Of all the old names making a comeback, I prefer Maud.

However out of your 3, Violet is my favourite.

Saying that, it might depend on your surname.....

One vote each so far....pretty divided, it's so difficult to decide. I like Ivy as I have a ds with a three letter name and thought they would compliment each other. Pearl is a recent like as I actually used to think it was awful...this was influenced by a local woman with they name...can I move past this?! Violet I love but its getting popular.....though I expect all three are getting popular!

A few 'that's an old ladies name.....' Before she was born but I've got an old ladies name so I don't care Grin

All very positive reactions now but that's because she is so gorgeous

Only what a pretty or unusual name it is, never negative Smile

Aaahhh that's nice! My dm doesn't like them as they remind her of old farts.....her words not mine! I don't have those associations though apart from one lady.
