Thoughts on this name?

Someone I follow on Instagram called their little girl [name_f]Minty[/name_f]
There is something I love about this name but would be interested to here what other people think of it since it’s a little out there?

As a nickname, sure. One of my ancestors was named [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] and was called [name_f]Minty[/name_f].

On one hand, I think it could be cute sometimes. However, there’s the whole “minty fresh”/toothpaste/mouth wash/etc stuff. It’s not exactly super cute once you think on that more than a second.

As a nickname, its very cute. But I think that it is too cute as a full name. [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] is immediately where my mind went, too.

I think it’s a cute nickname, but I agree, I wouldn’t use it as a standalone FN. I just wouldn’t particularly like to be called [name_f]Minty[/name_f] myself either. [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Minty[/name_f] is cute, but any [name_u]Min[/name_u] name could work really.

I’d only use it as a nickname personally. It seems like it would take a certain type of girl to wear [name_f]Minty[/name_f].

Possible longer names:

[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_f]Minette[/name_f]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Minta[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f]

Definitely like it as a nn. Super cute:)

thanks everyone :slight_smile:
