Evelyn.
Caitlyn
Violet

Although we like the names we still don't feel like we have found the one so any suggestions too will be great.

Violet is lovely. It doesn't work with my surname otherwise I'd use it :)

Creatureofthenight · 22/10/2015 22:57

  1. Violet
  2. Evelyn
  3. Caitlyn

I think Caitlyn is better spelt Caitlin or even Katelyn. Not as keen on Caitlyn.

I really like Evelyn but the pronunciation divide would put me off.

Violet. Not keen on Caitlyn in any format but I'd go with the traditional Caitlin if you wanted that. Evelyn is nice but ridiculously popular, (and I am not really sure it justifies its supreme popularity). Violet is pretty. Congratulations x

ashesandfire · 23/10/2015 07:15

I like Violet

Lunastarfish · 23/10/2015 08:22

Violet, I just love it!

mrsschu · 23/10/2015 08:30

Evelyn
Violet
Caitlyn

I don't like Caitlyn at all actually but Evelyn is great (family name for me) and Violet is nice too. Two Violets just popped up in DD's (small) nursery recently though so I think it's getting popular. I know a couple of Evie's but none using the full name Evelyn.

applecatchers36 · 23/10/2015 08:39

Violet

RJnomaaaaaargh · 23/10/2015 08:42

Evelyn as long as pronounced eve-Lynn and not ev-Lynn which sounds dull. (Not in personality in sound)

Violet is nice but reminds me of violet Elizabeth bots
I don't like Caitlin.

DeepBlueLake · 23/10/2015 11:38

Evelyn!

Violet is okay and Caitlyn is quite dated imo.

Sophronia · 23/10/2015 12:33

Violet. I don't really like -lyn names.

Screaminlikeabanshee2 · 23/10/2015 12:41

With Caitlyn at the moment all I see is Caitlyn Jenner, so all depends.
'Violet' I don't know why but seems to rhyme with 'violence' so I don't like it either.
I quite like 'Evelyn'. I went to school with an 'Evelyn' she was the prettiest girl in school, and had an ace personality to go with it.

Never have liked Caitlyn and just see violent with violet

PallasCat · 23/10/2015 14:12

Violet. Was on my shortlist, but DH doesn't like it.
How about Ivy? Also knocked off my list!

ldc83 · 23/10/2015 17:49

Really love Violet.

KLou1105 · 23/10/2015 21:03

Evelyn :) violet seems to be getting quite popular atm, not keen on Caitlyn

cantgonofurther · 23/10/2015 21:17

Violet.

namechangedtoday15 · 23/10/2015 21:28

Hundreds of girls named Evie" around at the moment. It is lovely though, depends whether you're bothered that it's a popular name. They may not be Evelyns (Genevieve, Eve, Evangeline).

Don't really like Caitlyn (regardless of spelling) and I don't know of any Violets. That's very pretty although less keen on "Vi" which she'll probably end up with from friends / in the playground.

P.s. I am a bit fixated with what names will be shortened to which may cloud my judgement!

Evelyn.
