Violet & Scarlett are lovely but I’m not a fan of Aurora. I do like Aurelia though

Sharonthetotallyinsane · 31/12/2019 06:10

Violet.

Aurora is inexplicably popular at the moment.

Poorolddaddypig · 31/12/2019 06:07

I did like Aurora and considered it for my DD but everyone said it was Disney and would date so it put me off Sad

Poorolddaddypig · 31/12/2019 06:06

LOVE Scarlett and Violet!

Astronica · 31/12/2019 04:41

I think all 3 names are quite lovely.

For my favourite I'm tossing between Violet and Scarlett. I do find the t ending really appealing. They don't need nicknames at all but I think Lettie is nice for both these if you want it. Does any one of them sound much better with the surname?

Honeybee85 · 31/12/2019 01:09

Violet and Scarlett are gorgeous 😍.

Aurora is nice too but it sounds a bit ‘Disney’ to me if you know what I mean.

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2019 01:07

I like Violet nn Lettie, but not the others.

Thenamedame · 31/12/2019 01:05

Tbh I think you'll just have to have 2 more daughters and use them all! They are not only beautiful names but make a lovely sibling set too. All the beautiful colours that come to mind 😍😍😍

Ellecrawford · 30/12/2019 23:58

I love ALL these names. If I had to go in order though it would go ..

  1. Violet
  2. Aurora
  3. Scarlett
SebandAlice · 30/12/2019 21:57

Violet. I love the nn Vivi

Soawesome · 30/12/2019 21:55

Violet is lovely. Aurora is ok but a bit Disney Princess.
Scarlett is a bit naff in my view.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/12/2019 20:00

Scarlett not Charlotte

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/12/2019 20:00

Love both Violet and Aurora. Not a fan of Charlotte

MamaFlintstone · 30/12/2019 19:04

Of that list, Violet is my favourite. If you do think you might choose Aurora, spend a lot of time saying it out loud. I think it looks lovely written down but sounds bloody awful in a lot of accents.

Hadn’t thought of that!

Violet can be Lettie/y.

GrannyBags · 30/12/2019 17:48

I love Scarlett. Violet is ok. Aurora is becoming less unusual. We have 3 in school now.

MikeUniformMike · 30/12/2019 17:47

Scarlett.
Violet will be Vi and as much as I like the vi editor, Violet looks too much like Violent.
Aurora is just too princessy, and is a bit cwap if you can't say

Soffy · 30/12/2019 17:46

Violet is nice.

Spied · 30/12/2019 17:45

Love Scarlett
Violet is nice
Aurora is awful

TatianaLarina · 30/12/2019 17:43

Violet and Aurora. Scarlett is quite naff.

Aurora is Roman goddess of the dawn. (yawn)

StanleyWalkersThirdWife · 30/12/2019 17:41

Scarlett is my favourite, then Aurora.

I would go for Scarlett Aurora as first name and middle name Smile

20viona · 30/12/2019 17:41

Got to be Violet.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 30/12/2019 17:39

Violet is beautiful ❤️

Dislike Aurora, largely because it's so difficult for a young child to say.

tamarisk44 · 30/12/2019 16:08

I really love Aurora but had to drop it from my shortlist in the end because I thought that, gorgeous as it is, it isn't the most sensible name to see you through your adult life. I'd go for Violet.
