Minerva.(probably already posted, I haven't read the others.)Mildred -a stretch, though.

I really hate Minnie. It's what would stop me giving Minerva - one of my absolute favourites - to a daughter

Wilhelmina, Minette, Mina, Amina, Thomasina, Minerva, Araminta, Hermione (probably my favourite option), Jessamine, Jasmine, Yasmin, Minuet, Marilyn, Philomena. Or it could be a cute pet name.I love Minnie, and used to have it on my list, but if ever get a girl cat she'll be Minerva nn Minnie, so I took it off the human list haha. Plus it's likely if I had a Minnie, it would be very ironic.

Winifred or Araminta.I think Minnie is perfectly acceptable on its own with no longer form.

My grandmother had a friend whose given name was Mildred but she always went by Minnie. I hate both names, but I'd rather be Minnie than Mildred, any day.Wilhelmina? Jessamine? (Though I think Jessamine's too pretty a name to cut it short.)

I hadn't heard the name Jessamine before. Hmm that's different.

I know a couple of women named Minette; however, both of them are nick-named Mumu.
I would never put up with Mumu!But I guess it didn't bother them.

Hmm I hadn't thought of Melinda as a long form for Minnie. My mom was telling me she likes the name Melinda.

The only Minnie I know IRL is named Melinda. Sisters Michelle and Melinda - Shelly and MinnieThey are probably in their late 20s now.

I assume you know that Minnie started out as a nickname for Wilhelmina and you want something different from that. Maybe Minneapolis. You know, a place name. No? lol How about Minerva?

I saw that Minerva was supposed to be Minnie Mouse's actual first name. Do you think Minerva is too much of an old lady name?

No, I don't. Although it was most popular 1880 - 1900, it was never extemely popular even then, so it's not as tied to one or two generations as a name that was really popular would be. And some names that were popular then are coming back, anyway.

Plus, the Harry Potter reference makes it somewhat chic.
