While searching for names that Minnie could be short for I stumbled across Ambrosine and Cosmina. WDYT of them on their own and as a full name for Minnie? Also, would you automatically pronounce Ambrosine as AM-broh-zheen, am-BROH-zheen, am-bro-ZHEEN, or something else entirely?

I love both of those names! I pronounce Ambrosine as am-bro-ZHEEN. I think they both work well with the nn Minnie.

Minnie is a good nicknames for Cosmina (which is an okay name in my opinion), but not for Ambrosine.
Ambrosine is a very lovely name and I think that I might have the emphasis on the third syllable, but I'm not sure.

I'm not a fan of Cosmina.
Ambrosine is nice, I would pronounce it "am-BRO-seen".

Well, if you are looking for more names that Minnie is a nickname for I have one for you. It was the name of a great grandma. She went by Minnie, which was short for Elmena.

I don't mind Cosmina, but I am not cure how I feel about Ambrosine. I pronounce it more like Am-bro-zeen, all inflected the same.

Am-Bro-Zeen. Emphasis on the bro.

I don't really see how Minnie could be short for that, but I love the name.

I like Cosmina as well, and I wouldn't use Minnie as a nickname (maybe just Mina, if I had to).

I'm against nicknames in general, unless they have a story behind them (as opposed to just being a shorted version of one's name). I have a friend called Anastasia, and everyone but me calls her Ana. I just can't do it. Call it a quirk =D

I also wouldn't use these names unless I had a French/Italian last name. Ambrosine is especially "exotic". =D
