cousin's grandchild

[pranma]

Recently our family was joined by Imogen Rose[a very pretty name I think] however there is another little girl recently born.....Araminta Jane[nn Minty].
What do you think of that folks?

both lovely names

Both lovely names. Personally I prefer Araminta to imogen as it is more feminine, and has a nice shortening, but both are great names. Why do you ask?

I was just curious as I hadnt heard Araminta before and I rather like it.My cousin is granny to both babies and reaaly doesnt like either name so I offered to seek opinions on here.Imogen is now 6 months old and Araminta is newborn.My cousin is mum to Imogen's mum and araminta's dad :)

Two very nice names with cute nicknames - hope your cousin hasn't been crass enough to let the parents know she does not like the names! 'Oh how lovely' is always the only mannerly response :)

I love Araminta.

I love the name Araminta and the NN Minty. Imogen is lovely too.

I don't understand the question, op .

You've had two new relations, one named Imogen and the other Araminta. So what? Are you interested in how WE find the names? Does it really matter?

(personally I love Aramaminta but find Imogen really harsh and unfeminine - but that is MY tastes - what matters is that the girls' parents love their choices!!)

[mopsyflopsy]

sorry, Araminta (not Aramaminta )

[bigbluebump]

Both fine names imo - I personally prefer Araminta, but agree that the main thing is that the parents love the names they chose.

[pilates]

Both lovely names IMO

Particularly like the nn Minty.

I don't really like commenting on babies' names that are already born, but if you insist on our opinions, then I'm not keen on Imogen but quite like Araminta.
