I already liked the name quite a bit but understanding it from that perspective makes me appreciate it more :)

No problem! :) Here is some statistical info for further clarification
Popularity statistics in the Netherlands for:
• Mint: https://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/Mint (in Dutch)
• Minte: https://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/Minte (in Dutch)
• Minthe: https://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/Minthe (in Dutch)
As you can see, little baby Mint fits right in here! :)
I did some research and discovered that she was born in the Netherlands. Earlier this year, her parents officially moved back to the Netherlands, after having spent a hectic couple of years in New York City. It looks like Mint is going to grow up in the Netherlands or at least spend the majority of her formative years here, so I foresee her encountering few to no problems with her name.

Same! It isn't in the database, though. "Mint" is user-submitted as a rare English name, but not as a Dutch name.
I wonder what use it could have in Japan, though. This might be a coincidence, but I've seen two major female characters with the name Mint;
Tokyo Mew Mew - Mew Mint
Mahou no Tenshi Sweet Mint - Mint, the title character
Often stylised as Minto, though

I think in the case of the Japanese it has to do with the cuteness factor of having an 'exotic' food name; same with Pudding/Purin which I think has been given to real children in Japan, although very rarely and considered too tacky by most.

Ah I see well to be fair, we have similar trends. Though I didn't know Pudding/Purin was actually really used as a name wow, thank you :)
