Violet, Sophia or Freya

[Rosesandnature]

Hi everyone, I'm expecting a girl soon and just wondering which of these names you prefer? Thanks

Violet, but I'm biased because its my eldest DDs name. I've always really loved it.

Sophia

Freya

Violet, as the others are incredibly popular.

Violet

I think it's just a personal thing isn't it, what suits her when she's here and what you yourself like for her OP. What other people like or what is most popular doesn't need to factor unless you let it.

I can't say I gravitate towards any of them. I prefer Sophie to Sophia.

They are all lovely names!
Enjoy your baby girl

Violet for me too

Violet.

Sophia and Freya are just too commonplace.

neither of them are great - I know 2 adults named Sophia and Freya though.

I'd worry that Violet would be shortened to Vi which sounds old womanish to me.

I know three Violets under 5 so I would choose Freya, it’s really pretty.

Sophia is my all time favourite girl's name and I love Freya too.

Much less keen on Violet - it manages to be both wimpy and sound like 'violent' at the same time. Also when I see it written down it reminds me of the word 'toilet'.

I like Violet best, but they're all nice.

Any of them. They are all very safe (boring) popular names.

Violet.

I love them all, one of my daughters has one of these names

Freya is lovely.

That. Not that there is anything wrong with boring and safe names.

I wouldn’t say Violet is particularly “safe” personally - I’ve never met a child with that name and would consider it quite unusual. The other two names are admittedly far more safe, conventional choices. And for that reason Violet is my favourite of the three!

Violet is lovely.

Violet. I love those slightly old fashioned names, Maude is a particular favourite, but that is, apparently, just me! I've never met a Violet but I don't know any 5-year-olds, so that may be why, by the sounds of it. Both my DDs have names that turned out to be very popular in their age groups, while unknown in girls even 5 years older, I don't know how it happens but it's never been a problem either.

In my child’s school, there are 3 Violets, 1 Freya and 6 Sophia’s!!! It’s a small primary school of 110 kids. I’d say Sophia and Violet are far more popular than Freya

Freya or Sophia.

Personally, I really don't like violet. Both Sophia and Freya are very popular, I do love Freya though and Sophie rather than Sophia.

I love Freya
