Sadie, then Amber - could you use Viola instead of Violet for middle name if using Amber.

Don't like the meaning of Claudia.

MelCookie · 16/02/2017 14:28

Claudia is lovely,
Followed by Sadie.
Not keen on Amber at all.

PageStillNotFound404 · 16/02/2017 03:48

Prefer Amber but agree re Amber Violet being a no, quite like Claudia, really don't like Sadie (and I can't say it without mentally adding "the bra lady" after a service that used to be advertised on the back of buses in my old hometown, although I appreciate that's a very niche objection and unlikely to cause your DD any problems should you decide to go with Sadie).

How about Claudine Amber?

RuthB4 · 14/02/2017 20:55

I love all three names! I'm put off Claudia because people always seem to pronounce it differently. Also, personally, I'm not keen on Claude as a nn, but you obviously love it which is the main thing!

MadameJosephine · 14/02/2017 20:32

Another vote for Claidia violet, beautiful name

SuperBeagle · 14/02/2017 20:16
  1. Sadie
  2. Amber
  1. Claudia

I really dislike the name Claudia, even though it's the name of one of my best friends who I've known since Kindergarten. You'd think I would've warmed to the name by now, but I still think it's awful.

Sadie is one of my favourites, and Amber is lovely too, but I agree that Amber Violet doesn't work.

Jooni · 14/02/2017 18:24

Claudia. Not too keen on the others.

DramaAlpaca · 14/02/2017 18:23

Claudia

mum2be2boys · 14/02/2017 18:16

Love Claudia :-)

Chinnygirl · 14/02/2017 18:06

Sadie or Amber. Although there are a lot of Ambers being born around here.

harderandharder2breathe · 14/02/2017 18:05

Claudia but be prepared for people pronouncing it differently (claw dia or cloud ia) but most people should only need telling once or twice which one you're using

Sadie I would've discounted but for a lovely little girl I knew with that name so I can now picture it on a child (she would be about 13 now)

Sophronia · 14/02/2017 17:22

Definitely Claudia.

Florrie21 · 14/02/2017 16:54

Ha ha, us your one syllable surname green! Amber Violet Green hee hee..

Florrie21 · 14/02/2017 16:52

Claudia is my fave. Sadie is quite trendy I think, quite like it. Amber, not so keen.

CakeRattleandRoll · 14/02/2017 14:44

Claudia

AnnetteKertan · 14/02/2017 14:36

Claudia

Purplebluebird · 14/02/2017 14:18

Amber for sure!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/02/2017 13:45

Amber.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 14/02/2017 13:41

Nice trio of names Smile at a push I like Amber best.

lalaland1985 · 14/02/2017 13:39

Another vote for Claudia Violet! Beautiful!

NickyEds · 14/02/2017 13:38

Sadie. I loved it for dd (and Amber actually!) but dp wasn't keen. I think it's a lovely name. You can't have Amber violet!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/02/2017 13:36

Fantastic choices.

I love Sadie, followed by Claudia.

littlepooch · 14/02/2017 13:34

I love Amber but doesn't go with Violet as others have said. I do also really like Claudia.

KlingybunFistelvase · 14/02/2017 13:31
  1. Sadie - I really love this name! I expect it isn't to everyone's taste though.
  2. Claudia - very nice, really like it, but not as much as I love Sadie.
  3. Amber - I probably would like this, except that know one who has put me off the name.

How about Hazel, Eleanor (Beatles song, like Sadie!) or Harriet?
