Boys name to go with Violet

48 replies

Creamcrackeredx · 06/12/2018 23:07

I’m struggling to find any boys names that I don’t hate. Girls names are so much easier!
I already have a daughter called Violet, any suggestions for a boy??
So far my long list is
Stanley
Wilfred
Douglas
Luca
Leon
Frederick
Ellis
Brodie

Violet and Douglas is lovely.

I know a Vincent and violet!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/12/2018 23:17

Id Scratch Brodie and Ellis for a start. You need another classic name.
Douglas is a good name with Violet
Also like PPs suggestion of William.
Other ideas
Arthur. Ben. Thomas. Alexander. Matthew. Henry. James. Nicholas.
Maurice. Christopher. Andrew. Edward. Peter.

Thanks, I like Thomas. Middle name will most likely be Peter or Joseph after my dad.

Why do names have to "go" with another name?

Thanks there’s some lovely suggestions here. Alfie190, you’re right names don’t necessarily need to go together, I suppose it just gives an idea of the sort of names I prefer.

Stanley and Violet work well together.

I’m not keen on Brodie or Ellis.

Love Wilfred and it’s on my list. I know someone with a Violet and Herbie - I like something a bit retro with Violet!
