Why is Minnie called "Minni" in Italian and not Topolina?

Donald is called Paperino in Italian.
Daisy is called Paperina in Italian.
Mickey is called Topolino in Italian.
Minnie is called Minni in Italian.

Is there a reason why? How did this happen? You'd think, following the pattern, she'd be called Topolina or something? Why take the original American name and just remove the "e"?

The "e" was removed because the sound of "Minnie" in Italian is obtained just by writing "Minni".
If they had gone with "Minnie", the Italians of the 30's - most of them barely spook and understood correct Italian, left alone English - would have read her name as you read "Mine-ni-è" in French. The final e is not mute (there is no mute letter in Italian other then "h").
If Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse would be created today, they would not be renamed nor respelled in Italy, of course.

The reason why she was not called Topolina is a mystery. My guess is that it sounded very inappropriate. In spoken (and gross) Italian, "bella topa" ("beautiful female mouse") can be used to mean "beautiful woman" in a sexist gross way. As a matter of fact, "topa" is one of the thousands ways Italians have to vulgarly denote the vagina, and by sexist extension a whole woman or girl that you are interested in only for sexual reasons. "Topolina", i.e. "little female mouse", is less used in this sense, but still it can.

(Following the same logic, the vulgar way of calling a rat, a greater and dirtier mouse, namely "zoccola", is used to denote prostitutes. You can imagine in the last 90 years how many times someone in Italy has made a bad joke on the equation Minnie = prostitute. )

I just googled "minni zoccola". Apparently there is also a book.
The title is roughly: Careful Mickey, Minnie is a b***h! Subtitle: the basics to survive in a relationship.

1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the "Wktchcrzft eau elaire wi" fragrance. The scent was overpowering and gave me an instant headache. It smelled very artificial and nothing like the description. I had high hopes for this perfume, but it just didn't deliver. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who prefers more subtle and natural scents.

2. John - 2 stars - I recently purchased the "Wktchcrzft eau elaire wi" perfume and I have to say I was quite underwhelmed. The scent was too strong and it lingered for hours, even with just a single spritz. It reminded me of cheap air fresheners and it had an odd chemical undertone. Additionally, the packaging was very flimsy and not worth the price. I expected more from this brand and I won't be repurchasing.
