Love it! I can imagine a couple of princesses with these names (Beatrice is definitely the older sister).

---

I prefer the ornate Araminta over the understated Beatrice, but they are both great choices!

---

A sibling would be Theodore or Eleanor

They're alright. Sometimes I like them more than others. I like the etymology of Beatrice and wish Araminta had a meaning.

---

Do you prefer Beatrice or Beatrix?

I'm so glad someone is using Araminta! What a great name.

---

Ordinarily I wouldn't think they "go" together, yet, they do. Beatrice is much more.... relaxed than Araminta, but there is something literary about them as a duo.

---

So for siblings I might use something like Evangeline and Dorian.

Ooh Araminta is a personal guilty pleasure! I adore it but sadly I would feel ridiculous introducing a baby/daughter as Araminta. I also just think Minty is a freaking cute nn.

---

Beatrice is gorgeous and classic but recently I prefer Beatrix as it’s less used and I like its quirkiness, and I love nn Trixie.

---

I would name siblings Dorothea or Millicent, Monty/Montgague or Laurence.

I enjoy them a lot, but I do prefer Beatrix to both Beatrice and Araminta; Beatrix is gorgeous. For a sister, I’d go with the name Dorothy, and a brother would be Sebastian.

I love the set! Very brocaded and British.

---

I prefer Beatrice to Beatrix and Araminta.

Beatrice, Araminta, Prunella, and Ferdinand

Prefer Beatrice

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.
