Araminta definitely doesn't give off a slave-name vibe to me. It sounds like mouthwash, first and foremost. If I try to picture a human named Araminta, I picture some irritatingly "spunky" Victorian kid pulling less "spunky" girls' hair and then acting all innocent and who-me? when caught.I think, therefore I judge.

Harriet Tubman was named Araminta - so I guess that association is ingrained in my memory. Your description is humorous though. I have a totally different picture, except when the nickname Minty is used. Then I picture Nellie Oleson (Little House on the Prairie) for some reason. She could technically fit your character description if you swap out victorian garb with upper-class prairie-girl frocks.
