Joke or not, Amarinthea and Euphrasia are lovely names that make a refreshing break from all the Graces, Ellies and Tillies these days .

Shaz10 · 04/06/2010 08:55

This may be a joke but will the name catch on?

marriednotdead · 03/06/2010 21:41

Jasper, you read my mind

swanandduck · 03/06/2010 21:31

This is definitely a joke. Probably hoping someone will come on and say 'Ooh lovely, was on my shortlist, but dh said no'.

libelulle · 03/06/2010 21:26

Surely this is a wind up?!!

IPredictADiet · 03/06/2010 19:00

4 Amarintheas

IPredictADiet · 03/06/2010 18:59

too common - there are Amarintheas in my DD's class alone.

How about Steve?

catinthehat2 · 03/06/2010 18:49

hahahahahhahahahahhaha.

What a crock

UnrequitedSkink · 03/06/2010 18:42

Wind 'em up and let 'em go...

I read it and thought someone had a terrible disease of this name and had meant to post under health.

CallMeMissTweedy · 03/06/2010 18:08

This is a 'pregnancy hormones' name. When you give birth the scales will fall from your eyes and you will realise how ridiculous it sounds.

Ronaldinhio · 03/06/2010 15:35

this is the nicest name i have ever heard

please call your daughter this

pixiestix · 03/06/2010 15:35

Cut out the beginning and end, and call her Thea. Lovely.

GiraffeYoga · 03/06/2010 12:34

I reckon this is SteveLada at his tricks again.....

bigbluebump · 03/06/2010 12:12

I like both names individually. You're not going to say/write both names together, as Euphrasia is the middle name, isn't it?

Lots of scope for nicknames too - Amy, Minty, Thea etc.

i think you should hyphenate it and insist that everyone call her by her complete name, at all times

5DollarShake · 03/06/2010 11:39

All I will say is that Araminta has a much more, um, relaxed feel about it.

Shaz10 · 03/06/2010 11:31

I thought this was about a disease!

You'll give her teachers heart failure. Honestly if I had a little girl with that trainload I'd cry.... And fitting it onto anything of fixed dimensions will be a challenge. And she'll forever have to spell it out so you'd better hope she's a good speller.

Plus sounds truly horrid in some languages.

So no.

Araminta, OTOH, is nice, even with Euphrasia.

lovebugs · 03/06/2010 09:55

i think you are on a wind up......

Bettymum · 03/06/2010 08:48

I also clicked on this thinking it was going to be about an interesting plant in the gardening topic.
I'm sure it would be a lovely plant .

funkychunkymunky · 03/06/2010 08:43

I think both names individually are quite pretty but together they are a bit of a mouthful. TBH when I saw your title I thought it was about some herbal remedy or something...
Also it depends what your surname is. if it's something like Smith or Jones it really wouldn't go...

alexisfaith · 03/06/2010 08:18

Yes, Araminta nn Minty is lovely
