Arraminta

[SuperManStoleMyPants]

I have always loved this name, it would be shortened to Minty. Thoughts?

Minty Arabella Samantha was the name of my luminous green My Little Pony in the 80s. Just can't shake that thought! Cute but not my cuppa.

I like it - it makes me think of the Gumdrop books if anyone remembers them (was Araminta another car? Or a person? I can't remember . . .).

Ultimate Sloane name. Her best friend will be called camilla (nickname "mills") and her nickname will be "mints". (Am a comp girl who somehow got in with the public school Sloaney set at university so know of what I speak!)

oh yes Mints and Milla, and their friend Cress...(Cressida)

Minty is Scouse slang for dirty...

Why the nasty posh bashing? Who wouldn't love to be a swishy Cressida nipping off to St Barts with Minty and Millie!!!!

Araminta is an elegant name with lots of nn posibilties - should you want. Works well for adults & children.

I'm not posh bashing! My posh friends are lovely but they are quite funny /fascinating if you are not of that world. The nickname ending in s thing was new to me.

Araminta is that type of name to many people. Best the op knows of its connotations so she can make an informed choice. My dd has a similarly posh name
