Violet or Dorothy?

[femmeaufoyer]

Expecting DC2, not finding out sex. Boys name sorted.

2 options for a girl are Dorothy Alice (my favourite) or Violet Alice (DH favourite)

I have an aversion to names that are too popular, but equally don't want "trying too hard"... I would welcome your thoughts. Thanks.

Psammead, I agree, dorothea is great too.

Love the name Violet but met the most gorgeous liitle girl ever this weekend called Dotty which has made me love the name!

Oooh yes - Dorothea.

Violet.

I think Violet is adorable. Dorothy is still too old-lady for me...not quite ready for a comeback yet in my books. But I really like Violet.
