Love them all (not helpful) but all gorgeous

Dillydollydaydream · 06/01/2013 15:25

I would personally choose pearl but that's because I'm due in June and its the birthstone :)
My next favourite is ivy then violet.

Violet...my neighbours two year is called this. Slightly bored of all the flower names though, not very original anymore.

Where do you live? My friend was set on Ivy until she realised the local pronunciation would have an A on the end! I adore Pearl. And Elsie.

ZZZenAgain · 04/01/2013 15:29

of those prefer Violet

Clarano5 · 04/01/2013 15:28

Ivy, violet second, don't like pearl

All lovely. I think Pearl and Violet are my favourite. I know a couple of Violets and only 1 Pearl, who is now grown up.

Ooh, lovely names, too hard to choose! Ivy at a push.

Ivy

MonaLotte · 01/01/2013 23:10

Ivy is my fav.

3smellysocks · 01/01/2013 23:10

Adore Pearl and Violette. Pearl probably a little bit more.

DrRanj · 01/01/2013 23:08

I love violet. It was my second choice for dd1. I will probably use it if I ever have a dd2!

Nivet · 01/01/2013 23:06

I love them all but would rank them 1.Ivy, 2.Pearl, 3.Violet.

Rhubarbgarden · 01/01/2013 19:38

I like all of them but Violet is my favourite.

Aaahhh that's nice! My dm doesn't like them as they remind her of old farts.....her words not mine! I don't have those associations though apart from one lady.

Only what a pretty or unusual name it is, never negative Smile

pennylovesleonard · 31/12/2012 23:26

A few 'that's an old ladies name.....' Before she was born but I've got an old ladies name so I don't care Grin

All very positive reactions now but that's because she is so gorgeous

VerySmallSqueak · 31/12/2012 23:24

Violet,then Ivy then Pearl.
