I recently posted a topic about unique suggestions. Basically I’m having trouble really connecting to a name, and loving it. I like some names, but there is always something wrong with them.
For example, I like [name]Tess[/name] and [name]Claire[/name], but they both sound a bit too much like mean girls from a childrens show.
I also like [name]Sophie[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name], but they are just soooo popular!
So far the closest I’ve gotten is [name]Araminta[/name]. [name]Evelyn[/name] is also growing on me, but its growing in popularity too.
So, Berries, I am enlisting you to help me find the perfect name!

PS I sort of have a thing for vintage, English names. But then again, I’m open to anything.
PPS I know it must seem like I need a new name every week, and I know it’s a little (ok very) annoying, and I probably should just shut up. But maybe you’ll take pity on me…
I agree [name]Sophie[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name] are too popular… will eventually be dated…
[name]Araminta[/name] is lovely!! I love the possible nn’s [name]Minty[/name], [name]Minnie[/name], [name]Ara[/name] too.
[name]Tess[/name]/[name]Tessa[/name] is a very sweet name. I personally dont see a mean girl image with this name. I would use the full name [name]Theresa[/name] with them.
Thanks, Jenevievem! I suppose the names might get tired, but I don’t know if two classics like those could become dated. Sort of like [name]Sarah[/name] and [name]Elizabeth[/name], you know? I understand your point though. [name]Destiny[/name], [name]Madisyn[/name] and [name]Taylor[/name], for example are names that really will get dated!
If I did use [name]Araminta[/name], I think I would use the nickname [name]Ara[/name], or maybe even [name]Minty[/name]…
I definitely agree [name]Sophie[/name] and [name]Isabel[/name] are classic names. Some classic names seem to get dated too …eg [name]Barbara[/name], [name]Linda[/name], [name]Donna[/name], [name]Jennifer[/name], [name]Jessica[/name], [name]Kimberly[/name]. hopefully you are right and [name]Sophie[/name] & [name]Isabel[/name] are more along the lines of [name]Laura[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Emily[/name], etc.
I love [name]Araminta[/name]!! [name]Ara[/name] and [name]Minty[/name] are adorable nn’s (:
do you like [name]Imogen[/name] at all? when you indicated English vintage this name came to my mind…
other names that for me have a English vintage feel:
Actually, I have considered [name]Imogen[/name]. It just looks and sounds a little odd to me. I really wish I liked it because it seems perfect, but I just don’t.
I think right now [name]Araminta[/name] is in the top spot, but I really need some new ideas!
I really like [name]Gwendolyn[/name]! The only thing is I don’t like either the nickname [name]Gwen[/name] or the nickname [name]Lyn[/name]. I think [name]Evelyn[/name] may be another strong choice. But do [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Araminta[/name] go together?

Thank you so much for your great responses! Unfortunately I don’t have the time to look over the names thoroughly (I skimmed them) but I will as soon as I get the chance!
I love [name]Imogen[/name]!! What about it soudns odd to you? It’s pronounced IM-uh-jun. Such a pretty name but quite popular in the UK so I wouldn’t personally use it. Might make it perfect for you though!
Have you also considered [name]Amarantha[/name]? I love this as an alternative to [name]Araminta[/name]. I also like [name]Arabella[/name].
[name]Love[/name] the suggestion of [name]Jemima[/name] too
[name]Araminta[/name]? Really? It sounds like a grasshopper-type dessert. I like [name]Arabella[/name] much, much more, as was suggested by a previous poster.
What about [name]Beatrix[/name]? I really like this one too!
