If it was me I would go for Elizabeth but known as Libby. But that's just me!

PlantPotting · 10/01/2020 21:09

Oh no 🙈 don’t make me choose!!

Puffykins · 10/01/2020 21:09

Violet

Puffykins · 10/01/2020 21:10

Or Eliza

7dayslater · 10/01/2020 21:12

Violet

Mumshappy · 10/01/2020 21:13

Violet

PlantPotting · 10/01/2020 21:14

Violet

B0bbin · 10/01/2020 21:15

I wanted a baby Violet but had a boy. It's my favourite name at the moment for a girl.

SexlessBoulderBelly · 10/01/2020 21:17

Violet, it was second on my list. Went with Mabel after but would have been Violet if not. Love it!

MamaDane · 10/01/2020 21:19

Eleanor
then Violet
then Elizabeth

Beasmamma · 10/01/2020 21:27

Oh that’s a tough one! I would probably say in order or preference Elizabeth, Eleanor and then Violet.

MrsJoshNavidi · 10/01/2020 21:31

Elizabeth/Beth

icecreamsundae32 · 10/01/2020 21:37

Elizabeth! Lizzie as a toddler, Beth when older... lots of choice. Also like Eleanor with Ella for short. Violet is nice too though. Good choices.

Lopsidedlumberjack · 10/01/2020 21:37

Ooh Violet a lot more popular than I expected

Still secretly hoping three will pop out so I can use all the names Grin
I suspect the future will hold lots of cats if no triplets Blush

All nice names!

I'd go for
Eleanor then
Violet then
Elizabeth- because I don't like what it will probably be shortened to - Liz, Lizzie etc.

goldenorbspider · 10/01/2020 21:41

Eleanor

TheWashingMachine · 10/01/2020 21:44

Elizabeth is top.
Eleanor is second.
Violet is dreadful.

NoSauce · 10/01/2020 22:01

Eleanor.

RickOShay · 10/01/2020 22:02

Violet

Doilooklikeatourist · 10/01/2020 22:05

I do like Elizabeth
Can you do Elizabeth Eleanor Surname

Swearwolf · 10/01/2020 22:06

Violet. Definitely not Eleanor - tiny Ellies are absolutely everywhere!

robin04031402 · 10/01/2020 22:10

I would go for Elizabeth!
Such a lovely name, easy to spell unlike Eleanor which can be spelt various ways.
I'm afraid Violet just makes me think of Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Also, think it's a harsh sounding name - somewhat like violent?
Violent Violet?

Bin85 · 10/01/2020 22:17

Just don't use Violet Elizabeth ( character in Just William books)!

champagneandfromage50 · 10/01/2020 22:20

Eleanor would be my choice out of the three
