Ok, people are being way too weird about this name. I think it’s adorable. Araminta was Harriet Tubman’s real name, but everyone called her Minty. I think it's a great name and I don't think people should be so rude about it.
As an English given name, Minty can also be derived from the English word "Minty", which is an adjective referring to the flavor of Mint; or as a diminutive of the unisex given name Aminta. And, Minty is also used as a masculine given name in English. A known fictional male bearer of this name is Rick "Minty" Peterson, a character from the BBC soap opera EastEnders. However, Minty is more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine"; and the "Meaning & History" section of this name should be updated to read, "Diminutive of Araminta (feminine) or Aminta (unisex). It can also derive from the English word mint for the mentha plant."Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minty_Peterson https://forebears.io/x/forenames/minty https://www.gpeters.com/names/baby-names.php?name=Minty
Minty is a 1998 Australian / British comedy television series, in which Australian actress Angela Kelly appeared in the dual roles of Minty and Melanie (an Australian girl and an English girl who are identical in appearance). When British schoolgirl Melanie Hobson wins a trip to Australia in a competition, she is amazed to discover, on arrival at the airport, that she has a double, Minty Sullivan, an Australian soap opera star.

Oooh, it smells so minty fresh! HahahahahahahhahaahahaSeriously, who would use this as a legit name?
Tubman’s real name was Araminta Ross. Minty was a nickname. She changed her name to Harriet Tubman upon arriving in Philadelphia after escaping slavery.
