I already told you this in another thread, but I prefer Mina.  Then Meena.  Not so crazy about Mena.

You actually prompted this, as I had never seen it spelled that way, thanks!

thanks.  It's our EU anchor baby.  (I have to stop.  I've used that joke like 20 times today.  But I find it hysterical!)

I feel so important now. 

Mina was originally a nickname for Wilhelmina.  That's a mouthful, though.

Mina.

I think of Mena as May-na.

I love the name Mina and would spell it with an "i" ?second choose would be Mena.

I don't like the spelling Meena at all.?

Delurking to say - I'm reading Dracula right now, and one of the main characters is Mina Harker - short for Wilhelmina. I like Mina - it's very pretty.

I know of a girl who is named for her grandmother...

Minna... pronounced MIN-ah

Ditto. 

Also, Meena looks a little too "hookt awn fonix" for me.  Mina is super cute, esp. as a nn for something like Wilhelmina.

I know someone named Minna.

berryblndgirl

I like Mina.

j*&p*

I like Mina the best.

I like Mina best.  My DD's full name is Catherine Wilhelmina...Wilhelmina is after a great grandparent & she went by Mina....but my DD goes by Winnie which is a combo of 2 Wilhelmina nicknames...Minnie & Willa.  We're weird that way--LOL!

Actually Meena is the traditional Indian spelling, and since you know, my DH is from there I'm open to it.
