I'm afraid that Minnie does not meet my definition of "classic" as outlined below. A case of it not meeting the criteria regarding frequency of use. Nor is it in any way unique. As a matter of fact, if it were unique, that would bar it from being a classic. To be honest, I'm not on board with the contention that what is and isn't classic is "slippery" and open to interpretation. Words have meanings, and the word "classic" has one. I can't go along with "This name is classic because I like it and I say it is.". This is totally separate from opinions, which are subjective and to which everyone is entitled. A good example of that is your choice of Maria. I heartily dislike the name, but it is a classic.
