DD3 due in a couple of weeks but still not 100% sure on name. Favourites at moment are Lara ( with possibly Larissa as full registered name?) or Violet. Could be Violet Lara... or Lara Violet. Just can't decide! Which do you prefer?

Lara is nice, Larissa is awful. Violet is lovely!

Violet

I'd say Lara Violet.
Depends on sibling names though.

Lara violet is gorgeous.

Love the name Violet - if I was having a DD now that would be one of my top names. I also really like Lara, but not so much - probably as wouldn't work with my surname but may be better with yours.

Lara is DD2's middle name. It is a name in its own right, according to the name book we had. DH is a big fan of Dr Zhivago.

I agree that Lara Violet is a lovely name.

Don't find Larissa at all awful, it is the name of my beautiful Russian-Armenian SIL, who is called Lara for short. Love Violet. all pretty IMO.

Lara Violet sounds like Palma Violets to me.

Love Violet, hate Lara.

Alisvolatpropiis · 29/09/2013 13:02

I like Lara.

Don't like Larissa or Violet though.
