Our baby girl, who's due in December, needs a name :)

Madeleine Violet or Violet Madeleine?

We love them both!

SorenaJ · 15/11/2016 18:57

Madeleine Violet

AliciaMayEmory · 15/11/2016 18:58

Love them both. (Not much help!) But out of the two I'd go for Madeleine Violet.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/11/2016 19:02

Madeleine Violet

Loyly · 15/11/2016 19:07

I love them both but Madeleine Violet wins.

BratFarrarsPony · 15/11/2016 19:10

Madeleine definitely.
Violet just looks like Violent tbh

I like them both (unhelpful Grin)

AdrienneVole · 15/11/2016 19:19

They are both lovely but I prefer Madeleine.

KlingybunFistelvase · 15/11/2016 19:20

Violet by miles.

I'm sure I've answered this exact question already this week... or am having some serious deja vu!

Either way, Violet every time Smile.

EsmesBees · 15/11/2016 19:23

I love both these names. Madeleine Violet edges it slightly.

TurquoiseClouds · 15/11/2016 19:23

KlingybunFistelvase - really? I thought the name would be slightly unusual... :( as in, the names together!

Let me check my "I'm on" list for you OP! It's entirely possible I'm just going a bit Confused.

Just a weird coincidence I reckon OP. I've never met a baby with either name myself, so don't think they're terribly common.

buttercup54321 · 15/11/2016 19:38

Violet every time xx

Coey2016 · 15/11/2016 19:44

I would go for Madeleine, so pretty. Violet is lovely too though.

Flowercat16 · 15/11/2016 19:47

Both are lovely. You could narrow down the order by which name shortening do you prefer the most i.e. Violet - Vi/Vee/Lettie or Maddy/Mads.

Floralnomad · 15/11/2016 19:50

Madeleine , I'm not keen on Violet .

TurquoiseClouds · 15/11/2016 19:51

Flowercat16 - I love Maddie. I'd definitely use that... I didn't think Violet would be shortened!
