Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom, medicine, commerce, handicrafts, poetry, the arts in general, and later, war. ... The scholarly consensus, however, is that Minerva was indigenous, passing to the Romans from the Etruscan goddess Menrva, and that her name derives from meminisse, meaning 'to remember

Frigg was a cool goddess too but you’d never give that name to a sweet innocent baby, right? (If you’re English-speaking anyway)

Seriously. Worst attempted deployment of “Karen” ever.

Many people know what Minerva is associated with. But the sound of the word, plus it’s outdated feel, means a lot of us don’t like it. The name Athena is better.

Sounds like you’re naming her after the birth control pill.

Yuck! That’s literally what black baby poop is called.

Cite?

They mean "meconium" which is the first stool of an infant or maybe "melena" which is stool containing digested blood usually from a bleed/ulcer in the stomach. Adults can have melena too, PP

Many people in this thread have no clue about the origin of Minerva.
