Still haven't named week old daughter

My baby girl is over a week old and we still haven't settled on a name for her. We thought we would name her Violet, but we're not sure she looks like one, and various family members have told us how horrible the name is!

So our current shortlist is
Anna
Violet
Catherine (Kitty)
April
Thea

Any thoughts/opinions /suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Anna! Best name ever.

Swearwolf · 29/10/2017 11:07

I love Violet! I don't like anna or Catherine, Thea is lovely if you're not sure about Violet. I love it though!

I'm not keen on Violet either - reminds me of violent and it's a bit of a weed. All your other names on your list are really nice.

I love the name Thea. Violet is not so nice and brings the word violent to mind I’m afraid.

RaeCJ82 · 29/10/2017 10:18

Catherine (Kitty) is lovely!

yawning801 · 29/10/2017 10:17

Catherine all the way! It's a lovely name.

Sophronia · 29/10/2017 10:16

Anna or Catherine!

I love Catherine nn Kitty, Catherine violet is lovely.

I agree with them on Violet. It's very harsh, and popular right now as one of the flower names, but somehow it just doesn't work. And Vi is horrible!

Anna is head and shoulders above the other names- classic, gentle, beautiful.

I like Anna and Kitty. Congratulations on your new baby

Congratulations.
Violet is a beautiful name. Would you mind showing us a picture, so we can try and see what name she looks like
