Our baby girl, who's due in December, needs a name :)

We love them both!

Love them both. (Not much help!) But out of the two I'd go for Madeleine Violet.

Violet by miles.

I'm sure I've answered this exact question already this week... or am having some serious deja vu!

Either way, Violet every time Smile.

I love both these names. Madeleine Violet edges it slightly.

KlingybunFistelvase - really? I thought the name would be slightly unusual... :( as in, the names together!

Let me check my "I'm on" list for you OP! It's entirely possible I'm just going a bit Confused.

Just a weird coincidence I reckon OP. I've never met a baby with either name myself, so don't think they're terribly common.

Both are lovely. You could narrow down the order by which name shortening do you prefer the most i.e. Violet - Vi/Vee/Lettie or Maddy/Mads.

Madeleine , I'm not keen on Violet .

Flowercat16 - I love Maddie. I'd definitely use that... I didn't think Violet would be shortened!
