I have 1 dd already called Lila (lie-la) and 100% set on Violet for the upcoming dd! Is this a good pair?

Mmmm I think it’s a bit of a mouthful

ooonicorn · 29/05/2019 08:51

I love it

newnewname19 · 29/05/2019 09:01

Beautiful names!

HelloooCanYouHearMe · 29/05/2019 09:03

Sounds fine to me

Aerynne · 29/05/2019 09:08

They go together beautifully.
Both of those were a potential, among others, for my little girl but my partner wasn't so keen :'(

I don't really think that sibling names need to match particularly, but if you're concerned about it, I don't really think Lila and Violet do. Lila is a very modern name, whereas Violet is an old-fashioned name returning to popularity.

I think there fine together.

tdam · 29/05/2019 13:54

I think they're nice together. Love Violet especially!

goldensugar2 · 29/05/2019 13:58

They sound quite similar actually.

Stephanie01 · 30/05/2019 10:51

They're perfect! Don't ogwrthibk it too much. Beautiful names and sound lovely together. LOVE Violet!

I wouldn't sorry, saying them both together is a tongue twister

Antonin · 30/05/2019 10:58

I feel that there would be a temptation for one’s tongue to skip over the O in Violet and to pronounce it Vilet, if you see what I mean.

Icklepup · 30/05/2019 20:00

They sound so similar..
Lie-la, Vi-la...t

DramaAlpaca · 30/05/2019 23:20

They are fine together as long as you pronounce Violet with three syllables - Vi-o-let. If you say it Vi-let, as a lot of people do, it's too similar to Lila.

AmyMaria2 · 31/05/2019 13:23

I don't think they go very well, sorry.

MikeUniformMike · 01/06/2019 19:23

Lie-luh and Vie-lut

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 02/06/2019 08:36

Love Violet

Happyandglorious · 02/06/2019 11:00

I think they sound lovely together
