Violet Smile

Violet

Scarlet is a bit over-used at the mo and a bit meh IMO

PacificOcean · 19/09/2016 17:26

I know lots of Scarletts (age 6 and below) and no Violets. So I'd go for Violet if you want something more unusual.

Tmi0722 · 19/09/2016 17:27

Violet I love it

123beanie · 19/09/2016 17:30

Violet

MaxineRockatansky · 19/09/2016 17:36

Violet.

orangepudding · 19/09/2016 17:38

I love Violet, don't really like Scarlet.

JinkxMonsoon · 19/09/2016 17:38

I prefer Violet, but if going for Scarlett, I'd use the conventional spelling because everyone will use two T's anyway.

Incidentally, I have no idea why the colour has one T and the name has two...

NotNob · 19/09/2016 17:38

Violet is beautiful

harderandharder2breathe · 19/09/2016 17:38

Violet is lovely

EvermoreEvermore · 19/09/2016 17:39

Violet

AmysTiara · 19/09/2016 17:40

I don't like the spelling of Scarlet so I'll say Violet.

Foxtato · 19/09/2016 17:45

Violet - lovely!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/09/2016 18:15

Definitely Scarlett, beautiful name OP.

villainousbroodmare · 19/09/2016 18:17

Scarlet is a strong vibrant colour. Violet is demure and subtle. Maybe you should wait till you see her!

Purplebluebird · 19/09/2016 18:25

I love both to be honest!

Nonameyet1 · 19/09/2016 18:41

I love both too, tough one!

Lutrine · 19/09/2016 18:52

Violet is gorgeous

KatieScarlett · 19/09/2016 18:54

Scarlett

Sativa · 19/09/2016 18:56

I love Violet - the colour, the flower & it's my cousin's name Smile I also like the letters and how the word sounds Grin

Honeybee79 · 19/09/2016 20:58

Both lovely. I would wait until you meet her to make the final decision but my preference would be Violet.

MrsGsnow18 · 19/09/2016 21:16

Scarlett seems like a very strong confident sort of name I think. I don't patricualry like it, though I've no real reasons why. I've never known one.
Violet I think it the better of the two options.

BellaShLex · 19/09/2016 22:10

Violet is lovely, so pretty.

ScarlettDarling · 19/09/2016 22:11

Scarlett of course! Beautiful name.

rhuhbarb4 · 19/09/2016 22:11

Scarlett. But that's personal preference I have a dd that is 2 and she is Scarlett with a double barrelled surname.
