Girl's name that can be shortened to Minnie

[WinkyWinkola]

Any ideas?

Do you know any children? If you do, ask them what the word "Minnie" means to them.

Then think of another name.

Yes as above.

It's the littlies word for vagina round here...

seriously i am sorry but the first thing that popped in to my head was "vagina" then but i changed my mind because i thought it was to rude until i saw the previous post.

Yes, was coming here to say Vagina but have been beaten to it.

first person that popped into my head was Minnie Driver - googled her, and she was born Amelia, which is lovely!

What about Frances, shortened to Fanny? [/joking]

Have to say, though, I have never encountered Minnie as a euphemism for vagina anywhere but on mumsnet.

I know a Minnie short for Jasmine. I don't mean to be rude but the poor girl gets a lot of stick for her name given that she isn't, well, minnie.

Hermione? Jasmine? Minette?

I'd also be worried that the gods would conspire against me and she'd end up enormous.

Just another voice agreeing that Minnie = vagina.

I have never ever heard Minnie used for vagina. Well, I'm glad actually. Dh loves the name - it's his late aunt's name - and he wants to use it if we have a dd this year. I do not like Minni myself so was looking for alternatives. Great news! Surely we can't possibly use it now?

really percy? i remember at school that running around and me not having any idea what people were on about also didnt know jasmine was shortened to minnie, dp has a dd called that and she calls her vagina her minnie though i once said huh? oh you mean your vagina and now she runs around talking about her vagina. probably better given her name.

I agree

Minnie = vagina where I'm from.

Could it be a Southern thing? I hadn't heard it either until my children went to school, and found looking at family photographs hysterical- my grandma was Minnie!

I suppose it could also be an homage to Minnie Caldwell from Corrie.

Also: Amina, Wilhemina?

nope perfect reason to not use it winky

I've never heard of 'minnie' meaning vagina except on Mumsnet either. Probably wouldn't use it as a name having heard that though.

Defo a vagina around here (south east!).

Ds has a little friend called Minna which I think is pretty, do you like that?

Yes people use Minnie for vagina but I do know a Minnie and don't think er fanny just think its a sweet name. Mary is also used for vagina and people don't seem to mind using that.

Minerva?

Hermione? Miriam? I think it's also a nickname for Mary

I have never heard the vagina thing!

I always though Minnie was short for Wilhemina.

A lot of wags have suggested Minnie to us as my name is Mikki!

Fanny is also a name in itself

Dds nickname is Mini, though it doesn't really relate to her name.

DD2 is called Yazmin which was shortened to Minnie when she was little.
Unfortunately, for her, she was also called Minnie Moo and has now become just Moo!

I had a Great Aunt Minnie, shortened to Min. I think Minnie was her actual name.Why does it have to be short for something?
Never heard of the euphemism here.
