I'm not keen on the name Violet, but May and Rose are very overdone as middles (the new Louise, Claire or Jane from 30/40 years ago) so my preference of the names as they are on your list is definitely Lydia Violet.

If we can swap them around then I like Lydia Alice best, then Rose Emily or Rose Lydia, or May Lydia or May Alice. Which of those I'd pick for second choice would depend on your surname for flow reasons (starting initial and number of syllables etc).

Thank you.
I think Violet needs to go...forgot about Violet Beauregard and now I cannot forget her!

May and Rose are filler middle names, so no to those,

Lydia is nice but will be Lyds so no as a first name.

I prefer Alice to Emily, so Alice as a first name

My shortlist for you:

Alice Emily,
Alice Lydia
or Emily Lydia.

Love all three first names, and May and Rose, but don't like Violet at all - makes me think of the awful character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the word violent!

Think I like Lydia Rose as the best possible combo, and Emily May best out of your three suggested combinations! But you can't go wrong with Lydia, Emily or Alice - all classic and beautiful names. Alice seems to be getting much more popular very suddenly if that bothers you.

My favourite is Alice Violet but all nice names.
