My best friends dd is violet and an old school friend has an Ivy. I adore both names. Sorry I can't help decide! Maybe wait till they arrive and see which feels right.

My baby girl is a Violet so mines a biased vote. Pic for cuteness 😊

Violet- with Ivy as nn. I love the older, vintage names coming back, but ask yourself, would you want to be called Ivy? I personally wouldn't- same as the name Olive (cut as it is on a little girl) as to they're just not pretty or feminine, while Violet is.

Violet is my favourite.

Statistically Ivy is more popular if that's any help

Love both but would go Violet. Ivy makes me think of Ivy in Shakespeare that sucks the verdure out... But that is very random! They're both lovely names.

Definitely Violet.

Ivy looks horrible written down.

Ivy is an ugly plant imo.

IV means intravenous.

The Ivy is a sleb hang-out restaurant.

And it just makes me thing of Ivy from Coronation Street!
