This is so frustrating!!! Angry I keep thinking I've decided, but then I change my mind... These have been the top 3 since the start.

Which is your favourite?

I like all three so, in order of preference:
Autumn
Grace
Violet

I've always liked the idea of colours for girls names, don't know why haha. So, I'm gonna say VioletGrin

Grace. Even though it's very popular, I still love it.

(Alternatively, might Hope be an option? So underused, I don't know why).

LadyWithLapdog · 24/09/2017 06:33

Grace

CakesRUs · 24/09/2017 07:21

Violet. Too many Graces.

Smoliver · 24/09/2017 07:28

All three are lovely. My order of preference is Grace, Autumn then Violet.

Redpramlady · 24/09/2017 07:28

Autumn grace

Redpramlady · 24/09/2017 07:41

They are all lovely thou. Maybe see if she suits one of them more when you see her.

EsperanzaDesperanza · 24/09/2017 07:45

Autumn. I want another baby girl just so I can name her Autumn. It's lovely.

2gorgeousboys · 24/09/2017 07:46

Violet Grace is beautiful

Crumbs1 · 24/09/2017 07:50

Violet and Grace are much nicer than Autumn unless you're a pop star or live in a commune.

Violet Grace, dislike Autumn

Shadowboy · 24/09/2017 07:58

My eldest is called Autumn- so I'm biased. It suits her as she's 'colourful' in character she was born in the Autumn suite at the hospital and on the Autumn equinox. So it really works for her. I like all of your names though so I can see why you can't decide! Grace has always sounded very sweet to me and violet makes me think of a strong child. Particularly in character.

insancerre · 24/09/2017 08:01

I work with children and have met lots of Violets and Graces
I have never met an Autumn. I like Autumn the best.

tygr · 24/09/2017 08:03

Autumn

MammieBear · 24/09/2017 08:16

You could use all three, they sound lovely together.

ChocolateCrunch · 24/09/2017 08:20

Autumn
Violet
Grace

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/09/2017 10:27

I don't like Grace as first name, but it rolls of the tongue as a mn.
If you're due in Autumn
Autumn-Grace. If not
Violet-Grace

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/09/2017 10:47

Grace

BewareOfDragons · 24/09/2017 10:50

Violet Grace

I also don't like Grace as a first name. Too religious sounding, and frankly, it sounds like a lot of pressure. What if your girl isn't graceful?

I don't like Autumn for a name, for the same reason I don't like Summer. It's a season. I find it especially odd when girls are named after seasons they aren't even born in!

PommeRouge · 24/09/2017 10:52

Violet sounds too close to 'violent' to my ear.

Not really a fan of virtue names. Being called Grace is a lot to live up to - what if she's clumsy or quick-tempered?

Autumn not really my cup of tea, but no aural confusions or possible unfortunate irony to it either.

rosareine · 24/09/2017 11:01

They're all lovely.

I think I like Autumn best.

KeiraH · 24/09/2017 11:23

Violet Grace and Autumn Grace are lovely! I am not too keen on Grace as a first name though but it works as a middle name.
