Mina Shimmin.

Following my father's death I found that at the time of marrying my mother he was listed as a widower.
All I know of his first marriage is her name,"Mina", they married about 1920, and lived in the Liverpool/Bootle area.
I was sure he married in Scotland , but that has drawn a blank. No records.
Is "Mina" a common name, if shortened, to the Island?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Colin.
