Which one do you prefer?
I love vintage 'old lady' names!
Thanks

I much prefer Ada Violet

pimlicoanna · 20/10/2022 10:05

Ada's great. I think Annie's dreadful

Workawayxx · 20/10/2022 10:08

I prefer Annie, very sweet and I don’t know any. I know a few Ada’s and similar to Ava which is popular.

JamSandle · 20/10/2022 10:08

Ada Violet

HiKelsey · 20/10/2022 10:09

Someone I know has a Ada Violet and she perfectly suits her name. She's a lovely little girl

WaltzingWaters · 20/10/2022 10:10

Ada Violet is lovely.
I don’t really think Annie and Violet flow together so we’ll.

SatinHeart · 20/10/2022 10:11

Ada goes much better with Violet

Mischance · 20/10/2022 10:11

It is intriguing how names come round again - I had a gang of Victorian-style great aunts called Ethel, Annie, Ada, Agatha etc. and these names make me think of white hair and walking sticks!

NellietheNumpty · 20/10/2022 10:15

Violet Ada

S25 · 20/10/2022 11:21

Ada goes better with Violet but I prefer Annie!

DuchessOfSausage · 20/10/2022 12:14

Annie. Middle names don't get used much. not keen on Ada.

SirenSays · 20/10/2022 12:17

Annie Violet sounds like the main character in a children's book. Love it.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 20/10/2022 12:23

I like Annie and Ada, but maybe adding Violet is a bit much? I'm thinking of the Lovelock sisters (Ada, Bertha and Violet) from the Thrush Green books.

Maybe one old lady name and one more timeless one?

violetcuriosity · 20/10/2022 12:25

I have an Ava Violet 🌸

Rosegeranium · 20/10/2022 12:28

Depends on whether you are bothered if the name is fairly popular or not. I know a LOT of Under 5s called Ada. 5 at the last count. Annie is nice. It was my great grandmother’s name so def has the grandmother vibe for me.

Hatscats · 20/10/2022 15:36

Ada

i like Anna but not as keen on Annie!

Eunoia · 20/10/2022 15:43

Annabelle Violet is much nicer, and you can use Annie as a NN.

But out of the two options I'd say Ada Violet.

Gruelle · 20/10/2022 15:47

Violet Adele …

Don’t think either of your choices work well together.

mathanxiety · 20/10/2022 15:51

Annie by a country mile.

It's an old lady name but it's not faddish like Ada. It's more of a classic.

justanotherlaura · 20/10/2022 16:05

Ada short for Adaline I think is really pretty, I'd love to have Ada but I have a niece called Ava

KangarooKenny · 20/10/2022 16:06

Ada

Cas112 · 20/10/2022 16:08

Ada is lovely! Annie is fine, too.
