Violet's middle name?

[EffieP]

I love Felicity; I think it's similar in style to Violet and has a sweet meaning but hubby prefers the name Ottilie. Ottilie is lovely but I don't think it fits well with Violet as there are too many L and T sounds in them both. WDYT?

I'd appreciate any suggestions you have too! We are having a tough time trying to find the right middle name! Thanks.

I think you need to go for a simpler middle name. Perhaps something more traditional. I like Felicity too, but it strikes me more as a first name.

Violet Ann/Anne
Violet Elizabeth
Violet Mary
Violet Katharine/Catherine/Kathryn
Violet Jane

Depends on your surname. If it begins with M than I wouldn’t have a middle name beginning with an O.

Sorry, I don't think Felicity or Ottilie work well alongside Violet. Too many T sounds. Some suggestions that I think sound lovely are:
Violet Adeline
Violet Caroline
Violet Cordelia
Violet Evangeline
Violet Elizabeth
Violet Elise
Violet Grace
Violet Isabelle
Violet Penelope
Violet Seraphina

I think Felicity is a million times nicer than Ottilie. And it flows better with Violet. I think Violet Felicity is perhaps on the long side, but perfectly OK. Or you could have Joy as a middle name, which is simpler but means the same thing really.

Agree that Violet Felcity flows better than Violet Ottilie.

Violet Rebecca
Violet Alice
Violet Imogen
Violet Audrey
Violet Maria
Violet Annabel
Violet Cordelia
Violet Penelope
Violet Cecily
Violet Ramona
Violet Chloe
Violet Susannah
Violet Clara
Violet Sophia
Violet Catherine
Violet Emily
Violet Isobel
Violet Lucy
Violet Helena
Violet Olivia
Violet Ruth
Violet Victoria
Violet Evelyn

I'd prefer to stay away from middle names like Rose, Anne, Grace, etc especially as Violet's popularity seems to be on the rise. Our surname is short so a longer middle name can work. It begins with a R but I agree we need to be careful of initials if using a middle beginning with a vowel lol. Thanks for your replies so far.

Well, Violet Elizabeth of course..

Yeah, I think Elizabeth is out! ^^

I know it feels like a big consideration when you are naming someone, but on the U.K. the middle name will never be known to anyone outside the close family.
It Italy it legally forms part of the signature.

Violet Felicity is nicer imo.

Is there any family members like sisters you could use as a middle name, my 3 DDs all have mine or DHs family members as middle names so all have a similar classic feel to them even though they have modern first name. Middle names used are Rebecca, Molly and Rachel

Violet Felicity is great, go for it!

I THINK Violet Ottilie sounds far too harsh

Violet Aurora
Violet Sofia
Violet Francine
Violet Grace
Violet Maude
Violet Lucinda
Violet Jane

I agree ^^ Violet ends in a sharp T sound which doesn't work with Ottilie. I think Felicity works because it's soft and sweet and even though it has got a T sound to it, they're different in sound and it's not so harsh sounding in Felicity.

Violet is a family name, Ella. It's my husband's grandma who he was very close to and sadly lost as a teen. It was the obvious choice seeing as I've always liked the name too. I think it would be nice for her to have a non family middle name especially as most of us all have the same family names as a middle on my side of the family lol.

I like Violet Marie

Violet Emma
Violet Blythe
Violet Joy
Violet Demelza
Violet Rosanne
Violet Faye
Violet Rachel
Violet Ruth

I like short sharp two syllable names with Violet, Marie was on our list of 3, went with Suzy in the end but wish I had chosen Susan actually.

Violet Primrose
Violet Josephine

I like Violet Felicity.

Violet Coralie
Violet Emily
Violet Susannah
Violet Clementine
Violet Amelia
Violet Octavia
Violet Isobel
Violet Christina
Violet Meredith
Violet Rachel

Violet Felicity is lovely.

You could also consider:
Violet Rosemary
Violet Elinor
Violet Marianne
Violet Evangeline
Violet Arabella
Violet Penelope

I just wanted to say thank you for all the suggestions so far. We seem to have gotten mixed feedback on Violet Felicity but I think most agree that Ottilie is too much so I can at least tell hubby that others agree with me on that point lol.

I agree about Ottilie. Prefer Felicia to Felicity.

Violet Beatrice
Violet Cosima
Violet Gwendolen
Violet Cecilia

Felicia just reminds me of "Bye Felicia" I like Beatrice and Cecilia. Thank you ^^

I love Violet Felicity! It’s gorgeous :)

I wanted to call our little girl Violet Elodie :)
