A sibling for Violet

[Jessi88]

Our daughter, Violet is going to be a sister in August. What names would you suggest for her baby brother’s or sister’s name?

Ideally something that can be shortened as DH’s side of the family have given Violet a nickname that she’s referred to all the time.

Thanks in advance.

It depends, for a girl do you want to continue down the flowery route? Violet and Primrose would be lovely, with Prim for short (which is adorable IMO)

Boy names are a little harder, Joseph or George maybe?

Klaus or Sunny.

In all seriousness though, I'd say Christopher and Imogen.

I also think Amy is a lovely girls name, and not hugely popular these days. Or Ivy if continuing the flowery theme.

@Myusernameismud We’d probably keep any other floral or colour names as options for middle names instead. Primrose is on that list :)

Klaus and Sunny

Setting them up nicely for a lifetime of unfortunate events

OK, non floral Penelope/Penny? Or Florence/Flo

I think Florence goes really well with Violet

Rosalie or Elizabeth
Jacob or Elliott

Antonia (Toni), Bethany (Beth), Calista (Cally), Cassandra (Cassie), Francesca (Ches), Eliza, Tabitha (Tabi), Eleanor (El), Beatrix (Trixi), Sydney (Syd)

Aaron, Dexter (Dex), Fraser, Leonard (Leo), Xavier, Zander, Harris (Harry), Callum (Cal), Jacob (Jay), Bradley (Brad), Quinn, Russell (Russ), Sidney (Sid)

I was going to say Florence. :) I have a little Florence so I am biased. :)

Olivia? Liv for short.
Just because it has some of the same letters as Violet.

James, Henry, Toby

Phoebe, Freya, Alice

Emmeline nicknamed Emmie

Laurence nickname Laurie

My first thought was also Florence! Lots of nn - Flo/Flora/Florrie etc..
