Help[Opinions] Minnie the Minx
Minnie the Minx is a comic book character from a comic called The Beano. The Beano is written in Dundee, Scotland.
I found out today that Minnie’s full given name is Hermione Makepeace. WDYT of Minnie as a nickname for Hermione? What nickname would you use?
For me it doesn’t seem like an intuitive nickname unless her mother was also called Hermione and it started as mini Hermione.

I think it works fine. I would use 'Mione, or maybe Herm, though.

Hermione is delightfully posh for such a wild child! No wonder Minnie needed a nickname, but I don't know if Minnie is meant as a nn for Hermione, which seems unlikely, or just an expansion of 'minx'. And with all those brothers, she'd need an M name, surely?

I think it's a stretch. Minnie is fine on its own.
