All three are lovely however Pear is beautiful and unusual so pips it for me.

KateByChristmas · 31/12/2012 22:24

Pear?!?!? (Reminds me of the cutted up pear thread) I of course meant Pearl stoooooooopid IPad and its auto cucumber!

Violet is my favourite out of those three namesSmile

Ivy....very pretty :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/12/2012 22:32

Violet is lovely.

Of all the old names making a comeback, I prefer Maud.

However out of your 3, Violet is my favourite.

Saying that, it might depend on your surname.....

BaileyBillyBooBoo · 31/12/2012 22:35

One vote each so far....pretty divided, it's so difficult to decide. I like Ivy as I have a ds with a three letter name and thought they would compliment each other. Pearl is a recent like as I actually used to think it was awful...this was influenced by a local woman with they name...can I move past this?! Violet I love but its getting popular.....though I expect all three are getting popular!

Bessie123 · 31/12/2012 23:20

I love all those names. Not very helpful...

Lyns22 · 31/12/2012 23:22

Violet is my fav :) x

BaileyBillyBooBoo · 31/12/2012 23:24

Those of you who said you have an Ivy and Pearl do you get any positive/negative reactions to you little dd's names?? Smile

VerySmallSqueak · 31/12/2012 23:24

Violet,then Ivy then Pearl.

pennylovesleonard · 31/12/2012 23:26

A few 'that's an old ladies name.....' Before she was born but I've got an old ladies name so I don't care Grin

All very positive reactions now but that's because she is so gorgeous

wouldratherbeonthebeach · 31/12/2012 23:28

Only what a pretty or unusual name it is, never negative Smile

BaileyBillyBooBoo · 31/12/2012 23:50

Aaahhh that's nice! My dm doesn't like them as they remind her of old farts.....her words not mine! I don't have those associations though apart from one lady.

AuntieShirley · 01/01/2013 18:19
