All nice.

I couldn't choose Reeva, because the only one I know is Reeva Steenkamp.
Wouldn't want my kid to be associated with such a tragedy by me or others.

Moonshine11 · 02/06/2021 18:49

I like them all!
If I had to choose for my DC, Violet

PeskyRooks · 02/06/2021 18:50

I like Violet best
then Imogen
then Maya (the bee! )
not keen on Reeva

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 02/06/2021 18:50

Maya I think.

I’m not keen on Violet as I dislike the colour and it is too similar to violent visually.

Imogen is so often shortened to Imo which I really dislike.

Reeva - same as above poster.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/06/2021 18:51

Maya, then Violet and Imogen. All nice.
Not Reeva.

PuffItsGone · 02/06/2021 18:52

Violet or Imogen. Reeva same as above posters, my first thought was of Steenkamp

VerbenaGirl · 02/06/2021 18:52

Maya is lovely

HoldingTheDoor · 02/06/2021 18:52

Violet or Imogen.

ISolemnlySwearIAmUpToNoGood · 02/06/2021 18:53

I like Violet and Imogen but Maya is my favourite from your list

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 02/06/2021 18:54

I like Reeva most. Someone I follow on instagram had a baby called Reeva and i thought of reeva steenkamp straight away but after a few days I didnt make the association anymore. I think it's something people would quickly get over/forget.

Violet is nice but depends on your accent I think!

Maya and imogen are ok

OnSilverStars · 02/06/2021 18:55

I feel like spelling it Maya (pronounced My-a by everyone else) but having to correct people every time (It's May-a) is just unnecessary.

AnyaMoondial · 02/06/2021 18:56

Violet

RestingStitchFace · 02/06/2021 18:56

Violet is my fave.

IsThePopeCatholic · 02/06/2021 18:56

Imogen then violet. Not the other 2.

pilates · 02/06/2021 18:57

Imogen
Violet
Maya
Don’t like Reeva

MissingTheMoonlight · 02/06/2021 18:57

Violet and Imogen. Both very pretty. I think Imogen is less common

Aquamarine1029 · 02/06/2021 18:58

My aunt's name is Reeva, but it's spelled Reva.

LottieDot · 02/06/2021 18:59

I love Maya, it would be a top choice for me but I think it will be pronounced My a which is a shame!

MarshaBradyo · 02/06/2021 19:00

Violet favourite

Reeva least favourite

partyatthepalace · 02/06/2021 19:03

Like Violet and Imogen - would just chose what goes best with your surname.

Reeva I think is nothingy, and May-ah will blur with the very many Mia/Maya/Maia/Myas with about 3 different pronunciations.

KirstenBlest · 02/06/2021 19:04

Not mad keen on any of them, but Violet and Imogen are ok, not keen on Vi or Immy.

Maya - so many similar names and will be 'Maya spelt M A Y A'.

Reeva - ok but tragic murder victim

DotDotDotDotDot · 02/06/2021 19:19

I love Violet, so lovely. Imogen is nice too. Maya/Maia/Mia/Mya are all very overused in my area, you’d have to be laid back about different pronunciations if you choose this. Not keen on Reeva, sorry I also strongly associate it with Reeva Steenkamp. Good luck.

MushroomQueen · 02/06/2021 19:37

Imogen and violet

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 02/06/2021 19:42

Csx99 · 02/06/2021 19:42
