Hi everyone, so i think these are my final two girl name choices:
Summer or Violet.
Which one do you prefer and why? TIA!

I prefer Summer, it's very pretty. Violet reminds me of Violent.

WisestIsShe · 06/05/2018 16:31

Violet for me

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/05/2018 16:31

Violet. I can't say why I prefer it though.
However Summer is still very pretty and if you can't decide between the 2. I'd go with Summer as a first name and Violet as mn as it goes, lovely wereas Violet Summer doesn't really roll off the tongue.

WisestIsShe · 06/05/2018 16:32

Oh, I was supposed to say why. Violet because it's pretty and classic and not over used. Summer is a bit hippie ish in my mind. Not sure why.

thefishwhocouldwish · 06/05/2018 16:39

Summer, but only if she's a summer baby. My mum has a January birthday and she's called June!

Violet! Summer isn’t that nice I don’t think, a bit common sounding

Mannix · 06/05/2018 16:42

Summer. Like a pp, Violet makes me think of violent.

cosytoaster · 06/05/2018 16:46

Violet is lovely. To me Summer doesn't sound like a proper name.

Sophronia · 06/05/2018 16:48

Violet

happyfabbbo · 06/05/2018 16:51

was considering Summer with Violet as the middle name as suggestedSmile

Violet.

userabcname · 06/05/2018 16:53

Violet. It's a pretty name and more unusual than Summer (in my area anyway - appreciate this varies regionally).

MrsMozart · 06/05/2018 16:53

Summer Violet is nice.

However, if she doesn't have a sunny disposition then it's going to be painful for her.

blueskyinmarch · 06/05/2018 16:53

Summer Violet sounds like the name of a species of flower.

GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo · 06/05/2018 17:00

Summer, but only if she's born in the summer. I also can't shake the violet/violent connection.

teachergirl2011 · 06/05/2018 17:00

Summer! Violet sounds like violent

RoundaboutSnail · 06/05/2018 18:41

I like both but prefer Summer.

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 06/05/2018 18:42

prefer Violet

MollyCule · 06/05/2018 18:42

I prefer Violet. I think Summer is nice but possibly one of those names that's harder to carry off as an adult.

blairsey · 07/05/2018 07:21

Summer, though only if she is born in summer. It's a little tacky otherwise.

Belindabauer · 07/05/2018 07:24

Violet.
I don't think Summer Violet works at all.
