Violet's sister is called...?

We've just found out we are having another girl and I am totally stumped on girls names! I was certain I was having a boy and had the name all picked out!!

Could you help me with name suggestions to go with Violet? I don't want anything old fashioned again so I would like something with more of a modern sound. A few on my list but I'm not sold on are:

Honor (husband hates this)
Amelie (a new addition- maybe too similar to Emily? I've got an Emily in the family)
Iris (not sure about another flower)
Esme (love this but I would pronounce it Ez-me and I think everyone else says Ez-may)
Winnie/Bobbie/Billie (like these but don't love the long versions of the names)

Violet and Ruby
Both distinctive colours but one is a flower and one a gemstone.
Both charming

I have an Esme Scarlett
Just keep repeating Esme and people get it eventually. At school most teachers ask her if it's Esme or Esmay.

Looove Violet, was very nearly my daughter's name! We went with Olive instead.

I really love Honor, I would try to work hour husband on that. Maybe Eleanor? I do like Iris as well.

My auntie Violet had sisters called Elsie and Lillian if that helps.

Violet is such lovely name you need to find something as nice. Pearl Rosa Iris.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 31/03/2021 14:46

I was going to say Esme... would have been my choice but I have 3 sons
Gorgeous name

Tocktickclick · 31/03/2021 14:41

I love Violet! Wish I could have another baby so I could use it.
Hmmm.... Imogen, Claudia, Daphne and Madeleine would be on my list I think. And perhaps Felicity, Faith, Hope or Ruth (not keen on Honor personally but those suggestions follow that line of thinking imo)

CaptainSpirit · 31/03/2021 14:34

Violet is such a beautiful name, always my favourite growing up! 💜

My two daughters are named Violet and Cassie, I just love saying them together. Smile

udnertheradar · 31/03/2021 14:19

Mabel!

Lockdownbear · 31/03/2021 14:18

Definitely can't share her name with the dogGrin.

Violet is a beautiful name Smile
I really struggled to name my own kids. I seem to pick fault with loads of names.

@QwertyGirly

Louisa. Violet and Louisa. Louisa and Violet.
Louisa just feels a bit plain to me. Sorry!

@Otterspotterspocket

The first name that popped into my head was Daisy - sweet and delicate. But the flower theme might not appear (and may e I am subconsciously channelling the Bucket sisters. Hmm
I always think of Violet as the flower rather than the colour so maybe a bit too flowery?!
