Exactly the same as above.

It looks like Violent Megan unfortunately.

I think people will probably take a second check if they genuinely thought her name was Violent, so they would get it right anyway Grin

It doesn't work.

Megan Violet sounds better.

Think they are both nice. Violet is very pretty, but also works should she be a CEO of a FTSE100 company/go off and rule the world when middle aged. 'Tis a pretty but not cutesy name!

Vi and Lettie are both quick nice nicknames that will "age" well with her growing up (not too baby-ish that she's mortified to be called it when a teen you'll just have to try harder to embarrass your DD ). Can't think of any other obvious nicknames that might annoy you.

Oh but don't think Megan flows well, so unless it's a name with meaning, I'd look for another name. If it is a name with meaning, keep it and just remember she'll hardly ever say her full name!

Very pretty.

Although Tyga-Lillii is also an option according to another thread :D

I agree with the others who say they don't go together very well.

Not fussed about flow. My names don't flow. No one even thinks. Thanks though.

I suppose I was just looking for opinions on Violet and Megan.

I'm not to fussed on Violet. I love Megan its very pretty and girly. Yet equally strong and sophisticated.
I think Megan Violet is nicer than Violet Megan

I like both names but I agree with Snap8.

Violet is gorgeous and a classic, I'm always surprised it's quite rare. And Vi is a lovely shortening.

I admit I struggle with Megan though. Tb fair I think I'd struggle with any second name as I immediately think Pink Emily and Orange Mabel. I may need more gin.

Megan Violet is much better imo. Violet Megan doesn't look or sound right to me.

DramaAlpaca · 30/03/2017 23:16

It's fine.

I love Violet, I'm not so keen on Megan, but it's perfectly fine as a middle name.

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 30/03/2017 23:47

Megan's the middle name, yes? Everyone will call her Violet day to day? If so, lovely choice of name.

Violet is beautiful, graceful, sweet. Megan- sorry sounds a bit cheerleader, just does not go and cheapens the beauty of Violet.

Report
ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 09:53

Not a fan of Violet. It's very "violent" and quite brash, imo.

I like Viola :) Viola Megan is pretty imo.

Or maybe Scarlet? Juliet, Margaret. (if you don't care about the flow maybe two ms wouldn't bother you either? Idk)

I much prefer Megan Violet - not really keen on Violet for a first name.

Viola is an instrument and completely different name to Violet.

Scarlet Juliet and Margaret are also utterly plain and bit tacky, as is Megan, sorry- but as a Violet name lover (which I assume the OP is) these are the last names she'd then choose instead.

Violet all the way!

ClaryBeanHorshAndMe · 31/03/2017 10:04

meet I know. :) I love the instrument (playing it and the sound in general)

Maybe they're tacky in the OP's opinion, I simply suggested other names ending in 'et'.


Violet is just very violent imo.... Viole(n)t Megan... :/
