Default Straddle minimum raise?

In NL, lets say a 1-3 game, if someone straddles for $6 is the minimum raise to $9 or $12? I know this has been discussed at some point in the past but I can't find the thread. My opinion is that it's $12 because the straddle is like a 3rd blind with an option and a raise has to double the blind.

I prefer $12, but I heard the place next door to you would do $9.

If it is to $12, then the minimum bets on flop, etc would be $6, correct?

I have never met someone that wanted to bet the min on the flop.

I would like to rule $6, but I think I would rule $3. Fortunately I don't think anyone is goofy enough to want to know what the min is in a straddled pot.
