So looks like this is our final girl name list:

Florence
Violet
Adeline - bit worried people will just miss hear this as Madeline

Any favourite? Thanks

I prefer Flora or Fleur to Florence.
Violet is pretty but so is Viola.
Vivien(ne) has a similar sort of feel.

Love Adeline!

MammieBear · 30/01/2018 18:25

Adeline is lovely! It not hard to pronounce at all and Ballad Pour Adeline is a gorgeous lullaby to play to her.

AnyaMoondial · 30/01/2018 18:25

Violet is lovely. I like Florence too.

I like them all! Florence Violet would be a great name. Adeline could have the cool nickname of Ada.

Violet

Adeline!! I don't particularly like the others (violent and Flo!!) and I really think Adeline is a lovely name

Soon2BeMumTo3 · 30/01/2018 17:42

Adeline is lovely. Used to be on one of my lists. I don’t see much of a problem pronunciation wise x

Rockandrollwithit · 30/01/2018 17:42

Violet or Adeline.

Never been a fan of Florence. It's really popular too, which would put me off personally.

SimplyNigella · 30/01/2018 17:41

I prefer Violet, but do like Florence too. But are quite popular in some areas, if that bothers you (it doesn’t me).

Inthedeepdarkwinter · 30/01/2018 17:41

Florence nice.

Violet not for me, although plenty on here do like it.

Adeline, I do see the pronunciation issues, but it's a lovely name.

That probably wasn't helpful- if I had to pick one, I'd go with Florence.

Adeline is lush!

I have a Eva and it’s misheard as Ava but I just correct them and carry on.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/01/2018 17:38

Violet

Chocolatecake12 · 30/01/2018 17:38

From your list I like Florence best

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 30/01/2018 17:38

Florence

MikeUniformMike · 30/01/2018 17:36

Not Adeline. Is it Add-A-line, or Ad-a-lyn? It's long, not pretty and will be shortened to Addy.
