509.0. "Minden" by RIPPLE::TOOZE_MI () Thu Mar 15 1990 20:46

    I was born in 1958 and was given an unusual name:  Minden Pearl.
    The "Pearl" is after my father's sister.  The "Minden" was a name
    my mother overheard another mother calling her daughter.  I enjoy
    my name very much (my nicknames were "Mindi" or "Min"), but I have
    yet to see it or hear it anywhere, except twice:  once, a Belgian
    man I met on a plane told me it is German, and the second time,
    someone passed on to me a bit of trivia:  the ship Francis Scott
    Key was held captive on when he wrote the "Star Spangled Banner,"
    was a German ship called the "Minden."
    
    Does anyone know what this name means?  You can imagine I've been
    curious.
