Currently have an Ivy and Amelie. Which is your favourite for our third girl on the way - Skye, Violet or Sophia? Or any other ideas welcome? Due in June and finding it so hard to decide.

All three are lovely names. My personal preference is Skye, I just think it sounds beautiful, then Violet, then Sophia.

DiscoBeat · 16/03/2025 07:39

Sophia!

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those names. All really lovely, nothing too “out there” names.
Sophia will likely be shortened to Sophie/Soph as she gets older, but I don’t see that as anything bad.
Personally in my mum circle there are a few Violets at the moment, but that could just be my circle rather than indicative of everywhere.
My order of preference would be Skye first, then Sophia, then Violet- but like I say they are all really lovely names.

Firsttimebabymummy · 16/03/2025 08:28

Violet and then Sophia in that order :)

Sophia is nice. Personal favourite is Willow.

BoleynMemories13 · 16/03/2025 12:44

All 3 would go. I think you're wise to avoid another y/ie name.

Skye tends to be a bit of a marmite name, but I really like it. If you can see past the Paw Patrol character, who would be most toddler's first association with this name, it's lovely.

Sophia is ok, very popular but for a reason.

Violet is very 'of the moment', a bit like Ivy. Personally I'm not such a fan of this (it's only one letter away from violent, so I think it's the way it looks which puts me off).

Skye or Sophia would be my choice.

I dislike Violet but it seems to fit best with the other names!

Violet brings the sound of Ivy down. They are too alike to say regularly in the same sentence.
Skye is lovely and a little better than Violet.

Ivy, Amelie and Sophia sound the best to me.

Sophia

RuthW · 16/03/2025 17:31

Violet is by far the nicest

InMyMNEra · 16/03/2025 17:37

Sophia

Mumofgirls2017 · 16/03/2025 17:54

Favourite is Skye but Sophia goes better.

Emanwenym · 18/03/2025 12:47

Violet

I think Sophia goes best. Violet is nice but together with Ivy it makes Amelie seem a bit like the odd one out.

I think Violet goes best, but would it end up shortened to Vi? Or something else too close to Ivy?

sel2223 · 19/03/2025 11:00

Sophia goes beautifully with your other 2.

I'd go for something with a different ending, not 'ie' or 'y' sound

LL1991 · 19/03/2025 11:07

Violet!! I’m in love with it (39 weeks today!) but my husband isn’t keen so we’re going to have an Annabel instead.

I know 3 Sophia’s born in last 4 years, it’s pretty but definitely won’t be the only one in her class. Not keen on Skye but appreciate its all relative to you.

attaching an Instagram story I saw yesterday with some lovely names just in case this gives you any inspo. Growlittlewildflower on Instagram has some lovely ideas.
Good luck with your 3 girls 💁🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️
