Full name for nn Min?
So, love the nickname Min (or even Minnie). However, I can't seem to find a full name that works best with it. There are a few I like, but I could use some help. What are some fuller names that could reasonably explain the nickname Min?
A few I have are:
Minerva
Araminta
Minuet
Yasmin

My favorite way is Jessamine, but I also love Minerva & Miranda. I think Minnie can work on its own, FWIW. It is self - consciously quaint, sort of like Maisie, Hattie, or Polly, but it has its charm.

I thought of Araminta when I saw the subject; I have Araminta Poppy Jane "Minnie" on my list. I like Wilhelmina, Hermione, and Amina all with the nickname Min / Minnie :)

Would Miranda work? It's a stretch, but not TOO much of a stretch, IMO.Mindy is nice, but I don't know if you would like it or consider it a full name.

There's Jasmine, but it's such a pretty name I'd hate to see it knocked down to Min or Minnie. Like putting worn-out retreads on a shiny new sports car.
Wilhelmina? Melinda? My grandmother had a friend who was always called Minnie, but her actual name was Mildred.
Minnie Driver's real name is Amelia; her sister couldn't say Amelia.
