I previously posted in the boy forum looking for boy names for the sibset of [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] (both boys), but we just found out we’re having a girl!
I’ve had [name_f]Violet[/name_f] in my mind since before we even started having children, but I’m questioning myself and wondering if it fits within the sibset. We’ve deliberately tried to choose names that are not on the top 100 chart, but [name_u]Finn[/name_u] rose in popularity after we picked it. We still love it and would name him that over and over again. [name_u]River[/name_u] is also rising but not as popular as [name_u]Finn[/name_u]. And, clearly, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is on the top 100 list as well.
Is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] too “classic” to fit with these names? I’m wracking my brain to come up with a spunky, cute middle name to [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but we keep heading towards the classics. Both boy’s middle names are family names that are very, very popular/old fashioned - to balance out the quirkiness of the first name. Now, I feel the need to do the opposite for [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
Any suggestions, or other first names we could consider? On the short list of middle names:
We love cute names like [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_u]Scout[/name_u], but also can’t seem to fit it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. We’ve already been calling her [name_f]Violet[/name_f], so it’s hard to get out of the pattern!
Help, please! You are all so good with names! [name_f]TIA[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] feels more vintage than [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u], but if it is what you love I think it’s fine. I think a Celtic or mythological name could give it that more modern/hippie edge to blend with [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u].
