I have posted twice on the baby names now, one with my first list of girls names, then with a short list. It was for a sister for my DD Lily. From my list I like Ava, but now have just added Violet back on to my short list!! For some reason that name just keeps popping into my head, even though I am unsure about having 2 flower names, I don't want my siblings names to sound tacky. My DD is Lily with the middle name Grace (not double barrell). Please choose your favourite name (I want May as the middle name for both as that was my Grandmas middle name).

Ava May
Violet May

Which do you think sounds the nicest as a sister for Lily?

Ava May is lovely. Violet is pretty but I don't like Vi at all and so many Violets get it as a nn.

Good idea I will wait until the baby arrives to decide, she may look like one more than the other. Or may be a boy!!!!

Thanks for your helps ladies xx

Violet. With Lettie as a nickname if required.

Violet is going to rocket up the baby names list next year...the 3 people I know who have had baby girls in the last 3 months have all chosen it! I think it's like Oscar for boys, a name people looked to as it sounded a bit more unusual, only to find that the idea spread like wildfire!

Ava is incredibly popular around here too, but less so with babies, more primary school age girls.

I think Violet is a lovely name, and goes very well with Lily. More so than Ava...Lily and Ava just don't flow together as well imo

Ava all the way. Don't like lily and violet together, bit pastel/floral.

I love Violet...a little bunch of gorgeous flowers
But then, I am a sentimental fool
