All I can think of is that this is what a little girl I knew used to call Minnie Mouse before she could say Minnie

I think this is the best nickname name! I'd definitely use it as a first name.

I think I'd use Minna and Min as nicknames for the fabulous Minerva.

One of the sweet, strong, unfussy, familiar-yet-unusual two-syllable names for girls that I'm really liking at the moment. It reminds me of Willa, Calla, Milla, Lilla and the like, and I prefer it to Mina (and Lilla to Lila, and Milla to Mila).

While I am very keen on Mina, I hate this.
