iris or violet?

[summerba]

Stuck between these two, thanks!

100% Iris. Hate Violet

Thanks everyone! i prefer the Iris flower and like the meaning too (rainbow) but then i think Violet is also such a pretty name..

Violet

Iris 😊

Iris :)

Awwwwww, Sarah thats so adorable.

I love lambs. Theyre delicious, so innocent and pure, well like all babies.

Violet by a mile...

I don’t like the ‘vile’ sound in violet

Vi-olet not Vilet.

It's not Vilet

That’s how it would be pronounced in some parts of the Uk though

Violet

Or Viola is nice too

Oh ❤️ both beautiful names OP I love them both! I'd say violet but I'm a bit biased as that's my nieces middle name.

Have you got any middle names?

Vile- ett

Isn’t that how a lot of people pronounce it? Rather than Vio-lette

Iris but I'm biased.

Violet is 3 syllables with a schwa: Vi-O-Let. I'd not let incorrect pronunciation of the name put you off using it. Violet would be my pick but I'm biased as it'll be our daughter's first or middle name.

Who says Vi-let? It’s just wrong.

There’s a girl in my child’s school called Violet & everyone seems to pronounce it Vile-ett. Northern UK here

My DDs name. Never heard anyone say Vile-let lol

My niece is called violet so I’m slightly biased but I love it! I’d have used it if my sister hadn’t got there first!

I like both.

I live in France so I could never use Violet because it literally means the colour purple and is pronounced Vee-oh-lay.

Bear that in mind if you think you might spend any significant time in France.

But you could use Violette as in Szabo.

In France you just explain it’s pronounced as Violette rather than Violay.
