Araminta is the name of Jimmy Choo owner Tamara Mellon. Her nn is Minty. Nmsaa and I wouldn't want to be known as Minty Mellon

I really like Araminta but it's a little too frilly also. I prefer Aminta. I don't care for Minty as a nn at all, though, esp. with a ln like Mellon! Minta would be ok, or even Minnie. :)

I think Araminta's a fabulous name. I also like Aramynta, Aminta, and Amynta. I think Minta / Minty is a cute nn.

I like Araminta a lot. Very old, very underused (almost to the point of being unused). I'm on the fence about Minty, but really, it's not that bad at all.

Me either, but I love Araminta! NN Minta maybe or Aminta.
My friend considered Aminta for her baby.

Just curious...

What did Kelly decide to name her baby?

You remember her?
So far it's Abella Mira, Abella Muriel, or Abella Nessa.
She and her husband just got in from adopting a little boy in Russia yesterday. His name is Alexander "Sasha". He's so cute! Speaks no English though.

Yep, I remember her.

Mostly because a few people gave her a hard time about Abella, but I also remember that I liked her names. Mira, Muriel, and Nessa are all great mns.

That's great about their adoption, too. Wish them luck from me. ^_^

Sorry to butt in but i adore Sasha on a boy, its such a gorgeous name. I would really love to adopt a boy from Russia, i have heard awfull things about how orphans are kept in Russia!

My aunt and uncle adopted 3 little sisters from Russia about 7 years ago, they said the orphanages are horrible and they just felt so bad, they only wanted one, but they couldn't split them up, so they got them all!

Auntie to: Robert, Brady, Juliana & Sophia.
Auntie again soon! Sister-in-law is... Lilypie Baby Ticker

Kelly could tell you more. The first boy they tried to adopt died from something. I'm not sure if it was related to how they were kept or just poor health, but it was shocking to hear.
I'm sure a Russian child(ren) would be happy for you to adopt him/her/them too. :)

It sounds stupid to me. Like someone was trying to hard to be creative.
