The first thing that popped into my head was Violent Bee...

Sorry.

I think of these.

It's sweet, very sweet indeed. Rather too cutesy for my taste though. But, middle names are hardly ever used so there's little harm in it.

I'd go for Bea as the middle name. Or even better Beatrice.

Violet Bee may be misread as Violent Bee.

Sounds a bit like a paint colour. Not liking it.
I like Violet, Bee however I just can't warm to.

If I'm completely honest, I think it sounds absolutely adorable for a baby, less so for an adult.

I really love it, it's a great pairing!

Hmmmm, I just don't warm to it.

Love Violet.... just not sure of Bee? It's just a bit 'nothingy'

Sounds like a gift set of miniature artisan organic honey that you'd buy off Etsy.

Way too twee.

Violet Beatrice is nice.

It's cute, I like it. But I'd spell it Bea.

To be completely honest, I'm not a fan at all. Although I agree bea would be better but I still don't like it personally. Love the name violet, not a fan of bee at all. It's what you like that counts though, everyone has different taste Smile

I'd spell it Bea, or go with Violet Beatrix or Violet Beatrice

Super cute! I would spell it Bea though. Or got for Violet Beatrice/Beatrix

Colour with noun, often not a great idea.

Of course it will work when she's 20.

It's absolutely fine, it's only a middle name!

Violet Bee - Violently.

Love Violet. Not sure about Bee.

MrsCaecilius · 12/11/2015 12:26

Bea, not Bee. Beatrice or Beatrix even better. 'Bee' on its own is too twee for me.

FlapSnaps · 12/11/2015 12:29

What about Violet Cranefly or Violet Drosophila? Grin

I think violet is nice, not my top choice but that's what makes like interesting. To be a Bee is an insect, a lovely and important insect but still... As others have said maybe Beatrice? Or something else beginning with B so you can still nickname her Violet B if you want?

FattyNinjaOwl · 12/11/2015 12:39

My DD has the nn bumble bee. Because her name begins with a B. I wouldn't use bee as an actual name though. As others have said maybe Beatrice/Beatrix

I think you can go as daft as you like with a middle name.

Violet Bethany?

Bee? As in a bee?

I don't like it, sorry, nor particularly keen on Violet but at least that's a name.
