Vermina vs. okay vs. no way

We told our 6-year-old, Violet, that she could help pick out a name for her baby sister. She picked her favorite computer game character, the pirate rat Vermina. Yeah, like Vermin-ah. Anyway, it’s kinda growing on us. It’s cute, sounds a little like Minerva (which we were considering in honor of my husband’s aunt)...but is it crazy?
Which baby name is best?
 Vermina
 Okay
 No Way

Genie's Mailbag

Carina in Canada
Dear Genie, I need you to help me find a Greek name for a girl. I've already used Theodore and Sebastian for her siblings. But every other Greek girl's name I see is either too pretentious, hard to pronounce, or just too popular now. The only name I can picture using is Caroline, but it's not Greek!
Baby Name Genie:
The Greeks would name her Charissa Zoe. Then, they would stuff her in a wooden horse and give her to the Trojans. So, my advice would be to borrow the name but not the rest of their tactics.
