What are your thoughts on ...

Araminta

for a baby girl? Yay or nay?

Very much dislike. Overly fussy and twee. Far nicer 'A' names out there.

Thanks all! Full disclosure: I do not like it but DH really does for some reason and I wanted to check whether I was missing something!

I think we'll avoid tbh, I think pp were right that it would get shortened to "Minty" and that just makes me think of that bloke from Eastenders.

It's terrible, I agree with Fennec- its like the female equivalent of Tarquin. I sometimes wonder if these name suggestions are a joke

@florianfortescue
I put it on our shortlist. I like it. Depends on how you view unusual names where DD will be the only one with the name.

Good to know it's not one you love... It really is the Pony Clubbiest of all Pony Club names and conjures up someone with rather more ponies than brain cells for me. Sorry.

It’s very pretty. But. It’s very try-hard

It is way too much. Too frilly, too precious, too minor public school/Pony Club/Jilly Cooper. It’s a posh caricature of a name.

Try hard . Trying hard to what??

I realise Araminta. Very pretty

Sorry Really like

Sorry it sounds like it should be a mouthwash. Really dislike it (you did ask).
