We've just found out we are having another girl and I am totally stumped on girls names! I was certain I was having a boy and had the name all picked out!!

Could you help me with name suggestions to go with Violet? I don't want anything old fashioned again so I would like something with more of a modern sound. A few on my list but I'm not sold on are:

Honor (husband hates this)
Amelie (a new addition- maybe too similar to Emily? I've got an Emily in the family)
Iris (not sure about another flower)
Esme (love this but I would pronounce it Ez-me and I think everyone else says Ez-may)
Winnie/Bobbie/Billie (like these but don't love the long versions of the names)

Rebecca

Felicity
Annabel - or Just Anna
Hannah
Rebecca
Elspeth
Lucy

All good 'middle of the road' names, not old or too modern

was thinking Elizabeth/ Eliza but my mind went Violet ...Elizabeth ....Bott - not a good idea

I like Florence too - my Granny's name. She was called Flo or Florrie for short.

Others I think go well:
Arial
Alice
Elodie
Amber
Iris
Ava
Meriel

The colour theme sounds lovely and I do think Scarlett works with Violet - but then Scarlett is an old nickname for Charlotte. (And then you could have a Lettie and Lottie)

Or flower/plant theme

Ffion - Welsh for Foxglove
Willow
Primrose
Flora
Fleur
Jonquil
Hyacinth (or too "Keeping up appearances"?)
