Honest thoughts please. They're not shortlisted yet as not sure how they're perceived.

No, not twins, sorry for the confusion - just possible names! There's more that aren't either of those names but I'm weirdly drawn to these although DH may need convincing.

Violet over Scarlet.

I love Scarlet and if it wasn't for our surname being Brown I would have seriously considered it. For twins I'm not sure about the two together with the -let endings but that's just me not loving matching twin names!

Much prefer Violet. I find Scarlet quite harsh sounding and it's more popular at the moment. Violet is a bit more classic imo.

I quite like the trend of colours as names - we have a Jade and a Coral in the wider family, and I've looked after an Amber.

You're having twins are you, or is it an either / or scenario. I'd prefer Scarlet to Violet, but I don't know why. Maybe I perceive Violet to be an 'older' person's name than a babies one. If you are having twins, I think it's quite cute.
