Partly depends on your surname. You don't want initials VOM!

Definitely Violet Olivia - Olivia is way too common as a first name.

I would have said Olivia, but seeing as it was number 1 in 2016 I would avoid - I don't have a problem with popular names but think it's a shame when they have to be Olivia A, Olivia B etc.

Surname begins with an S, so is fine

Congratulations! Olivia Violet rolls off the tongue better, but how often will you say both names together? I much prefer Violet as a first name.

She'd be one of at least 5 Olivia's/Olivers/Olives in her class at school.

I like both though probably prefer Violet. Personally, I'd steer away from Violet Olivia - reminds me a bit much of Violet Elizabeth in the "Just William" books as it sounds similar - but I'm an old fogey and she won't use her mn much day to day!

Sounding like Violet Elizabeth wouldn't bother me at all!

Violet Elizabeth was actually her whole name though.
