Eeeeppp EEK this is my name so I’m obviously very biased towards it hahahah :joy: I love my name now, but I used to dislike it when I was younger for some reason haha. I think it’s simple to say, spell, and versatile as it’s used in a lot of different countries and languages ^^ it’s also not super common or popular, and I really like the reason why my parents gave me my name
[name_f]Mira[/name_f] is actually my great-aunt’s name HAHAHHA but it’s a nice meaning as well :))
I don’t have a middle name sadly but I feel like any middle name that’s a bit longer to make it more balanced would work ^^

  1. I love Mina!! I love her as a nickname for [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] or just on her own!
  2. Out of those I’d rank them [name_f]Mira[/name_f] > [name_f]Mina[/name_f] > [name_f]Nina[/name_f]
  3. I heard [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u] once which I actually really like!! The a’s do run into each other a bit though. I also like [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], and [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u]!

I’m pretty neutral on it. I have never met one, but I think it could be cute irl. :slight_smile:

Personally, I prefer both Nina and Mira to Mina.

Something soft and gentle matches Mina’s vibe, I think. Maybe…

I’m not keen personally, where I’m from it’s pronounced identically to meaner.
I prefer [name_f]Nina[/name_f].
As far as middles go, for some reason [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Renée[/name_f] came to mind?

I didn’t really associate it with meaner. I’ll think on that.

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Renee[/name_f] is cute!

[name_f]Mina[/name_f] is a special name to me as it was my grandma’s name! She was a Polish Jew so I associate it with an Eastern European feel. It’s always been on both my list and my sister’s list as a potential first or middle name for a daughter. However my husband vetoed it for the teasing potential of the nickname “meanie.” Now we call our baby [name_f]Willa[/name_f] “Wilhelmina” sometimes which feels like a sweet allusion.

I prefer [name_f]Mina[/name_f] to [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and if [name_f]Mina[/name_f] wasn’t a family name, I would love [name_f]Mina[/name_f] and [name_f]Nina[/name_f] equally.

Hmm, middle names…
[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] come to mind. [name_f]My[/name_f] grandma didn’t have one!
