Eliza

HettyB · 15/06/2015 07:32

First choice Eliza, second choice Violet (though I always think it sounds like violent).

Really don't like Lydia, sorry!

GlitzAndGigglesx · 15/06/2015 07:15

Lydia or Eliza

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 15/06/2015 07:08

I like Lydia but not as much as I like Laetitia (although that name has been ruined a bit by variations on spelling)

Violet - I also prefer Viola but like it

Eliza - my least favourite but then I'm not keen on shortened names on their own, so I'd use Elizabeth and open up the options on nns.

Nospringflower · 15/06/2015 07:05

Don't like Lydia. Would choose Eliza then Violet.

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 15/06/2015 07:01

Hmm I like them all!
Lydia Violet flows really well.
Or Eliza Violet.

BrambleBee · 15/06/2015 06:57

Violet Eliza goes best with Amelia

ipsofactocollapso · 15/06/2015 05:22

Violet

CycleChic · 14/06/2015 23:18

All are lovely, however I vote for Elizabeth with Eliza as her nickname.

lindsay982 · 14/06/2015 23:13

Eliza

Sophronia · 14/06/2015 23:06

Lydia Violet

PunkAssMoFo · 14/06/2015 22:58

Violet

297 · 14/06/2015 22:50

I love Eliza. It's a name I would like to be called as an adult IYSWIM

nottheOP · 14/06/2015 22:44

I like Lydia but less keen on 2 ia names.

Probably violet from the others.

Eliza = my fair lady and gaaaaan

Allalonenow · 14/06/2015 22:42

Lydia or Violet.
Not at all keen on Eliza, also think it is quite close in sound to Amelia.

Icedfinger · 14/06/2015 22:42

I like Lydia a lot, also like violet. Don't really like Eliza.

WankerDeAsalWipe · 14/06/2015 22:38

Lydia
Eliza
Violet

I'd put them in the order you listed them - probably your subconscious at play anyway and that's your preferred order :)

However, I think Violet sounds best with Amelia if that matters to you - the others are very similar with the "a" ending.

BikeRunSki · 14/06/2015 22:38

You've just named DD's ballet class (including Amelia). There are 2 Lydias and 2 Violets, I'd go with Eliza.

MadameJosephine · 14/06/2015 22:37

Violet is my favourite closely followed by Eliza. Don't like Lydia, sorry

ashesandfire · 14/06/2015 22:35

Eliza, Lydia, Violet would be my order of preference, but I like all 3

Violet Eliza, not keen on Lydia.

MrsHathaway · 14/06/2015 22:11

I like them all, in the order you've listed them.

If you use two, I'd love Lydia Violet.

Good luck!
