Violet Wren!

Kittykatmacbill · 30/05/2016 18:39

Wren is nicer. I think violet wren might be a bit mean initialswise... VW Volkswagen?

Hazel Wren

Violet Wren

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/05/2016 16:42

Love both. No use at all to you!

septembersunshine · 30/05/2016 16:41

Hazel I think. Because otherwise it's like you are saying 'Violent Wren' - as in Violent bird... I always think Violet is one letter away from the word violent though...

RonaldMcDonald · 30/05/2016 12:41

Violent wrench?

Hazel is a nice name
Violet is a nice name

Wren????

SapphireStrange · 30/05/2016 12:31

I think Violet's a beautiful name. I know it's popular but I wouldn't care, I love it so much.

Hazel is just fine, IMO.

Hazel Wren is lovely

TurquoiseMoon · 30/05/2016 12:13

I prefer Violet Wren Smile

PuppyMonkey · 30/05/2016 08:40

Hazel is still too much a 1970s middle aged name to me. Usually screeched: "Ayzullllllll!" round here.

Violet is cute.

Hazel Wren. It's really pretty and I think Hazel is less heard than Violet at the mo.

Lighteningirll · 30/05/2016 08:21

Violet

I really really like Hazel Wren. What fab names you choose!

I've always thought that it's best to avoid names that are adjectives if they will be followed by nouns, so would discount Violet Wren on that basis. But that's just me.

Hazel Wren is lovely..... We very nearly had Wren as a middle name for one of our twins and at the last minute decided on no middle names, I wish we had now

LadyAntonella · 30/05/2016 07:33

Hazel Wren (or Wren Violet if that's an option).

joyfulworld · 30/05/2016 07:30

I like Hazel Wren.

Fletcherl · 30/05/2016 07:06

I like the Wren first.

Pengweng · 30/05/2016 07:00

I like both but Violet is one of my twins middle names so I vote that.

Ditsy4 · 30/05/2016 06:41

Hazel definitely

ThoraGruntwhistle · 30/05/2016 06:39

Violet is a much nicer name than Hazel, IMO. Congrats and best wishes
