I like the name Violet, but it does look a bit like violent.

RestingMurderousFace · 04/03/2023 14:03

I always tend to read Violet as violent. That’s a problem with my eyes though, my ears like it. 😊

I love Violet. Clare is pretty uncommon these days. Much better than the Rose/Grace/May filler middle name

Rainbowsundae · 04/03/2023 15:43

I love Violet , one of my favourite girls names.

WhisperingAutistic · 04/03/2023 15:45

Sounds good to me

Velvetbee · 04/03/2023 15:59

Very nice.

purpledalmation · 04/03/2023 16:01

Gorgeous names

QuertyGirl · 04/03/2023 16:01

A desert

PottedSprout · 04/03/2023 16:02

Lovely.

QuertyGirl · 04/03/2023 16:02

Dessert, sorry

Bert2e · 04/03/2023 16:19

Love Violet (and Violette) Clare is unusual at present but I prefer Clara as I think it is more classy and less of an era.

AllTheWatersTurnedToClouds · 04/03/2023 16:21

You spelt Claire wrong 🤣

Icecreamandapplepie · 04/03/2023 16:29

I love it

AcrobaticCardigan · 04/03/2023 16:34

I adore the name Violet, but not sure on Violet Clare. Violet is such a beautiful name, but the Clare just brings it down.

My aunt Millicent always enjoyed a Violet Clare, we bought her a box of them every birthday and Christmas. They were too sweet for me though.

daisypond · 04/03/2023 17:01

Hate Violet, sorry. Twee and mimsy, and it’s an invasive weed.
Clare or Claire is nice, perhaps a little bland, but fine.

MyOtherUsernameIsDave · 04/03/2023 17:01

Well I don’t like Violet but it sort of sounds like Eclair or vile eclair.

WingingIt101 · 04/03/2023 17:07

Love it. We just have dd2 Violet as a middle name - only because DH didn't like it enough for first name territory! Clare is very underused and lovely too.

Violet makes me think of Maggie smiths character in downton! And I think she's fab!

barca123 · 04/03/2023 17:29

Really like it - no idea what people are talking about above with eclairs 😂

RaininSummer · 04/03/2023 18:23

Love it and I don't see or hear anything about violent eclairs. All words are a little like others.

user1492757084 · 05/03/2023 00:52

I prefer Clare to Violet
Clare Violet

DramaAlpaca · 05/03/2023 01:33

I don't mind Violet Clare, but prefer Clare Violet.

LocSeeTan · 05/03/2023 01:56

My dd 's middle name is Violet. I think it's a beautiful name

mumonherphone · 05/03/2023 11:13

Love it and have never heard of a Violet éclair so don't know what the other posters are talking about!

Only thing is I would spell Claire instead of Clare

lollipoprainbow · 05/03/2023 11:29

Clare is better classier than Claire.
