Middle name needed for Violet

36 replies

Violet is becoming more popular so we're looking for a less common middle name.

I like middle names such as Rose, Sky etc but Violet is already a nature name so we're stuck!

do also like names such as Emerson and Aubrey.

Any suggestions?

Violet Evangeline? I like violet mae. Violet Isabelle is pretty too.

Not keen on the Mae spelling - what's its origin?

How about another flower like Rose?

MammieBear · 05/07/2017 10:47

Violet Myrtle?

Actually I've just said that out loud and it doesn't sound great.

howdoibecreative · 05/07/2017 11:09

is Violet Blue too stupid?

Not stupid, just a bit too colourful.

Drybonesthatdream · 05/07/2017 12:27

Maybe look up some names that mean blue but aren't actually the word blue?

Definitely not Violet Elizabeth though!

Elizabeth

Violet Rose and Violet May are both pretty and actually not too naturey as they're all established names (vs 'Summer Blue' etc)

I'd put another traditional name with it rather than Emerson or Aubrey - Grace? Jane?

How long's your surname? Think of
Violet Jane Brown vs
Violet Grace Fotherington-Thomas

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 05/07/2017 12:42

A one-syllable name would be sooo pretty. Grace, June, Jane, Claire, Elle, Eve, Liv.

howdoibecreative · 05/07/2017 13:13

For some reason i don't really like May sorry!

I do love Elizabeth but can't useSad
Last name is 3 syllables so maybe shorter middle name would work best

Eimear Niamh and Claire

My DD was almost Violet Mae then I realised hormones had made me crazy. Some middle names that spring to mind:

Violet Lavinia
Violet Elspeth
Violet Maude
Violet Audrey

Aebj · 05/07/2017 13:24

Violet Ann . Was the first name that sprang to mind

AnxiousSadOnion · 05/07/2017 13:25

Violet Louise - first name I thought of.

littlelolo · 05/07/2017 13:28

Violet Belle? Violet is such a beautiful name!!

littlelolo · 05/07/2017 13:28

Violet Luna?

ifigoup · 05/07/2017 13:31

Violet is a difficult one because, as it's an adjective, you really don't want a noun in the middle.

How about:

Violet Genevieve
Violet Ginevra
Violet Joan
Violet Blythe
Violet Ruth
Violet Evgenia
Violet Delphine
Violet Liora
Violet Thomasine
Violet March

littlelolo · 05/07/2017 13:32

One more... lol! Violet Bree?
