Love the name Minnie!!

With the vagina slang.. Willy and Percy is also. Doesn’t stop many people calling their sons William and Percy. Just saying!

I'm in South London and I've heard it used for vagina a good few times. I'm not from here originally so didn't know about it before but it does seem to be pretty common usage.

BabyLlamaZen · 02/07/2020 13:56

In which part of the country is it vagina?

Destroyedpeople · 01/07/2020 23:38

Oh I don't know..'Pippa' is slightly worse.
How about triplets then...Minnie, Fanny and Pippa...?

Cauterize · 01/07/2020 23:33

It really is terrible, like one of the worst names ever. Athough I agree with PP, if it's twins go with Minnie and Fanny Grin

BackforGood · 01/07/2020 23:23

No.
Don't do it.

My daughter’s name is not Minnie but my son can’t pronounce her actual name so he calls her Minnie. So now she has become Minnie by accident. Obviously it’s not the name I would have chosen for her, knowing its connotations, but it actually suits her so well and now I find it really cute.

Limpid · 01/07/2020 23:17

I find it a bit mimsy. It’s the kind of name you’d give a second-string character in a sitcom, like one of the heroine’s more peripheral friends...

Destroyedpeople · 01/07/2020 23:16

Don't shoot the messenger! I only found out as my own dd had it as a nickname for a while cos so small.
Possibly it's regional.

EmpressoftheMundane · 01/07/2020 23:15

If you really love it, perhaps use it as a nickname, so she has a fall back. Traditionally, it’s a nickname for Mary. It would also work as a nickname for Wilhelmina or Minerva.

@Destroyedpeople

No. Its'what little girls call their private parts.
Since fucking when!? I’ve got a vagina and never felt the need to fucking name it!!

I know a Minnie, she’s adorable!

Notapheasantplucker · 01/07/2020 23:09

No 😣

SpookyNoise · 01/07/2020 23:05

No.

Harpischord · 01/07/2020 23:04

Please, please don't do this to her. Please.

whatausername · 01/07/2020 22:56

I like it but I've heard a lot of people here on MN say it's slang for vulva or vagina. If it's such common slang that would render it a pet-only name for me.

drumandthebass · 01/07/2020 22:55

Awful. Don't do it

sibbys · 01/07/2020 22:49

Ha ha. I've posted this exact same post 4 months ago. Got put off when everyone said it is what little girls call their private parts. Love it though!

Floralnomad · 01/07/2020 22:49

Awful .

SnowdropFox · 01/07/2020 22:48

Never heard of the vagina slang but I dont particularly like it for the mouse and mini car associations.

DeepSleepBathSoak · 01/07/2020 22:47

Disney mouse/vagina. It's a no from me.

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 01/07/2020 22:46

Its up there with Fannie. In fact, if you have twins....

Nishky · 01/07/2020 22:44

I love it- and if someone has a nickname for their vagina, that’s their issue. Don’t let oddball put you off.

Aquamarine1029 · 01/07/2020 22:42

My cousin's daughter named her baby Minnie. I think it's awful. Weak and daft. Sorry.

DramaAlpaca · 01/07/2020 22:42

God no. Don't do that to the poor child.

Luckingfovely · 01/07/2020 22:40

I really like it!
