Sophia Violet x

WorkinMumsince4ever · 18/05/2023 23:26

Lovely names! I’d go for the first option. Lily rhymes with almost anything. Great name for songs 😅

fairycupcakes · 19/05/2023 00:19

Sophia Lily! I reallly dislike Violet - I just see and hear Violent x

Tellmeimcrazy · 19/05/2023 00:20

I love the name Violet.

Lily is nice but it's a bit meh.

Barleysugar86 · 19/05/2023 00:23

Sophia Violet. Sophia and Lily are both very popular at the moment so I feel it would give her a bit of a more unique name.

Theoldwoman · 19/05/2023 00:38

Lily. Violet is too much like violent to me.

Elspethelf · 19/05/2023 04:06

Sophia Violet. I like that it isn’t two names ending in a vowel sound

middlenamestuck · 19/05/2023 04:08

Thank you so much everyone for your responses - it's so interesting how mixed they are, I feel exactly the same for the same reasons!!

Sophia Lily!

Sophia Lily is better.
Though I prefer Sophie Lila.

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/05/2023 07:03

Sophia Lily. Not keen on Violet for the same reasons as others have mentioned.

DustyLee123 · 19/05/2023 07:04

Sophia Lily.

Sophia Violet flows better. Lovely names

Coronationstation · 19/05/2023 07:50

I think Sophia Lily flows better. The “ph” and “v” dont work so well for me.

octoberfarm · 19/05/2023 08:09

Sophia Lily - it sounds lovely and flow better, I think.

loveisstrange · 19/05/2023 08:13

Sophia violet without a doubt, sounds beautiful!

PickledScrump · 19/05/2023 09:06

Sophia Lily is beautiful and flows really nicely. Sophia Violet sounds harsh and clunky.

middlenamestuck · 19/05/2023 09:43

Thanks so much everyone for your help!! We’ve decided to go for Sophia Lily 😃

Lily and Violet are both lovely names but I think Sophia Violet definitely sounds the best with the names put together, so I'd pick that one

Thanks so much everyone for your help!! We’ve decided to go for Sophia Lily 😃

Beautiful, great choice xx

ourflagmeansdeath · 19/05/2023 18:02

Yes Sophia Lily is much nicer. Lovely choice 😊

JumbleJo · 19/05/2023 18:18

Love both but Violet edges it for me! Just a bit more to it.
