[Opinions] Re: Nameberry sibset: Beatrice and Araminta
in reply to a message by ari.
Beatrice is a family name: my grandmother's mn, my mother's only name, and at least one distant aunt. I used it for my daughter, and it has worked extremely well. She goes by Bea from choice, and my mother did the same. I would never consider Beatrix; I sometimes call my daughter Trisk.Araminta does less than nothing for me. I don't like the rhythm, and perhaps because the meaning is unknown (which means, it doesn't exist) it seems like a lot of frills and beads and glitter, concealing nothing at all.As siblings for Beatrice, I'd consider David, Graham, Peter, Ian; Lucy, Caroline, Margaret, Laura. They need to be vintage.
