My husband and I are having a hard time picking a name for our baby girl, due in just 6 weeks. I have fallen in love with the name [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but he thinks it sounds too old timey so will only agree to having it as a middle name. What are some first names that sound good with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as a middle name? Some considerations:
sibling’s name is [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
can’t be too “old” or vintage sounding because husband will likely veto
it seems like we tend to prefer shorter names (e.g. 3-4 letters) but aren’t opposed to considering names that are longer
A couple we have been considering:
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] aka [name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] aka [name_f]Livvy[/name_f] (we both love this option but hate that [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is so popular right now).
Both of your options are super cute with [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
I think since you’d call [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Livvy[/name_f], it would work.
ooh [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are lovely. I will need to review with the hubby. Thanks!
I like [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] a lot! I know a family who has an [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and I’ve heard it used a time or two before that, so it seems to be a popular combo in general, not to mention [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] being popular in its own right. Maybe [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] instead? Probably too vintage, though. My first idea was [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]–which I love! [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] I guess might sound vintagey, but it’s very up-and-coming, and more international to me (an Italian name) than vintage. I think [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would be lovely, and [name_u]Finn[/name_u] and [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] are adorable together!
What about:
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleni[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] (similar feel to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but much less popular. I don’t get an old-fashioned/vintage vibe, but more of an artsy, literary one, but I guess some might see it as old-fashioned? I used to have [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] on my list, though, so I love these two paired together!)
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m still stuck on [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Hubs really likes [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Not sure how he thinks [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sounds too old and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] does not but whatever.
