Looking for a sibling name help - boy and girl names.

[Siblingnamehelp]

Hi everyone,

I have a DD called Violet. I had a lot of anxiety over her name for a long time (well over a year!) - whether it was the right choice, whether it was a nice name or too harsh, the usual mumsnet thing of it being like Violence etc.

Now expecting again and looking for a sibling name that goes with Violet but nothing unusual or out there as I don’t want the same kind of anxiety over the name again. Cant be a name with an e sound at the end (for example Emily) due to our surname.

Names I like but can’t use:

• Sofia
• Olivia
• Isabelle
• Georgia
• Charlotte
• Elizabeth

• William
• Ryan
• Jack
• James

Please let me know what you think! Already very nervous about the name given the stress it caused last time.

Violet and

I actually love Violet and of DT2 had been a girl, they’d have been Violet.

I also love Georgia for a girl from your list.

For boys, you really can’t go wrong with James and William is my all time favourite name for a boy. I have regret that I didn’t use this.

Isla

Willow
Isabella

Rhys
Leighton
Lucas
Blake
Preston
Elijah
Jonah
Isaac

dont know why but the two that I think go best from your list are
Violet & Isabelle
Violet & Jack

From your options I like Georgia and James. James is my favourite boys name so that’s easy! From your girls choices, I actually like Elizabeth best, and I like them all apart from Isabelle (don’t like that spelling). But I feel like a lot of the choices are more traditional (sort of Royal) than Violet, if that matters. Georgia has a more sparky feel and somehow that fits with Violet to me.

I love a lot of the names on your list - most ( apart from Ryan) are very classic. Similar style imo (and perhaps with a slightly retro vibe like Violet) would be:

Joseph
George

Alfred
Wilfred

Samuel

Rose (if you don’t mind 2 flower names)
Iris (Ditto)
