Charlotte
Violet
Juliet
Scarlett
Colette

Please give your reasoning as well. I won't be offended if you have a harsh opinion.

Second question... how much weight do you put in other people's opinions about names? If someone told you she associated Violet with "violence" and you really liked the name, would her opinion deter you?

Thank you!

Charlotte by far!

Charlotte is my favourite. It’s beautiful and classic. The others are ok but I don’t like them nearly as much.

I don’t really care about other people’s opinions on my baby names. DH and I choose our son’s name together and didn’t ask for anyone else’s opinions. Most people had no idea what we were planning on calling him until after he was born.

I love Scarlett, Juliet & Violet, they're all feminine but strong.

Charlotte and Colette are also nice but to me Colette seems a little dated and Charlotte overused.

Juliet is beautiful.

Not Charlotte, personally I don’t think it has the same vibe as the other names on your list

How about Clara?

I love Scarlett, but I’m a Gone With The Wind fan! 😀

Juliet 100%

Rated in order:
1: Colette is a bit dated yeah but imo it’ll be seen as fresh and unique among her age group. Everything cycles back around to being cool.

2: Juliet is pretty but I hate Julie/Jools. If you’re like me, I wouldn’t use it.

3: Scarlett…I think it would be a hard name to wear if you weren’t a strong personality type, it’s quite striking. I like it but wouldn’t pick it on that basis.

4: Charlotte - another nice name but nothing stellar about it. It’s just pleasantly inoffensive. Like magnolia paint.

5: Violet - nice name but very ‘of the moment’.

Charlotte - like but there are lots of them
Violet - ok but it does look like Violent, and the 3 syllables tend to not get enunciated (Vi-uh-let, Va(r)let, Vilet, Vile-uh)
Juliet - lovely but I don't like Jools. People saying Julie-Ette would irritate me.
Scarlett - nice but not when said as Scarluh
Colette - makes me think of Colin

I'd pick Scarlett or Charlotte (cousin has a Charlotte so it's out)

Violet is the only one I like

Charlotte - elegant and classy with lovely nickname potential in Lottie

Violet - old lady name, also the violence connotations
Scarlett - pretty but has gotten a bit dated and chavvy more recently
Colette - needs to be left in the 70s/80s
Juliet - quite nice, would be my second choice but find it a bit boring and don’t like the nicknames

Charlotte

I don't like the rest

I like Charlotte and Juliet , I don’t like the others at all particularly Colette , which is awful .

Juliet is beautiful.

Love colette! So fresh

Charlotte - ok
Violet - ok
Juliet - lovely but I prefer Juliette
Scarlett - ok
Colette - not keen

Anyone that associates the name Violet with violence needs their head examined.

@DrJoanAllenby , Violet and Violent are similar in spelling. Your post seems a bit rude.

Charlotte - okay but ubiquitous and hate Lottie as a nn/Charlie is nice though
Violet - shrinking/Violet Beauregarde. Prefer Viola
Juliet - classy (although I am old enough to remember Dogtanian shrieking it)
Scarlett - okay
Colette - I like this

1. Colette

I love Violet snd Scarlett
Juliet and Charlotte are pretty

Colette doesn't fit with the others, and sound clumpy and 60s to me.

I don't put much by what other people like, or their opinions on names. there are loads of names out there that I think are awful but other people love, and it doesn't matter at all
