Baby due any day now, and we have settled on the first name Violet (if it's a girl), but haven't decided on a middle name.

Violet Arabella
Violet Catherine / Violet Katharine
Violet Emmeline
Violet Josephine
Violet Madeleine
Violet Matilda

And I really love Wednesday, but not sure that Violet Wednesday is great. Sad

Violet Elizabeth has a great ring to it

Violet Emmeline. I love Emmeline. It came up in a baby name thread yesterday. Unusual but great.

I like Violet Elizabeth, but there are oodles of them in my family and I don’t want to use a family name. Smile

essietopcoat that's Violet Elizabeth Bott isn't it, from Just William, who thcweams and thcweams and thcweams until she's sick.

Violet Emmeline

Ha, yeah you don’t want to go for Violet Elizabeth.

“I’ll thcweam and thcweam ‘til I’m thick!”

I think the Violet -ine sound has a nice ring to it. But Violet Emmeline sounds particularly good and it’s got that fabulous link to the suffragettes, which is a really cool thing to give your daughter.

bridgetreilly · 14/04/2018 13:12

I really like Violet Emmeline and totally agree about avoiding Violet Elizabeth Bott.

stellinaa · 14/04/2018 13:56

Violet Emmeline or Violet Arabella, love them both!

MinaPaws · 14/04/2018 14:10

LoveinTokyo - yes I love that suffragette link too. Gorgeous name with great connotations.
