We are really struggling to decide which 2 names to use for our daughter arriving in 8 weeks, we don't want to ask our families opinion as we want her name to be a surprise when she born. We love all three but only want to use 2 names (first & middle) and we have a son called Oscar John (our surname is Hudson).

Which do you prefer out of the below combos.....

Eden Piper
Eden Violet

Piper Eden
Piper Violet

Violet Eden
Violet Piper

Piper Violet.

Otherwise, Violet Piper.

Violet piper, dd states it sounds like a nice name, she is 9.

NikiBabe · 28/09/2017 00:50

Definitely not Violet Piper. It made me think of a Scottish bag piper dressed in purple / violet! It sounds descriptive that way around rather than a name.

I like Eden Violet.

Eden Violet

Violet Piper and Violet Eden sound too descriptive.

CatsAreFromOuterSpace · 27/09/2017 19:53

Violet something

Sorry don't like Piper or Eden

17caterpillars1mouse · 27/09/2017 19:51

Eden Violet or Violet Eden

Mummyoftwo91 · 27/09/2017 19:49

I have an oscar and violet Grin they do go very well together, violet Eden sounds lovely

Ttbb · 27/09/2017 19:47

I've always hated the name Piper, no idea why, just the way it sounds I guess. I would go for Eden Violet.

Piper Eden Smile

SunSeaAndSangria · 27/09/2017 19:04

Violet (my fav name) Eden is lovely.

bridgetreilly · 27/09/2017 19:02

Oscar and Violet work really nicely as siblings.

I like Violet Eden but I think she sounds as though she might have been Anthony Eden's wife, so I would probably go for Violet Piper.

Piper Violet

Eden Violet. Eden has a lovely sound and meaning, Violet has a nice meaning but a sound that is a bit harsh (also sounds like 'violent'). It has a bit of a fusty old lady vibe too. Obviously it's a beautiful flower and colour though, so to be paired with Eden gets rid of these disadvantages.

Don't think much of Piper really, it's one of those surnames-for-first-names which I hate, especIally for girls.

Piper Violet

AuntGertrude · 27/09/2017 17:49

pilates · 27/09/2017 16:57

Violet Eden, strongly dislike Piper

SingingSeuss · 27/09/2017 15:54

I loved Piper, so probably Piper violet

thefutureisours · 27/09/2017 15:52

Violet Eden, although personally I'm not keen on middle names. I would just go with Violet.

LostwithSawyer · 27/09/2017 15:50

Violet eden

NinonDeLenclos · 27/09/2017 15:45

Eden is uber chavvy.

I'd go for Violet Piper.

Scattymere · 27/09/2017 15:33

Violet Piper sounds lovely with Hudson.

Beek84 · 27/09/2017 15:17

Eden Piper
