Violet - lovely name. Much classier and timeless imo than Frankie which is a name I don't like.

Thundercake · 23/12/2016 22:39

Both depend on the accent they're said in I think. I really like Violet but live in an area where the T wouldn't be pronounced properly so took it off my list

I love Frances nn Frankie, but not just Frankie. Violet is very pretty too

2plus1plusL1 · 23/12/2016 22:43

Violet. Not keen on Frankie at all for girl or boy

Notthecarwashagain · 23/12/2016 22:44

Violet.
Lovely name!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/12/2016 22:45

Frankie but with either Francesca or Frances on her BC.
I can't stand Violet. Its one of those nice names that got spoiled by becoming too overused. Once elegant now quite faddy imho

Sophronia · 23/12/2016 23:27

Violet

Love either (with Frances as the given name for frankie), but I'm confused that they're the two choices; they're so very different from each other you must surely have some instinctive preference for one or the other?

I prefer Frankie if the given name is Frances or Francesca. Violet reminds me of Violet Elizabeth Bott from Just William.

MrsMeeseeks · 24/12/2016 09:39

Violet. I will never understand how or why Frankie became an acceptable name for a little girl.

BayaGoji · 24/12/2016 10:05

Violet because Frankie is too masculine.

Purplebluebird · 24/12/2016 10:06

Violet 100%

buttercup54321 · 24/12/2016 10:07

Definitely Violet. Cant stand Frankie for a girl.

Frances or Francesca. Not keen on Frankie or Violet tbh

RortyCrankle · 24/12/2016 16:29

Frances or Francasca - nn Frankie

comewoowoowithme · 24/12/2016 16:37

I love them both and have a dd named one of those!

TheSlaughterOfHerodificado · 24/12/2016 16:37

Violet.

Lovely!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/12/2016 17:33

Violet or Frances.

Gollygeewhizztits · 24/12/2016 17:52

I like Violet but prefer Frankie. I would have full name as Frances or Francesca though.

ViewBasket · 24/12/2016 21:13

Violet. I also like Frances, but not Frankie.

QueenLizIII · 25/12/2016 03:34

Violet doesnt sound nice at all. Looks and sounds like Violent. Never understood its popularity.

Why not call her Francesca. Let a NN evolve naturally and maybe frankie will be nn.

1horatio · 25/12/2016 12:57

Violet

MikeUniformMike · 25/12/2016 18:19

I like Frances. Francesca sounds a bit affected.
Violet is quite nice but could be vile, violent ...
Viola is quite nice but is it VeeOLa or Vie-Ola?

user1471545174 · 28/12/2016 20:00

Francesca is nice.

Agree Violet looks like Violent. Also reminds me of Violet Elizabeth Bott.
