We have decided on Violet, what do you think of Amity as a middle name? Sister to Rose Honor.

I don't think the 2 go well together. Saying them out loud, they don't seem to 'flow'. imo.

I wonder if it's the T and A, or the T and T , but it's just violetamity viole tamity

erm iyswim Grin

also agree that the two names don't sound right together I'm afraid. How about:

Violet Celeste
Violet Maude
Violet Niamh
Violet Maeve
Violet May
Violet Pearl

Amity? Makes me think of Jaws (set on Amity Island) and Amityville Horror. So, sharks and gore... Sorry!

They do end up becoming one word. Seems to be too many Ts. What does your surname begin with? Please don't say G :)

Begins with S :)

My other idea was Violet Evelyn.

I discovered Amity on Nameberry today. It means friendship which I like.

Have you considered two middle names? Something like Violet Lucy Amity S_ flows better, imo. Violet Amity ends up as 'Viole Tamity' when I say it.

Violet Amity isn't good. Especially next to Rose Honor, which is lovely.

I know it means friendship but also just reminds me of the amityville horror

I'm starting to think maybe everyone here can't be wrong! Wink I either have strange name taste or I am just running out of ideas.

Violet's good though isn't it???

If you like the meaning "friendship" you could use:

Lieve (Dutch, means dear friend)
Alden/ Elden (from old english meaning old friend)
Cara/ Careen (beloved)Ruth (friendship)
Anisa (Arabic meaning friendly)
