Well there's always Ultravoliet but there's a risk wee Voilet may develop an inferiority complex as a result.

DRFT but omlette popped into my head. Why would you do this?

Could always rename the other two to match:
Cheeselette
Hamlett

I.just don't get the hilarity. Lots of names end in et(t) - Juliet, Harriet, Collette, Annette etc. Why should the OP wade through posts suggesting she call her child Fookette, Poopette etc?

Because it amuses a lot of people who use the forum? Isn't that a good enough reason?

Or you could change the spelling of Bernadette and mix in the French for brown from Brunette or Burnett making

Brunadette or

Burnadette

Burnadette just sounds like a woman who sets fire to all her bills.

Well we called our children Redd, Infraredd, and Thisoneisjustshit, and we never saw a problem.

That's such a sweet naming theme! Here are some lovely colour-inspired middle name options ending in -lett or -ett to match Scarlett and Violett:

Colour Middle Name Ideas:

  1. Juliett – Inspired by the rose (as in “a rose by any other name…”), soft and romantic, links subtly to colour through the flower theme.
  2. Rosett or Rosalett – From “rose”, giving a soft pink/red colour association.
  3. Bluett – A rare but valid name (and also an old surname) with a direct link to blue.
  4. Crimsonett – Unusual, but could work if you're open to a unique twist.
  5. Lavendett – A creative take on lavender, linking to the soft purple colour.
  6. Amberlett – Inventive, but grounded in the warm amber tone.
  7. Garnett – A real name and colour reference (deep red gem tone), and fits your pattern beautifully.

Wow, so many mums happy to laugh at and be unkind to a pregnant mum over night, I hope you all wake up and reflect if you’d speak to a pregnant woman in person like this today. Scarlett and Violet are beautiful names, I’m going to assume op added the t to Violett to link with her sister which is a lovely thing to do, clearly family bonds and stories are important to op.
As suggestions, I think you could go with :
Garnett
Jett
Russett
All lovely colours and a shared li k with her sisters .

All the wannabe comedians innit.

OP there are some realistic suggestions here.

Personally I like Jett, Rosette and Blanchette. You might like to see what her colouring is like before you decide.

Enjoy your new baby girl when she comes.

Oriette (more rarely, Auriette) means golden, OP

So Garnett, Rosette, Rosalet, Oriette, Russet, Blanchette are all possibilities.

Pirouette

FleurDeFleur · 10/04/2025 08:23

Dansette

Fumette

So Garnett, Rosette, Rosalet, Oriette, Russet, Blanchette are all possibilities.

And you could technically go for forms of Gwyneth (probably means white) or even Margaret (Pearl) too.
