I used to work with a Puerto Rican chain-smoking overweight gossipper (sp?) named
Minerva, so unfortunately I don't have a great association with that name. LOL. It also seems somewhat 'exotic' to me, whereas
Winifred seems very British (i.e. - not exotic, lol). Another problem with the pair would be the possibility of their becoming
Winnie and
Minnie, whether you intended it or not. *blech*
I do love
Winifred, though.
