Is Araminta too posh?

Sorry to those to those who don't like the posh/chav threads, but I really need to know honestly.
Araminta has been tentatively on my list for a while now, surely in this day and age it is safe for non upper class people to use?
would appreciate your thoughts.

Wow, a very different name (well I personally don't know any but there is a "Minty" charcater in a book I have read. )Sorry can't remember which one, but the character was very posh-could have been a Louise Bagshaw novel.

It is very posh. (I'm common.) She would get beaten up if you live in Wales, Carlottawales

LOL though at the 'is it safe for non upper class people to use'. I had visions of toffs attacking you in full hunting gear for stealing one of theirs!

My DH has never heard of the name Araminta. He thought you were naming your child after Alan Minter (a boxer from the 1970s).

awful name imo

I like it. The only one we know though is called Minty and we see her riding at pony shows.

It was the name my Granny gave to the "ghost" or whatever used to open cupboard doors in the kitchen. If you have reservations, don't do it.

Yes. Not only posh, also horrid.
