it was aveline in bread but dont like either. Cassandra same as op's have said. Violet is probs the nicest and ivy reminds me of the woman in coronation street. What others were you thinking?

COCKadoodledooo · 05/02/2011 00:03

The character in Bread was Aveline

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/02/2011 23:43

Love Cassandra.

I like Ivy. It's a grower (no pun intended). I know of two and at first was a bit Hmm but now really like it. Also like Genevieve - not a fan of Jenna either but Jenny/ie and Vivi are both nice nns I think.

Violet reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

Love violet

BelligerentGhoul · 04/02/2011 23:12

I like Violet best and then Cassandra. Dislike Adeline.

onimolap · 04/02/2011 23:05

Violet - lovely
Adeline - no (Bread character)
Ivy - dull
Cassandra - lovely (but unfortunate classical associations).

Adeline was an awful 1980s tv character.

Violet is nice. I like ivy but some see it as a cold name (poison I guess)

I have a Cassandra in my family- she hates it - calls herself cassie and still hates it.

I love Violet and Ivy.

and wasn't Adeline a character in another programme? Something from Liverpool, think it was called Bread.

muminthemiddle · 04/02/2011 22:51

I like Cassandra and Adeline best.

COCKadoodledooo · 04/02/2011 22:50

Love Violet!

Cassandra reminds me of Only Fools and Horses, sorry Blush

MelinaM · 04/02/2011 22:49

Love Violet, don't like Ivy, Adeline or Cassandra ...this one reminds me of Only Fools and Horses! ...sorrySmile

How about Adrienne or Cassie as alternatives? x

msrisotto · 04/02/2011 22:47

I love Violet. Not a massive fan of any of the others.

LoopyLoopsPoopaScoop · 04/02/2011 22:46

I quite like Adeline, and Violet is OK. Not keen on the other two, especially Cassandra.
