Hi Mary, My first thought was Millicent, but now I don't think so as that would be Milly not Minnie. Sue

ENOCH m Biblical Pronounced: EE-nawk From the Hebrew name Chanok which meant "dedicated". In Genesis in the Old Testament this was the name of both the son of Cain and the father of Methuselah, and the supposed author of the apocryphal Books of Enoch. from www.behindthename(.)com Anna

Is that a correct name then ? I always thought Enoch was a nickname or shortened version of something else, hence my problems finding the chappie. Mary
