Violet's sister is called...?

[pigglepot]

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)

Iris is lovely!

Marianne
Pearl
Lydia
Sadie
Georgie
Willow
Nina

Clementine
Constance
Serena
Rosalyn
Tessa

What about:
Clara
Florence
Eliza
Matilda
Iris
Ivy

I would avoid Esme for the pronunciation reasons you give.

More modern names like...

Violet and Piper?
Violet and Teddy (short for Theodora)
Violet and Lyra
Violet and Coco
Violet and Harper
Violet and Juno
Violet and Manon
Violet and Kitty

Iris was the name that immediately sprung to mind.

Also
Clementine
Isabella
Hattie
Maggie
Agnes
Flora
Tabitha
Josephine

I've got a fascination for z names atm so
Violet and Zinnia/ Zoe/ Zara/Zadie sound great to me! Also love Iris.

Violet and Cecily or Cecilia nn Cici

Violet and Heather sound lovely together.

I love the sound of violet and Imogen together as suggested by someone else.

How about Hazel? Another nature name that is not too twee

All the names on your list are old fashioned! An old fashioned name will sound best. Iris and Audrey sound sweet.

Oops, just realised Iris is already on your list! Joy or Faith?

That's weird, Esme was the first name to enter my head when I saw your thread title! Violet and Esme, sound lovely together. I have a Bobbie, so I like that too.

Esme is lovely I have to say- it's short and pretty. But I do worry about pronounciation! I love Bobbie- does your Bobbie have a longer name or is she just Bobbie? Always reminds me of the Railway Children which is definitely a good thing!

Coco and Kitty were on my list last time but I struggle to find a long name they are short for that I love. Teddy is cute for a girl too but it's in my top 2 boys names so I think I'll save that for if we have another one in the future and he happens to be a boy!
