Violette and other names that don't end in 'a'.

[Cortina]

I quite like Violette for a girl. Is that spelling ok?

Looking for a girls name that doesn't end in 'a'. Quite like:

Irene (thinking 'European chic' rather than permed older lady)!
Imogen
Carine
Jennifer (a bit dull)?
Joan (I know it's an old lady name, but could be cool)?
Mathilde (not sure of spelling)
Evangeline
Adelaide/Adeline
Madeleine
Caroline
Jacqueline (although will this inevitably be Jackie)? I think this is a lovely name and maybe due a revival? Maybe not quite yet though.

Not keen on Juliet/Juliette, Mary or Marie.

I prefer Violet. But best on your list is Joan.
how about
Ottilie
Mabel
Meredith
Jean
Sally
Maude

Imogen gets my vote with Madeleine a close second. Don't like Caroline and Mathilde would probably end up as Matilda so you'd have your "a" at the end

I also prefer Violet.

Imogen and Madeleine are the others I like from your list. How about Rachel, Hannah, Harriet, Sophie, Miriam, Iris or Alice?

I would pronounce Violette differently to Violet.

I like Violet and
Irene
Joan
Evangeline from your list

I guess from your list -y or -ie names are out too

Susan
Rachel
Megan
Ruth
Enid
Esther
Jane
Kate
Grace
Clare
Helen
Eve
but I suspect all are a bit plain for you

I love Miriam and Caroline though
Florence?
Catherine?
Millicent
Elizabeth
MArgaret
Juliet
Beatrice

I'm a Violet, I like it now but when I was younger it was very unpopular and I hated it. I think it's lovely now I am older and it seems to be more used now.

I don't like it spelled Violette though, looks like you'd need to prounounce it in a french accent to me!

I love Rachael and Kate from Mrs Badgers list.

I love Adelaide. It dances on the tongue.
Violette is cool too.
Evangeline is sweet.

I find the others too old, but not dusty enough to be retro, or old lady chic.

Celimene, Celine, Cécile, Ismene, Hermione, Adelie, Floriane, Vivien, Sidonie, Margaux, Marjolaine, Amadine, Salomé, Cicely, Astrid?

I would pronounce Violette "Vee-oh-let" not like Violet. Quite like both. I have a Madeleine.

oh oh

Florence

Irayne - Eye-Ray-Knee is a bit less Bingo-playing-old-lady than Irene.

What about Delphine or Celeste?

Caroline is gorgeous. Classy and underused.

Kate is simple and timeless.

Adelaide is rather lovely too bt I'd fear many shortenings and the full name not really being used.

I rather like Jane myself. Elegantly simplistic rather like Kate.

Or, Agnes, I love this.

Elspeth

I like Violet (not Violette unless you are french) and also like Imogen best from your list.

Madeliene sounds like a cake.

Joy
Fleur

fwiw I much prefer Violet to Violette.

I know a Violette - lovely name, but the mother IS french.

What about Hazel, I have a Madeleine as well. One nut and one cake

Without hearing it beforehand, i'd pronounce it Vee-oh-Let-uh. Which i think is very pretty.

I love all your other names also, particularly Adelaide/Adeline.

Marianne
or
Annis (old form of Agnes)

Juliet
Beatrice
Abigail
Annabel
Elizabeth
Vivien

Already suggested but Marianne and Rachel are lovely lovely. I love Meredith.

I am not ready for Jacqueline yet,, it's awful. Sorry.
