What Do We Think Of Minnie? Is It Always A Mouse?

I'm 26 weeks along with DC3 who is (probably, according to scan) a little girl.

We are struggling somewhat on girls' names we both like & last night I resorted to doing a bit of "ancestry research" into old family names on DH's side (I pretty much know all on my side - well my mum does - and none of them are possibilities Sad). The only one that I've found & am considering is Minnie. What do you think? Is it a good name or will people forever say "as in the mouse?" Confused.

Both DS1 & DS2 have recycled family names so in a way in would be nice for DC3 to have one too.

Any comments greatly appreciated Grin.

Round here it's commonly used childhood slang for the female genitals. And I do mean commonly used - I reckon everyone in ds's year 5 class would giggle if a new girl called Minnie turned up.
