Love Violet - but not Vi. Help me think of a nice shortening or nickname please

[Olderbutnotwiser]

Currently pregnant with DC6. DH and I have very different taste and I was shocked when he suggested Violet as I love it but did not expect him to. So far its the only name we have agreed on ( lets hope the baby is a girl ) but we both dislike Vi and would like to insist on the full name or a nickname of our choosing. For example DD2 is Keziah , sometimes called Kizzy, but never Kez.

Lottie? I do like Violet in full though.

My mil is Violet and hates Vi but my sil insists on calling her it.

How about Lettie?

[pinkpurplefluff]

Yes def Lottie. Violet is quite lovely I(although unexpectedly so). Good luck

[LuLuBai]

Wow - congrats on finding a name you both love for DC6!

I'm only pg with DC2 and we're struggling to agree on names....

First thought was Lettie but I reckon you could also get away with Lola.

Vio, Vee or Lettie are all nice. Though Violet is not especially long, so quite easy to not have a nn at all.

My mum was Violet and, despite it not being her choice, gave in to Vi. We just called her Violent.

That's a joke. Wish we'd given it to my youngest now (as a middle name)

Lettie or Viola

Vita is a great nickname I think
