Violette, Juliette or Vivienne?

Hello everyone! We are having a daughter and we need advice on the names Violette, Juliette and Vivienne, because we cannot choose. I'm open to other name suggestions as well. I'm French but I live in London so all names should preferably be French! DD1 is called Mathilde Pénélope and DS is called Théodore Louis. Middle name suggestions would also be helpful!

I love them all, French names are beautiful. Violette is my favourite. I also love Cecile, Clementine, Rosalie, Coralie, Celeste, Eloise, Sylvie.

Oh and Camille. I have a particular fondness for names starting with a C.

@CeeceeBloomingdale I love Eloise, Céleste, Camille and Clémentine! (though imo I prefer the french pronunciation of it). Sylvie would be great but it’s rather dated in France-along the lines of Karen and Linda but it’s gorgeous if you don’t live in France. The rest are all lovely names, thank you for the suggestions!

I love Juliette and like Vivienne.

Not sure about Violette. I don't like Violet because it sounds too like violent to me. But it Violette more like 'Vy-oh-let' with the stress on the last syllable rather than 'Vy-uh-lut'. I like the former better but still prefer the other two.

Violette is pronounced in French like VYAW-LEHT but I am rethinking it since many people will pronounce it like Violet which I don’t really like

Thank you everyone for the opinions! We decided to go for Vivienne Charlotte as it honours people in our family

For my DD we couldn't decide between Esme and Violet - went with Violet as a middle name.
My (imaginary) DD2 is Vivienne (NN Vivi)

Vivienne is beautiful, what about Vivienne Ophelia?

angieloumc · 06/08/2022 12:52

Sorry, saw you had decided on Vivienne Charlotte, that's really pretty.
