Leo or Violet ❤

Leo or Violet - both fabulous names which go so well with Matilda & Noah.

ColdHandsHotHead · 21/04/2023 17:52

There's a horrible little girl called Violet Elizabeth in the Just William books.

Elspethelf · 21/04/2023 02:06

Leo and Zelda are my faves! I had Geo and Zeena on my list so they are close hahaha. Your whole list is lovely :)

Zelda is a character in a computer game.

It's also the name of a wonderfully talented write r and playwrite.

Correct. There are lots of names that are characters in games/films/books.

For a boy I think Harris John works best
(though I love Rowan but agree with others, it sounds too similar to Noah).

For a girl, if you're not set on the order of names, I actually think Rosalie sounds perfect with your other two, I would use Rosalie Violet.

So,
Matilda, Noah, Harris
Matilda, Noah, Rosalie

Thank you, i totally hadn't notice the similarity with Rowan and Noah. But that'd so true! And Matilda has kind of nicknamed Noah "NoNo" and we'd probably end up with NoNo and RoRo hahaha

Hugo and Zelda

But they are all nice other than Harris (faddy) and Olive (only in a salad)

FayCarew · 19/04/2023 19:37

Hugo and Zelda

emmathedilemma · 19/04/2023 19:27

Leo or Olive

ourflagmeansdeath · 19/04/2023 18:59

For your boy names I love all of them but Harris. And I think that the remaining 3 all go really well with Matilda and Noah but my favourite would be Rowan. Then for girls names Violet by far, it goes well with your other 2 so nicely as well. I hate the name Olive (I hate the food as well...) and dislike Zelda (which also seems a bit too unique with Matilda and Noah). Violet is lovely though.

Louoby · 19/04/2023 18:53

I love Rowan and Violet 😊

HuggingtheHRT · 19/04/2023 18:44

Leo or Harris and Olive are all lovely.

Cannot stand Zelda at all. Sounds like a baddie in a fairy tale...

MargauxM · 19/04/2023 18:09

Olive or Hugo 👌

Mumofgirls2017 · 19/04/2023 17:19

I’d pick Leo and olive; go well with your others I think!

wingsofabird · 19/04/2023 16:38

Great lists!
Love harris Hugo and olive
I agree that Rowan and Noah just sound way too similar or awkward if said together. I also know lots of baby Romans with an M (top 20 name now) so I'd avoid another name so similar.

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/04/2023 16:07

I like Leo and Olive
