I love Violet, Delilah and Flora. Have you also thought of Daphne or Persephone?

Scutterbug · 27/02/2025 23:27

Lovely names.

user1492757084 · 27/02/2025 23:30

I like Indigo and Flora best for second names.
The others are not my faves.

Do you like Adele, Laura, Dulcie or Lila?

Moreteaandchocolate · 28/02/2025 00:07

I love Violet and Flora, and quite like Delilah (mostly for its nn potential - Lilah / Della). Indigo is ok - I like Indi a lot. Ivory is not for me - I like the sound but it’s a word not a name to me.

Ideas - Emery, Avery, Ellery, Iris, Frida, Ingrid, Heidi, Lorelei, Eliza, Twyla

Flora is one of my all time favourite names.

SophiaBrown · 28/02/2025 04:27

I love the name Violet!

Nonameyet1 · 28/02/2025 06:38

Violet - delightful name
Delilah - pretty
Flora - pretty
Ivory - haven't heard anyone called this but if you wanted the uniqueness go for it.
Indigo - for me, Indigo is a colour but really like Indie

Really beautiful names.

Violet - gets said as 'varlet' here.
Delilah - why why why? Lots of Lilas.
Flora - lovely
Ivory - tusk
Indigo - dye

SallyWD · 28/02/2025 07:23

Violet

Same and I also thought of Daphne, also Josephine.

TattedBarley · 28/02/2025 07:27

If I had another daughter I would name her Violet - it was on my list of names for my first!

Mumofgirls2017 · 28/02/2025 08:25

Love Delilah and flora 😊

Nicolathecat · 28/02/2025 11:33

All of your names are lovely, but for Ivory one train of thought goes to colonialism/elephant tusks

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 28/02/2025 11:38

Flora

QueenMummyTheFirst · 28/02/2025 12:27

Flora and Delilah were also our two main choices. Both gorgeous names and I havent heard many others round here. I also LOVED Ursula and Vivienne, but they were both vetoed 😔.

QueenMummyTheFirst · 28/02/2025 12:28

Violet is the main character in the incredibly popular Fourth Wing books out right now, so there might be a few little Violets over the next few years?

RogueFemale · 28/02/2025 12:53

Violet - like
Delilah - dislike
Flora - dislike, makes me think of a dull goody-goody, dunno why
Ivory - dislike, makes me think of illegal ivory trade and killing of elephants
Indigo - like, but to me it sounds like a boy's name (how about India?)

As you like colour/plant names, how about Scarlett, Lilac, Emerald, Saffron, Plum, Peaches, Pepper, Apple

katseyes7 · 28/02/2025 12:56

I love Violet.
One of my friends has a little one called Indigo, but she gets called Indie.

sumsitupreally · 28/02/2025 16:53

From suggestions I also like Daphne, Persephone, Dulcie, Lila, Vivienne, Emerald, Pepper

I think Violet or Indigo are number one at the moment though

Flora, Indigo or Persephone

shoopshoopdedoo · 28/02/2025 19:43

Violet - OK, but I don’t like it personally
Delilah - nice
Flora - nice
Ivory - elephants
Indigo - dislike

I love Persephone and Daphne and like Lila

QuestPip · 28/02/2025 23:10

I have a 10yr old Delilah, I still love the name and O only know another 4 yr old with the same name. As a baby we called her Dee Dee (dont like Lilah) but now she only wants to be called Delilah.

Enko · 28/02/2025 23:14

Love love Flora but doesn't work with pur surname. Its my one name that got away.

Rainbow1235 · 28/02/2025 23:23
