A middle name for Violet

[springbean]

Any ideas for middle names for dd2, who we're going to call Violet? Our surname has 4 syllables, begins with F and ends with u (not English). Do you like Violet Penelope? (Penelope is my dm's name) or do you think Violet needs something shorter and sweeter to complement it? How about Violet Nina or Violet Maeve? - would it look too much llike Violet Mauve?? Please let your creativity run wild as I'd love something beautiful and original but very classy.

Ta!

violet june?

I like violet nina & violet penelope but I was thinking that with a long surname, maybe a shorter middle name would flow better...

I really like Violet Maeve and Violet June is pretty too

Actually, now I've said it aloud, Violet Penelope 4-syllable-surname-beginning-with-F-ending-with-U sounds good too but would probably depend on what your last name actually is. If it has lots of Ps in it, it probably would be too much...

So, I was no help at all! Sorry

like Violet Maeve - what about Violet Mae

like violet mae

Yes i like Violet May or Mae.

Violet Mae sounds like it should be a hyphenated name, and Penelope has lots of syllables which could make it a bit of a mouthful if you've got a big surname too.

How about Violet Maura, it's an Irish name and a fave of mine (though DP won't hear of it for ours) and it gives a crisper sound to compliment the softness of Violet (lovely name by the way)

Violet Rose?

I love Violet Maeve - it's delightful.

As I was opening the thread I was thinking of May/Mae for a middle name but I think Maeve is perfect. Wouldn't worry about the purple (violet/mauve) connection.

Violet Elaine

Violet Anne

I agree with Violet Rose, sounds lovely. Very flowery theme there though!

Or what about a name that would accord with the surname. So if the surname is say Romanian - a Romanian middle name?

Agree with Budababe - Violet Rose is lovely.

I like Violet Michelle, it seemed instantly so right than I wonder whether I know someone by this name.

Violet Niamh?

Another vote for Rose or Mae here. I do think that a single syllable would flow better, and would worry about the colour connection with Maeve.

Violet Ava

or as Eidsvold suggested Violet Mae

Hi again, I was thinking about Violet Belle, any thoughts!

I think Violet Rose would be a bit too flowery! nice though it is, and Violet Ruby would be too colourful, wouldn't it?

Violet Hope

Violet Grace? Agree Violet Mae sound nice.

My dd's middle name is Grace, quite cpopular at the mo I know, but I like it. I also like Marie as a middle name..Violet Marie??

Violet Belle absolutely GORGEOUS and v Gone With The Wind, 'hush your mouth, Violet Belle'

but don't forget Violet Maeve - were you thinking of 'To Maeve' by mervyn peake which is so fab (doesn't seem to be on the interweb)

Hi, hope i'm not butting in, but I couldn't resist.
How about Violet Dawn?

Hope everyones ok.

Take Care
