Does Minnie mean Fanjo where you live?

[Verynearlytea]

I love the name and had never heard that it was a name for female bits and bobs until looking on Mumsnet. I am considering it for DC2 (if a girl) but don't want to lump her with a yoni name.

So does Minnie mean Fanjo to you and if yes which county do you live in?

I would also be interested to know which areas Minnie is just the name of a mouse.

I'm in Essex and have several friends who use Minnie in that way - sorry!

Tyne & Wear - never heard it called that before!

Minnie's my dog. Not my pussy.

Midlands and yes I know people who use it that way

I know a mother who calls her fanjo Minnie. she did have a c section. Mine is now a maxi.

Don't live in Middlesbrough but that is what a lot of girls call it in child abuse cases.

I just chortled out loud Melanie. And no need to be sorry 5years, I know it is a name for a fanny just wanted to map out where my future daughter could be safe from sniggering.

Of course I'll not allow her to move ever.

no its a female mouse not a pussy

Ooh interesting - I'm Tyne and Wear too, and I looked after twins years ago who called it their Minnie.

What area are you in Trinity?

burgatroyd, I think mine is a optomistically a midi, soon to be maxi after DC2

Aside from the fanjo connection what if she's a big lass? There's got to be other names you like out there. Or at least give her a long name like Minerva, Mindy, Wilhelmina, Hermione, Araminta or Jasmine where Minnie can be a nn.

My daughter is called Minnie and she has never had comments about female bits.

burgatroyd - I'm due on Halloween so Minerva is def being considered. As is Dumbledore if it's a boy.

No - down in Surrey and never heard it called a Minnie before.... I would think Driver or Mouse before I thought fanjo...

Dilly, is Minnie short for anything?

A friend of mine at University was from Surrey halfdoneharris and used the term "Minnie" to refer to her female parts. It's definitely a term I've heard many times.

Traditionally, Minnie was short for Wilhelmina. An alternative (which I prefer) was 'Minna'.

In parts of Scotland, Minnie was a nickname for Mother. I don't think that it's used now.

When I lived in North Yorkshire I knew people that used Minnie that way

I also had an auntie Miriam that was called Minnie so it was all very confusing

No.South Yorks. Minnie is a mouse or an actress.

I'm in west mids & haven't heard it in ref 2 female bits only Minnie Mouse & actress Minnie driver.
1 of my dh friends calls fanjos -wilma's !!!
My auto correct just said Fannie when I typed in fanjo

Yes, my cousins called it that growing up, and they live in Cornwall.

Yep, Minnie in this house. North West.

I live in North Lincolnshire, and it was quite commonly called a minnie where I lived.

Yep, minnie is sometimes used in Somerset.

But then, so is foofer and I doubt you'd name a child that
