Madison or Violet?

Thanks!

Oh dear not Madison.

Violet is a beautiful name though.

StoatOfManyColours · 11/08/2018 11:57

Violet out of those two, but I love Madeleine.

BonnieF · 11/08/2018 11:59

Madison sounds like a lap dancer.

Violet is nice, Madeleine is lovely.

Icklepup · 11/08/2018 12:03

Violet!

Cbeebiesrehab · 11/08/2018 12:05

Definitely Violet.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 11/08/2018 12:05

Violet is a beautiful, classic name.
Madison is an avenue hideous.

Please call your new DD Violet Smile

Violet 💜 Not only do I have a beautiful 18 month old with the name but I've never seen the appeal of Madison personally.

Peachbubble · 11/08/2018 12:20

Violet, 100%

Sophronia · 11/08/2018 12:38

Definitely Violet!

Really dislike the name Madison.

Violet

LeafcutterAnt · 11/08/2018 13:28

I really don't like Madison. Violet is lovely

sureitsgrand · 11/08/2018 13:31

I didn't think Madison would evoke such strong reactions. I love Madison or Maddie for short I would definitely prefer it to Violet. My taste is usually quite old fashioned. Violet is lovely but for me, it reminds me of those awful sweets!

ReginaPhalange89 · 11/08/2018 13:33

Violet is nicer, I like Madeleine too though.

FogCutter · 11/08/2018 13:36

Violet is lovely, so is madeleine.

Madison I really don't like.

17caterpillars1mouse · 11/08/2018 13:36

Violet out of the two by I much prefer Madeleine

I don't mind Madison or Violet but Violet has less negative connetations connected with it

nameinlights · 11/08/2018 13:38

Not Madison, it is very dated.

Violet is beautiful, but Madeleine is even better.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/08/2018 13:38

Violet is gorgeous. Madison just screams chav to me.

HildaOgdensFlyingDucks · 11/08/2018 13:44

Violet is a beautiful name but was vetoed by my DH for, apparently, "sounding like 'violent'." Pah! It's a gorgeous name, go with it.

Madeleine is lovely too. You were never going to get Madison past the MN jury, tho...!

Violet is pretty. As is Rose. Madison calls to mind a boxing stadium.

Branleuse · 11/08/2018 13:50

Madison is a JOKE NAME FROM SPLASH. its not a real name.
