Never thought a baby name would be this hard!!! Maybe it’s because it’s the third and I’ve used up everything I like. So here we go. Rate/slate/offer suggestions.

Violet
Willow
Harlow
Blake
Aaria
Lottie

I think violet is my favourite. But I really don’t know. Any help appreciated.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
NuffSaidSam · 04/06/2020 20:11

It's quite a selection you've got there!

Violet - classic, quite popular atm

Willow - a bit 'of the moment' for me

Harlow - absolutely dreadful. Why would you name your child after an Essex town? Was she conceived there?

Blake - prefer this for a boy

Aaria - perfectly fine

Lottie - Charlotte is another classic. I don't like Lottie as a given name, too cutesy.

LockdownLucie · 04/06/2020 20:12

I dont know any either but I like the sound of Violet and the colour Violet. Maybe Willow or Harlow but don't rate the other names.

daisypond · 04/06/2020 20:14

Violet - not keen. It’s a weed. Viola is more stylish.
Willow - cat name.
Harlow - just no.
Blake - it’s a surname. Maybe ok for a boy.
Aaria - odd spelling. Aria?
Lottie - too bland. If short for Charlotte, it’d be better, but I’m not keen on that either.

Love Harlow

userabcname · 04/06/2020 20:25

Violet - I don't mind it.
Willow- love! Very pretty. My top choice.
Harlow- no, dislike, sorry.
Blake - quite cool, I like it. Kind of a different vibe to your other names but in a good way. Joint top place.
Aaria - like a lot!
Lottie - it's ok but doesn't stand out in this list.

user1493494961 · 04/06/2020 20:31

Only like Violet and Lottie, if short for Charlotte. Harlow is particularly awful.

MikeUniformMike · 04/06/2020 20:37

Violet - fine, but will be Vile-et
Willow - not my taste
Harlow - too similar to Arlo. A town in Essex? Harlot with a silent t?
Blake - I think of it as a boy's name
Aaria - no. Is it even a name?
Lottie - fine. I'd put Charlotte on BC

Dreamcatcher34 · 04/06/2020 21:02

Any other suggestions in the classic/violet theme are very welcome.

sweetnosugar · 04/06/2020 21:52

Aaria - I like the spelling Aria better.
A few suggestions -
Winnie
Marnie
Primrose

Blursula · 04/06/2020 21:53

Aaria is my fave but much prefer it with the spelling Aria.

packetandtripe · 04/06/2020 22:57

Aaria is lovely but maybe without the extra a, no need for it.

moredoll · 04/06/2020 23:04

Jane

Fishfingersandwichplease · 04/06/2020 23:32

I am no Katie Hopkins and not against people naming their kids after place names but please don't call a lovely little baby Harlow - it is a bit of a dive!!

AdaColeman · 04/06/2020 23:38

Violet is lovely.
Not keen on any of the other names.

123Dancewithme · 04/06/2020 23:47

Violet is the only nice one.

Aclh13 · 05/06/2020 02:46

Violet❔ really like but quite common now sadly
Willow❔ okay
Harlow✔️ love
Blake✔️ love think of Blake lively
Aaria ❌ not keen think of pretty little liars
