iris or violet?

[summerba]

Stuck between these two, thanks!

It would still be Vee-oh-let rather than Vy-oh-let though. It’s off my list for that reason but no reason the OP shouldn’t go for it.

Iris

I think violet is beautiful, precious for a baby girl, iris sounds like an older woman's name

thanks everyone, middle name is most likely going to be Adeline, think Iris might flow better with it?

Don’t like Adeline.

Violet Iris is beautiful.

Or Iris Violet I meant to say. I’d ditch Adeline personally.

i think Violet Iris / Iris Violet might be a bit too purple / flowery. Would prefer to use Adeline as middle name as i love it x

Iris Adeline ......

My mum's name was 'Iris' and her mother's name was 'Adelia'

so not far off ....!

I love Iris Adeline! I hate Violet, it just seems a very weak name.

I like both, but I think I like Iris slightly better.

Not keen on either, especially Iris. It's the coloured part of the eye. Violet is like violent and Vi as a nickname? No! Sorry! If you love them, you use them though!

Iris was in the final top two for our daughter’s name, so I really love it. Violet was top 10. However since then I’ve met a gorgeous little Violet and I think I prefer it now! I love how it has a subtle three syllables, whereas Iris has only two. Violet feels like it has a bit more depth and shape as a word. (Iyswim!) So pretty.

I prefer Iris to Violet. Violets are small, invasive weeds that wreck your lawn, and it has a "vile" or "violent" sound to it. At least an iris is a decent flower.

Violet as I know quite a few little Iris’s
