iris or violet??? help really struggling with 3dc names

[steph1512]

hi honestly what do you prefer?

my first two dds are called grace and daisy

really struggling this time but im down to these two names at the mo like the diff of iris but also like violet but would hate it if shortened to vi

Like both but prefer Iris. I actually like nn Vi.

I love most of the 'flower' names, my own dd3 has one...they're very popular in our family ...Ivy, Iris, Violet (Vi) and Rose...not so keen on Iris, but that may be because I wasn't too fond of my relative Iris (she'd have been 80+).

Violet because it feels cheekier than Iris.

Violet, although it reminds me slightly of Violent. Better than Iris, though.

Violet is gorgeous. You could always go for nn Lettie.

I like both, but prefer Iris (and i think it goes better with the others)

Iris. Violet reminds me of violent and also Violet Elizabeth Bott from the Just William stories (who threatened to scream and scream and scream until she was "thick").

Iris - but then I have one! And she is very cheeky...

Tough choice, both were on our short lists but have boys, I think Iris with your others.

Love both - you can have nickname Lottie or Lettie for Violet, not sure what nickname for Iris though? Think Iris goes better with DDs but could choose either.

both lovely

Violet is such a gorgeous name - very luxurious and also sweet . Lettie or Lettice is a cute nn.

Violet

Violet is too like violent for my ears,... and I get annoyed with myself because it is such a beautiful colour. Iris is pretty and a beatiful flower too!

With one DD named Daisy already, I wouldn't be too keen on a floral name, although Iris is also Greek, so maybe it would work. Would you consider a tree name, like Willow, Laurel, or Hazel instead?

Love Laurel!!

Love Violet.

wow thanks pretty much seems to be an even vote so far and no one yet to say they completely dislike either

have thought of willow before..but i love plower names so always seem to come back to them.

Mmmm not finding this choice easy

My daughter's middle name is Violet and I love it! When she's naughty I do call her viscious violet though lol!!! Toddlers lol!
