Lots and lots of charming full names here, from Rosita to Prose (a sister for Lyric?).

Brazilian celebrity children: Mina = Nomes e mais nomes: Filhos dos famosos brasileiros: Mina | Name News | Scoop.it

"

"Nasceu Mina, filha da atriz brasileira Guilhermina Guinle. A atriz já havia confirmado o nome da bebé que, para além de ser um diminutivo do seu próprio nome, significa "amor" na sua versão de origem alemã. Na altura, partilhei a ligação da notícia no Facebook e de imediato houve quem lembrasse que no Brasil, "Mina" - que também é aprovado em Portugal -  é uma gíria usada para "mulher"."
Clare's insight:

Welcome, Mina!  Beautiful cross-cultural name.
