What do you think of the baby name Mina?

[Augustbutterfly]

I love this name and all the meanings in different cultures, what comes to mind when you hear the name Mina?

Dracula

I absolutely love it.

Cute!

Dracula.

I do like it.

I don’t like it. I think it’s the “ina” sound as I equally don’t like Nina or Dina

Dracula. But it’s a nice name.

I love it!

I like it.

I really like it. I would assume the little girl is Indian though.

Dracula - but I think the character is actually called Wilhelmina

I don't love it but don't hate it either

Is it pronounced “meaner”?

I would assume the little girl is Indian
Tbh this came into my mind too, because of the actress Mina Anwar.

I love it!

I would assume Indian too.
Navid’s wife from Still Game.

Is it pronounced “meaner”?

Mee-nah there’s no R.

Love it.

Reminds me of dracula and glenroe

It's pronounced mine-a

what's the difference in those pronunciations.
they sound exactly the same to me.
which is why i don't like it as a name.
meaner is not a good association.

The Mina I know is pronounced Mee-nah

I love it . Little girl does have Indian heritage

I wanted one of ours to be named Nina but DH vetoed it

Dracula. I like it.

mine-ah

sounds like a minah bird, or one who delves in the earth.
also not pretty ideas.
if it's on the end of a longer name, like wilhemina, that's better, because there are more options, and it's not the full name.

Mee nah is how I would pronounce meaner. Which seems a bit cruel...

The only Mina I know pronounces her name "meaner". Which puts me in mind of, "Is my child meaner than your child?"

Sorry OP!

Pretty name

I would assume some sort of Indian heritage and pronounce it Mee-nah.

It’s alright, not my favourite by any means.

It’s extremely feminine IMO
