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.

Reviews for "Effortless Cleanliness: Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services"

1. Jenny - 1/5 stars - I hired Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services to clean my house, and I was thoroughly disappointed with the results. The cleaners arrived late and seemed unprofessional from the start. They rushed through the job without paying attention to detail. I found spots of dirt and dust left behind on surfaces and missed areas that were supposed to be cleaned. The worst part was the lack of communication and customer service. I tried contacting the company multiple times to express my concerns and request a re-cleaning, but no one ever answered the phone or returned my calls. I would not recommend Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services to anyone in need of reliable and thorough house cleaning.

2. Mark - 2/5 stars - Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services fell short of my expectations. While they were able to complete the cleaning job, the quality of their work was subpar. I noticed streaks and smudges on my windows after they were supposedly cleaned, and there were areas on my floors that were still dirty. The services were also quite expensive compared to other cleaning companies in the area. Although the cleaners were polite and punctual, I feel like I did not get my money's worth. I was hoping for a more thorough and detailed cleaning, and unfortunately, that was not delivered.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was not impressed with the service provided by Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services. From the moment the cleaners arrived, I felt like they were rushing through the job. They paid little attention to detail and left many areas untouched. It was clear that they were only interested in completing the job quickly rather than ensuring a high-quality clean. Additionally, their customer service was lacking. I tried reaching out to discuss my concerns, but my calls were never returned. Overall, I would not recommend Midwedt Magic Cleaning Services if you're looking for a thorough and reliable cleaning company.
