Autumn, Grace or Violet?

This is so frustrating!!! Angry I keep thinking I've decided, but then I change my mind... These have been the top 3 since the start.

Which is your favourite?

I like the name Violet best.

I am not too keen on Grace, but my SIL is 37 and MIL is still sad that she didn't call her Grace!

I would also like to suggest Greta. I really like it at the minute.

Grace is my favourite and then Autumn. I don't like Violet.

Grace Autumn

Badgoushk · 24/09/2017 11:25

Violet Grace

Not Autumn

Love them all, all were on our list when we were naming both DDs and one is DD1's middle name. I haven't met an Autumn, have met a couple of Violets and a LOT of Graces, but I still love them. I don't think you can go wrong Smile

Violet Grace and Autumn Grace are lovely! I am not too keen on Grace as a first name though but it works as a middle name.

rosareine · 24/09/2017 11:01

They're all lovely.

I think I like Autumn best.

Violet sounds too close to 'violent' to my ear.

Not really a fan of virtue names. Being called Grace is a lot to live up to - what if she's clumsy or quick-tempered?

Autumn not really my cup of tea, but no aural confusions or possible unfortunate irony to it either.

Violet Grace

I also don't like Grace as a first name. Too religious sounding, and frankly, it sounds like a lot of pressure. What if your girl isn't graceful?

I don't like Autumn for a name, for the same reason I don't like Summer. It's a season. I find it especially odd when girls are named after seasons they aren't even born in!

Grace

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/09/2017 10:27

I don't like Grace as first name, but it rolls of the tongue as a mn.
If you're due in Autumn
Autumn-Grace. If not
Violet-Grace

ChocolateCrunch · 24/09/2017 08:20

Autumn
Violet
Grace

MammieBear · 24/09/2017 08:16

You could use all three, they sound lovely together.

tygr · 24/09/2017 08:03

Autumn

insancerre · 24/09/2017 08:01

I work with children and have met lots of Violets and Graces
I have never met an Autumn. I like Autumn the best.

My eldest is called Autumn- so I'm biased. It suits her as she's 'colourful' in character she was born in the Autumn suite at the hospital and on the Autumn equinox. So it really works for her. I like all of your names though so I can see why you can't decide! Grace has always sounded very sweet to me and violet makes me think of a strong child. Particularly in character.

Violet Grace, dislike Autumn

Crumbs1 · 24/09/2017 07:50

Violet and Grace are much nicer than Autumn unless you're a pop star or live in a commune.

2gorgeousboys · 24/09/2017 07:46

Violet Grace is beautiful

EsperanzaDesperanza · 24/09/2017 07:45

Autumn. I want another baby girl just so I can name her Autumn. It's lovely.

Redpramlady · 24/09/2017 07:41

They are all lovely thou. Maybe see if she suits one of them more when you see her.

Redpramlady · 24/09/2017 07:28

Autumn grace

Smoliver · 24/09/2017 07:28

All three are lovely. My order of preference is Grace, Autumn then Violet.

CakesRUs · 24/09/2017 07:21

Violet. Too many Graces.

IWouldLikeToKnow · 24/09/2017 06:46

Autumn is do lovely
