This was my grandmother's name and she was wonderful, so I love it. To me, it is sad that this name has completely fallen out of use. Of course, I'm sure parents avoid it because of the Minnie Mouse factor.
This, somehow, has turned into a nickname that my friends and family have given me. I'm a skinny person, so people will call me 'Skinny Minnie'. Ugh. The name itself is very pretty, but to me, it's simply a despised nickname. Which is weird since my name is Sierra. How do you get Minnie out of that? :)
