own, seems solid enough to me.
[name]Araminta[/name] or [name]Minette[/name] would be my picks, though I was told by someone else on this forum that [name]Minette[/name] has inappropriate connotations in [name]France[/name].
[name]Carmen[/name]
Minela
[name]Melinda[/name]
[name]Mignonette[/name]
I adore the NN [name]Minnie[/name], and the FN [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and [name]Araminta[/name]. The NN [name]Minnie[/name] actually derives from [name]Wilhelmina[/name]. With that said, I think it can work for others:
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Domenica[/name]
[name]Benjamina[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Jasmine[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
Miriamne
[name]Minta[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name] (pr. [name]Jess[/name]-a-min)
[name]Benjamina[/name]
[name]Thomasin[/name]
[name]Araminta[/name]
[name]Tasmin[/name]
[name]Jasmine[/name], [name]Yasmin[/name]
Here are some suggestions:
[name]Min[/name]
[name]Mia[/name] ([name]Mia[/name] means “Mine”–>[name]Minnie[/name] etc-but this would probably be too complicated)
[name]Myna[/name] (a variation of [name]Minerva[/name] and probably a favourite from this list!)
[name]Meena[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]/[name]Minna[/name]
Herrmyn (hermin)
Karmin(another favourite)
[name]Jasmine[/name] (another favourite)
[name]Yasmine[/name]
[name]Tasmine[/name]
[name]Jarmin[/name]
I’d say the most obvious choices are [name]Minerva[/name], [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Philomena[/name] and [name]Marina[/name].
I love the nn [name]Minnie[/name]…so cute! My daughter is obsessed w/ [name]Minnie[/name] Mouse though so not sure it would ever work in this house haha I think [name]Wilhelmina[/name] is def the best option but others have made lots of other suggestions that are usable. Though I don’t like any as much as [name]Wilhelmina[/name]! What if you never have a boy? It would be a great way to be sure you get to honour your husband’s name by using it for daughter. And if you’re always calling her [name]Minnie[/name] anyway then it’s not as if you’re saying [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and [name]William[/name] together all the time. [name]Just[/name] a thought!
I know a girl that get’s called Mini because her name is Dominique, doMINIque.

I’m a fan of Miniver. Delicate and sweet.
Also recently heard Lusmina (Lus “light” + mina “flower”)
I’ve heard if women with the full name of [name]Mary[/name] going by [name]Minnie[/name] (which is cute, btw). I could also see it working for:
[name]Miranda[/name]
[name]Dominica[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Marianna[/name]/[name]Marianne[/name]
I like [name]Amelia[/name] as a full name for [name]Minnie[/name].
The suggestion of [name]Mary[/name] is a good one too. [name]Mary[/name] is the kind of name that works well for unexpected nicknames.
I know a [name]Myrna[/name] who was called [name]Minnie[/name] growing up. I also think it couuld work as a nickname for [name]Maxine[/name] if you want to avoid [name]Maxi[/name].
other ideas-
[name]Domino[/name]
[name]Philomina[/name]
[name]Minna[/name]
[name]Tasmin[/name]
[name]Aminta[/name]
[name]Lumina[/name]
[name]Adamina[/name]
[name]Dominica[/name]
[name]Mina[/name]
[name]Carmin[/name]
[name]Irmina[/name]
[name]Benjamina[/name]
[name]Tamsin[/name]
Thomasina
Amina
SO many wonderful suggestions. I didn’t even think about [name]Amelia[/name], a name I really like, but has been growing too popular for my liking.
Does anyone think [name]Miriam[/name] would work as a full for [name]Minnie[/name]? Or does [name]Mimi[/name] make more sense? I can’t use [name]Mimi[/name], that was my sister [name]Mariah[/name]'s childhood nickname.
I second [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Marina[/name], and [name]Marianne[/name]/[name]Marianna[/name].

[name]Marie[/name]
[name]Carmina[/name]
It is a nickname for many names starting with m, they don’t even have to have an -min- in them, but it is a cutesy nickname that people give. You could pretty much do any m name, [name]Mary[/name], [name]Marie[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Marguerite[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name], [name]Melanie[/name], [name]Michelle[/name], [name]Megan[/name], etc.
