Sorry to be so blunt in the title.
Araminta is my new love. I just think it is really pretty and not over popular or silly.
My worry is that it is too posh.
What do you think and what are your opinions of the name? Help!

if you are related to Dukes and Duchesses, I would say go for it.

Otherwise pretentious imo, even thoygh it is a very pretty name in itself.

I would personally loathe the shortening Minty, so that would put me off completely.

I like it as long as you have the background to back it up IYSWIM.

It is extremely posh.
Use it if you can handle it being shortened to Minty.

I think it is lovely. Am just considering whether it goes with DD (Hermione)?!!

Is it pronounced as spelt? Will have to look up where it comes from now...thanks!!

It is quite posh. OK if you can carry it off.

It is super posh, but I love it!

My DH would never have let me go for it though, he has a serious inbuilt ponceometer

A bit too posh for me I'm afraid.

Also reminds me of a toothpaste/mouthwash as well.
