what are your thoughts on Mena

[Climbthewall]

For a girl, pronounced "meena"

Pause. Sorry.

I prefer Nina

Does that help?!

It's a lovely Asian name. No harm in using it if you are not Asian, but you - or your daughter - may get curious questions about it.

Thought you meant Menna - but incorrectly spelled.

Sounds a bit like you're going to say menopause!!

I knew a woman with a much-loved daughter called Mena. I think it is pretty but always assumed it was spelled Mina.

I prefer Minna, otherwise it's too much like "meaner"

I like it. In Ireland, there are a few Menas (shortened versions of Philomena).

Like it, very pretty. I know two little girls called Mena, both are lovely.

Or, it could be short for Wilhemina?

I like it but Mina would be a better spelling, otherwise she'll get called Menna.

True but Mina just looks like a typo of Nina imo

I'd go for the Mina spelling too.

Definitely Mina. I love it actually! From Dracula!

How do you pronounce Minna? Is that meena? I think that is nice ( remember it in Dracula)

I like it - knew an asian girl called Meena.

If I saw Mena written down I'd assume it was pronounced Menna, to rhyme with tenner

Oh I like it, I've never heard of a child called that before.

I like it, also like Mona.

Meena.

Mina in Arabic (short for Amina).

Beautiful name.

Mena (Men-ah) is a Welsh name, also pretty.

My mother's name is Mena - it's short for Philomena (Irish).
If my first is a girl, her name will be Mena after my Mum.

I like Mena. Also Wilemina or Philomena.

I think Mena is Eastern European. Meena is Asian. Either way I quite like it but I bet it'd get pronounced Menn-a & May-na a lot.

Really like Mina.

Can anyone thing of other names that Mina or Mena (pronounced Mina) could be short for?

Mena makes me think of the beautiful actress Mena Suvari from American Beauty. I like it a lot.

Eenie meenie miney mo...
