Help[Opinions] Mina
This is a name I meant to mention in my earlier post for opinions but it slipped my mind.
I used to absolutely love this name when I was younger. No doubt heavily influenced by the Sailor Moon dub that I was crazy about when I was 9-12 and watched on T.V. Then I don't know what happened to get me to take it off my list. Perhaps it was when I learned her real name a couple of years ago and so it no longer held the same appeal. I don't know. But anyway now I'm liking it again.
Can you think of any other names that Mina could be a nn for besides Wilhelmina? I like Wilhelmina but I am not absolutely crazy about it.
Thank you,
Jamie

LOL I liked Sailor Moon too.
Anyway, I love the name Mina. I actually like Wilhelmina, too. Anything with a -mina- in it would work. Adamina, Jesamina, Minako (LOL). Mina on its own is pretty, but I don't know that I'd use it.

Thanks! I hadn't thought about Adamina, I like that more than Wilhelmina I think.
I'll save Minako on my list in case I fall in love and marry a Japanese man or one day adopt a baby girl from Japan. I think it would look/sound weird on a child who wasn't even partly Japanese. I'll leave the Sailor Moon part out when re-telling how I named her though. It does have a really nice meaning so that should work well enough. ;)

What about the name Melina? I think that it would be a cute nn. :)

Mina is my favourite girls name! I don't think it needs to be a nn, but I like Adamina a lot. I like Wilhelmina as well.

Mina is on my top ten list--it's adorable! Personally, I love it on its own, but I also think it would be great as a nn to Philomina/Philomena, a lovely name! Someone mentioned a Greek origin having something to do with moon, and I've actually found several other meanings as well. I don't know how accurate some of these are, but I'll list them for you anyway:
Japanese: all, everyone, everything
German: love
Persian: blue sky
Hindi: born in the lunar month of Pisces
Arabic: harbor
Although Mina is not currently in my top three, I'm often tempted to move it there...

Thanks for the suggestions
I do like Mina on it's own as well but I was curious what other names could get the nn Mina to see if I liked any a lot.
I do like:
Adamina
Marina
Melina
Thanks for all the suggestions. If I were to ever use it, it would likely be on it's own and not as a nn but I'm glad to know there are some great names out there that can give me Mina as nn just in case.
