Celeste is the closest to fitting that brief that I can come up with.

preferably a colour 😀

You must know that Violett isn't a colour it's a misspelling.

Are you anywhere around North-East England? If so, how about Areetpette?

Not "ett" though...
Maybe Colette?

Ok to paraphrase you and cut to the chase - don’t give your child a ridiculous name. In a nutshell this. Don’t pick a colour and add ett on the end of it.

Nothing wrong with working in a supermarket - or any other honest days work. That is coming from you not me.

Don't you mean Scarlet and Violet? Or did you really add an extra T to them

You must know that Violett isn't a colour it's a misspelling.

It's not unusual for personal names to have lots of spelling variants. Violette, Violett etc obviously derive from Violet; Scarlett from Scarlet, and there are a good few options for other colour names ending et(te) as the OP requested.

If you have Scarlet and Violet then

Black and White
Red and Blue
Diamond and Pearl

Ahem

Orangette and aquanett are not names 😂 neither are most of the suggestions on here, people are making them in jest.
There are plenty of lovely names people need to stop making them up.

Jet - Jette

WhatterySquash · 10/04/2025 08:42

I opened the thread thinking there wouldn’t be any good ones but I love Russet. Also Jet? And I love the medieval name Lionet, though it’s not a colour.

Hope you’re ok with the teasing op, had to happen! But your names are nice IMO.

I know. I just think OP is going to have to shift one of the requirements and if it were me it’d probably be flexing on that one.

Juliet - not a colour but matches.

Hyacinth Buckett?

Blackette

whatsappdoc · 10/04/2025 08:46

Yes, sorry it's not what you asked but the extra 't' makes them look like spelling mistakes. To carry on the tradition though I would just make a name up eg Rubyett.

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 10/04/2025 08:46

This has to be a joke.

Apart from anything else, you have misspelt both Scarlet and Violet.

Sure. But Garnet, Blanchette, Margaret, Russet, Rosette, Rosalet, Gwyneth, Oriette are existing names.

I don't know why people think it's so funny to flood the thread with joke suggestions or why they are criticising the OP's spelling. She's asked for specific information for her child's possible middle name, and she's had a few helpful answers.

Because it's ridiculous to give your children matching incorrectly spelt middle names. So people are poking fun.

ETA most of your suggestions aren't colours as requested. Also Russet and Rosette, really?! A potato and a fancy ribbon.....
