I love Violet and Scarlett, probably in that order.

I don't really like Aurora - it's a bit 'Sleeping Beauty' for me.

FluffyEggsontoast · 30/12/2019 15:37

Love all three
So hard to pick
Violet or Aurora ❤️

Peachbubble · 30/12/2019 15:39

Violet would be my choice

OhHolyNightWaking · 30/12/2019 15:55

Scarlett is best of a bad bunch for me.

Mumma4262 · 30/12/2019 16:02

Violet is gorgeous!

I really love Aurora but had to drop it from my shortlist in the end because I thought that, gorgeous as it is, it isn't the most sensible name to see you through your adult life. I'd go for Violet.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 30/12/2019 17:39

Violet is beautiful ❤️

Dislike Aurora, largely because it's so difficult for a young child to say.

20viona · 30/12/2019 17:41

Got to be Violet.

StanleyWalkersThirdWife · 30/12/2019 17:41

Scarlett is my favourite, then Aurora.

I would go for Scarlett Aurora as first name and middle name Smile

TatianaLarina · 30/12/2019 17:43

Violet and Aurora. Scarlett is quite naff.

Aurora is Roman goddess of the dawn. (yawn)

Spied · 30/12/2019 17:45

Love Scarlett
Violet is nice
Aurora is awful

Soffy · 30/12/2019 17:46

Violet is nice.

MikeUniformMike · 30/12/2019 17:47

Scarlett.
Violet will be Vi and as much as I like the vi editor, Violet looks too much like Violent.
Aurora is just too princessy, and is a bit cwap if you can't say

I love Scarlett. Violet is ok. Aurora is becoming less unusual. We have 3 in school now.

TatianaLarina · 30/12/2019 17:48

Violet can be Lettie/y.

Of that list, Violet is my favourite. If you do think you might choose Aurora, spend a lot of time saying it out loud. I think it looks lovely written down but sounds bloody awful in a lot of accents.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/12/2019 20:00

Love both Violet and Aurora. Not a fan of Charlotte

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/12/2019 20:00

Scarlett not Charlotte

Soawesome · 30/12/2019 21:55

Violet is lovely. Aurora is ok but a bit Disney Princess.
Scarlett is a bit naff in my view.

SebandAlice · 30/12/2019 21:57

Violet. I love the nn Vivi

Ellecrawford · 30/12/2019 23:58

I love ALL these names. If I had to go in order though it would go ..

  1. Violet
  2. Aurora
  3. Scarlett
Thenamedame · 31/12/2019 01:05

Tbh I think you'll just have to have 2 more daughters and use them all! They are not only beautiful names but make a lovely sibling set too. All the beautiful colours that come to mind 😍😍😍

DramaAlpaca · 31/12/2019 01:07

I like Violet nn Lettie, but not the others.

Honeybee85 · 31/12/2019 01:09

Violet and Scarlett are gorgeous 😍.

Aurora is nice too but it sounds a bit ‘Disney’ to me if you know what I mean.
