Sounds like a brand of toothpaste

Don't like it

scornrufibarbis · 26/02/2022 19:55

Absolutely love it. I watched and read moondial as a child. The main character was called Minty (Araminta) and I always thought it was a such a cool name.

I really wanted to call DD it but DH said no but I still love it

I really strongly dislike it. Ara- just isn't a nice sound to me, -mint- is even worse and as a whole it's an unpleasant mixture of clunky and too fussy.

Love it.

I absolutely love it.

Someone I know with that name. No one calls her it - she signs off minty and that's what people call her

Not keen I'm afraid. How about Ariadne, Arabella, Arwen, Aria, Ariana, Ariel for the Ar- start?

Minty Moondial!

It's a little too fussy for me personally but objectively speaking, it's a pretty name!
