Violet or Kiki

DD2 is due in a few weeks and we can't decide on a name. Violet has been just about the only one DH and I agree on and we love Lettie for short. But I have recently thrown Kiki into the mix and we both love that one! Any thoughts on either name? Is Violet at risk of becoming overused?

I had a school friend called Kiki, it was short for Vasiliki, so there you go, a long version if you're bovvered Wink

I love the name Violet.

Kiki is a frog.

Kiki 's Delivery Service is fab! Smile

Not overly fond of either though Violet is nicer.
Kiki doesn't seem like a 'proper' name.

Have you seen Kiki's Delivery Service? Cute little witch called Kiki! She might not thank you when she's a high-flying professional though!

I love Violet!

Violet was my girls name, had all boys though!

SnozzberryPie · 23/04/2015 21:42

Violet is much nicer

I like Violet fine & Lettie is ok. Kiki as full girl name ticks my flakey california airhead box (sorry; I'm from CA so get to say that).
