Longer Name for NN Minnie

Girl Names
1

I love the nn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]. Actually, I really like [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] by itself. However, I don’t think the hubs will go for it. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you know of any suggestions other than [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] that you can use [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] as a nn for?

2

I believe [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] was originally the nickname for [name_f]Mary[/name_f] and Wihelmina :slight_smile: It could also be used for [name_f]Manon[/name_f], [name_f]Willamina[/name_f], [name_u]Dominique[/name_u], [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]… Anything that ends with -mine really!

Wihelmina is really growing on me! Here’s to hoping hubby likes it too!!!

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] with longer nn [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
Minisa
Cosimine
[name_f]Lumina[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Minette[/name_f]

5

The first one I thought of was [name_f]Hermione[/name_f].
However I do think that you could just use [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] as a (family) nickname for every name, since it also fits into the “sweetie, honey, pumpkin” category.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce Cosimine?

[name_f]Lumina[/name_f], interesting…

[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_m]Driver[/name_m]'s real name was [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]! I also love [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] and have been undertaking this search myself for some time. My favourites are [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] & [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]. There’s also [name_f]Jasmin[/name_f], though that’s less to my taste than the other names.

I have also become more of a fan of [name_f]Willamina[/name_f] recently - I love the sound of the name [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]/[name_f]Willamina[/name_f] anyway, but to me this spelling has a softer, younger feel. Good luck! :slight_smile:

8

[name_u]True[/name_u], I may end up having to do that if I don’t get my way! :wink:

9

I say Cosimine like coz-uh-meen, but you could pronounce the -mine part of the name like the word “mine.” I’ve also heard it said CO-zeh-meen.

10

Absolutely [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the name [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. A friend of mine recently named her baby [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], however. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t want to be a copycat. :frowning:

Yes, [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] is definitely growing on me! Not preggers yet and won’t be for at least another year so I’ve got time to think on it! :slight_smile:

  • [name_u]Marian[/name_u]

  • [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Marin[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]

13

[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]?

14

I’ve always thought [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], while a bit of a stretch, is a great way to get to [name_f]Minnie[/name_f]. Something about the sounds ([name_f]Immy[/name_f] and -en) swoosh just fine into [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

15

My favourites aside from [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] are:
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
Mariamne - haven’t seen this one mentioned yet.
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]

16

I think you could get away with using it for any name starting with M!

I also love the suggestions of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].
