I’ve gone off all my girls names!!

[Wagenwagen]

Sibling for Violet.

had a shortlist we were happy with but now unsure

Sophie
Alice
Juliet

I think the et for Juliet and Violet is too much. I’ve been put off the other two after hearing some people discuss them and they seem to be super popular in our area ‘no not that Sophie, Sophie you know the one who lives in X no not the one who lives in Y etc’

I am at a bit of a loss now. We can’t do

• any names ending in -y sound due to surname (so Emily Natalie etc)
• Charlotte Isabelle Eva Lily Rose Elizabeth Emma Anna as these are cousins names
• any names with same initial or any plant names/nature names due to using Violet already as I think it would be a bit much

help!

Sofia/Sophia instead of Sophie?
Emilia or Amelia
Clara
Beatrice
Georgia/Giorgia or Georgina
Rowena or Rowan
Robyn

Florence
Katharine/Kathryn/Catherine/Katrina etc
Imogen
Xanthe
Alexandra
Suzanna/Susannah

Alice is my favourite girl’s name so I’d choose that.

I also really like the previous suggestions of Clara, Imogen or Florence.

Or

Eliza
Eloise
Georgia
Mabel
Amber
Lila
Layla
Freya
Martha
Lydia
Ava
Cora
Jessica
Madeleine

Violet is lovely.

I think Alice goes very well.
I do really like Juliet but agree the two 'et' sounds are a bit much, but I'd still use if you love the name

I'd also suggest
Hazel
Dorothy
Olivia
Amelia

Annabelle
beatrix
florence
clara
eloise
margot
grace
esther
martha
tabitha

Names on my list are (and the one I've picked is there too)

• Lily
• Florence
• Lydia
• Lyra
• Delilah
• Ivy
• Eve
• Wren
• Harriet
• Elodie
• Ella
• Cora

Another favourite in Alice!
I don't like Juliet, it feels like a lot of name for a small baby and I can see where you're coming from with Sophie!
Violet and Clara
Violet and Ada
Violet and Nina
Violet and Zara
Violet and Bella (unless Isobelle gets shortened to Bella?)
Violet and Tessa
Violet and Leah
Violet and Stella
Violet and Lydia

Violet and Alice sound lovely together.

Violet and Matilda
Violet and Evangeline
Violet and Clementin

My niece is Violet.

Her friends are Millie, Connie, Iris and Phoebe.

They all sound 'right' with Violet.

I love Alice and wouldn’t give a hoot on popularity.

Suggestions:

Ella
Laura
Amelia
Freya
Zara
Erin
Cora
Genevieve

Some beautiful names on here, and as some of them are the names of my daughters, we're clearly on the same wavelength. The ones that sprang to mind are:

Evelyn
Elodie
Clementine
Clara
Clemency
Claudia
Eliza
Scarlett
Aurelia
Bella
Niamh
Helena
Jenna
Martha
Bronte
Isla

Oooh, and Estelle
Vivienne (Vivi) - goes gorgeously with Violet

Anna
Imogen
Emma

Love Alice and think it sounds lovely with Violet.

I know you said no nature names but Hazel was the first name to spring to mind to pair with Violet! It’s not a colour or a flower so not too samey?

What about Tatiana, Anastasia, Celeste, Estelle or Cassia?

I’d pair an equally strong name with Violet - another poster has suggested Delilah which I think is fantastic.

Violet and Delilah - the name holds it own.

V similar short list to ours - from a while back!

Others on our list were
Iris
Stella
Erin
Annabel
Robyn

Madeleine
Cecilia
Julia
Lydia
Lynette
Miranda
Thalia
Willa
Ottilie
Frances
Laura
Annabelle
Morwenna
Maeve
Elowen
Helena
Aurelia
Imogen
Tressa
Beatrice
Antonia

Vivienne
Margot
Beatrix or Beatrice
Verity

Julia or Olivia instead of Juliet?
I like Sophie and Alice. Alice seems the obvious choice.

I'd avoid something like Delilah because I don't like it they'l lbe Vila and Lila.

PP’s suggestion of Hazel is perfect! Two strong feminine names that flow well together without being matchy matchy.

Flora
Madelena
Rebecca
Laura
Freya
Delphine

Violet and Vivienne would be Vi and Vivi.

I have two girls who both have a first and middle name.

three of the four are on this list!

We have absolutely the same taste @Mumofgirls2017

I love Alice out of your choices.

Beatrice and Florence are also lovely.
Clementine or Clara.

I think Alice is a lovely name

How about Alicia to make it a bit different?
Likewise Sophia instead of Sophie

Violet and Lydia sound nice too
