Violet? Due a girl in a few weeks, always loved this name and had it for DS

I really like it. Know a little one, very sweet.

Whatsyourflava · 07/08/2020 13:26

Adore it

CuppaZa · 07/08/2020 13:27

I love it

MikeUniformMike · 07/08/2020 13:31

Very nice. Only things I don't like about it is that it looks like Violent, and people say Vilet

Twizbe · 07/08/2020 13:36

It was my grandma's name. Always makes me think of her :)

HappyDinosaur · 07/08/2020 13:37

I think it's very pretty.

OverTheRainbow88 · 07/08/2020 13:38

I love it, very sweet!

I would think about the accent though where you live. We’re West Country so it’s pronounced quite harsh here!

Pemba · 07/08/2020 13:41

Prefer Viola really

Spidey66 · 07/08/2020 13:47

My niece's name. Wasn't sure at the time, but it's grown on me.

espressoontap · 07/08/2020 13:51

We are in North West England, so it doesn't sound harsh. I'm very taken with it and had it for years, I can't quite imagine naming her something else.

DH likes it, too. He also likes Kiera. Gosh it's hard naming them Smile

That's how I felt about my baby's name. That's a definite sign you've found the right name

Cam2020 · 07/08/2020 13:56

I love it - beautiful name.

OLGADEEPOLGA · 07/08/2020 14:04

Beautiful name

SparkyBlue · 07/08/2020 14:05

It's beautiful. A really lovely classic name

20viona · 07/08/2020 14:06

Love it, it's my daughters middle name.

AcrobaticCardigan · 07/08/2020 14:12

I think it’s a gorgeous name. Really lovely.

daisypond · 07/08/2020 15:15

I really don’t like it, but it’s fairly popular on here. A violet is a small intrusive weed to me, nothing I’d want my daughter to aspire to.

sausagefest9 · 07/08/2020 15:27

I love it....

I had Violetta on my shortlist for my daughter

whichteaareyou · 07/08/2020 16:13

Loooove this name

ButterflyRuns · 07/08/2020 16:15

Viola is very cute. Kiera much better spelt as Keira in my opinion.

Peachbubble · 07/08/2020 16:15

One of my favourites

IndiaMay · 07/08/2020 16:16

Love it but getting more and more popular

Rachel247 · 07/08/2020 16:16

I prefer Viola. It sounds prettier and less like violent. In fact Violet and Violent are just one letter away.

AdaColeman · 07/08/2020 16:16

It's a lovely name!

DOINGOURBIT · 07/08/2020 16:18

I didn't like it years back, thought it sounded a bit old lady-ish, but with colours - Jade, Amber, Scarlet, Ruby,, Sienna, Coral, etc - being popular with family and friends, yes, I've changed my mind. Violet's grown on me, I do like it. -**
