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.

sorry just read back and seen Minna is evil aunt!
Think I wouldn't worry about the fanjo connection -- never heard of it personally and unless it is used commonly around you, I doubt it would be a problem.
Always thought Minnie Driver was a bit of a weird name though... does she have a sister called Laurie?!
