Edie or Violet

[annielovesapples]

Love both but can't decide!

Edie is nice and not commonly used.
Lots of people will probably come on and say Violet is too similar sounding to violence.
Depends if you like Vi as a shortened version perhaps?

I love Violet.

I have two boys but Violet was my choice for a girl.

Tbh I don't like neither

Violet is much nicer

Hi like Vi or not so much V
Ha, the Violent thing makes me laugh

Can you say which one you prefer and your two top names (for a girl)

Violet. 100%

My 14 year old is called Evie Violet. So to me Edie Violet together sounds nice

I prefer Edie! Personally not a fan of Violet, though not entirely sure why.

I know quite a few Edie’s (there are two at my child’s nursery), and I think it’s a nice name, but a bit dull. Violet is ok, I’ve never met one, it makes me think of Willy Wonka.

I love both but would have Edith as a full name and Edie for short.

I love Violet-think it is very pretty.

I think Edie doesn't sound nice to say-not for me

Violet is better. There’s so many Edie/Edith’s

I'm not too keen on flower names but I love Edie.

Violet was our first choice for a girl but Edie is also nice (I am torn as I usually prefer full names rather than nicknames) though Edie is prettier than Edith.

Edie

Edie, much nicer. Don't think it's as common as the endless numbers of Eve, Evie, Evelyn while I've known a lot of baby Violet's recently.

Violet.

The ones I know are called Violet, Vee, Vivi and Lettie. Never Vi or Violent

My little girl is called Edie Marie and I absolutely love it. Couldn’t imagine her being called anything else 😊

I agree with this

Not a massive Violet fan but I prefer it to Edie.

I really like Violet. Edie is ok but I'm not overkeen on it. Don't like Edith very much either. But they are perfectly acceptable names.

Not a fan of either, but prefer Edie as Violet sounds like violent, which I know is daft, but I just can't get past it!

Eden, with Edie for short (Edie is nice but not a full name, Edith is too old lady).

Viola nicer than Violet.

Love both but I'm slightly biased as I have a DD called Violet. I like Edie a lot but not as a nickname for Edith, just Edie.
