I'm really liking Minerve today, but I've never seen it used IRL, only in a book.

What's your impression of it?
Do you think it's usable?
What names would you pair it with?

nope, nope, nope! Sounds exactly like a mumbled, "My nerve"! lol I'd say Minerva is better, but not by much...maybe for a cat, though.

Tbh, it sounds like my sister saying "heids, yer getting on ma nerve!"

I really like Minerva, and usually I like girls names that end in -e when normally they end in -a (like Pauline v. Paulina, etc).

In this case, nothing is added by removing the a.

Although it's been growing on me lately, Minerva does remind me of 'nervous'...whereas Minerve reminds me more of 'verve' and 'nerve' (meaning courage), so the lack of an A could add something, depending on how it's read.

It looks like my nerve. I much prefer Minerva.

I assume this is somebody's attempt to Frenchify Minerva.

Well, putting French dressing on a rotten tomato doesn't make the tomato any less rotten.
