Edie.

Another vote for Violet

Violet is really pretty.

Would she be called Edith with nn Edie? I like Violet but not nn her friends will probably use when she gets to school such as Vi.

Edie

What about Violet for first name and Edie for middle? Both are gorgeous.

Edie looks like a nickname for Edward or Ed

Violet looks like a girl's name and a flower

Violet
Edie doesn't sound very nice to me

Both are lovely. Do either of them go better with your surname?

Edie then violet. X

I love love love Violet

What about Edie Violet? I do prefer Edie to Violet but it is more nicknamey so maybe Edith Violet? Lovely, strong and classic sounding name. Congrats @lastminutelady x

Edith nn Edie

Or Violet if you don't like Edith as a full name.

@Gummibär

It's short for Edith - Ee-dee - it's enormously popular as both full name and diminutive.

Violet.

Violet by far! Lovely, easily known, pronounced and spelt.

I read Edie as Eddy. Is it pronounced EEedee or some other way? Sorry, never seen it before for a girl?

Love Violet. Edie can also be short for Editha and can be spelt Eadie.

I always read Violet as violent.
Doesn't help that the one I know was pretty violent, unfortunately.
Vi is a horrible short version.
Edie is lovely though.

I know both in kids under 5. I love both too!
I lean towards Edie though as I find Violet a bit cumbersome to say (Vi-o-let vs Vye-let).
