I really love [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name].
[name]Violet[/name]! [name]Violet[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] sounds absolutely lovely. 
[name]Nora[/name] is lovely, also [name]Norah[/name] if you want a bit more weight. I know a lovely little 6 year old named [name]Norah[/name] who loves to sing.
I’m not sure what your hesitation is with [name]Nora[/name] but you could also go with something like [name]Elenora[/name] or [name]Lenora[/name] or [name]Honora[/name] to give her more options. I know a 13 year old named [name]Lenore[/name] who is very smart and elegant.
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] is lovely, all the duplicated letters almost makes it feel like alliteration.
I really love [name]Fiona[/name]! It has a more fun feel than [name]Nora[/name], which as see as more serious and elegant, but it has a lot of history and a classic but rare feel.
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] is very pretty!
I also like [name]Eden[/name], but I don’t know that [name]Eden[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] really flows all that great, if that’s important to you.
I love all of these. More than [name]Nora[/name], personally, but I can see why you love [name]Nora[/name], too. Of the four options, [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] are my favorites, although I know the cutest little girl named [name]Eden[/name] nn [name]Edie[/name], and that’s really endeared me to the name. I think [name]Lily[/name] [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Violet[/name] [name]Corinne[/name], and [name]Eden[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] are all very sweet.
Good luck!
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] sounds gorgeous.
I actually like [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] best but voted for [name]Violet[/name] because i think it sounds best with [name]Corinne[/name].
My vote was for [name]Eden[/name]. However, [name]Eden[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] doesn’t really flow. It isn’t the best combo… I do love that your DH’s name is [name]Ed[/name].
[name]Eden[/name] doesn’t seem to match your type. I suppose [name]Edith[/name] is out of the question? [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Edita[/name]? I love [name]Edie[/name], but not [name]Edith[/name], and I think [name]Eden[/name] is a name on it’s own and [name]Edie[/name] as a nn doesn’t really suit it. [name]Edita[/name] has the option of the nn [name]Dita[/name] too, which is vintage sounding.
Are you set on [name]Corinne[/name] as the mn? It really doesn’t go with any of the names you mentioned.
Suggestions:
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
Best of luck!
I voted for [name]Violet[/name] ([name]Violet[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] sounds so very classical and sweet), but I do love [name]Nora[/name]! Have you considered [name]Eleanor[/name] with [name]Nora[/name]/[name]Nell[/name]/etc. as a nickname?
It is a tie for me between [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name]. They have very different feels to me. [name]Violet[/name] is sweet and soft, while [name]Fiona[/name] is strong and sophisticated. I also really like Nora.
[name]Nora[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] is absolutely beautiful.
Of your other choices, I think [name]Fiona[/name] is the best fit with the middle name, but I don’t love it nearly as much as [name]Nora[/name].
I voted for [name]Fiona[/name], lovely name and fits well with [name]Corinne[/name]. [name]Nora[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] is a great choice too.
[name]Violet[/name] is just so hipster/yupster trendy right now. I see it becoming kind of overused. While that type of yupster name seems to be your style - and I understand why because they are pretty names - I think [name]Fiona[/name] is the least overused and the most interesting. I like it much better than [name]Nora[/name], but I am not a fan of [name]Nora[/name] at all. It sounds kind of middle-aged and dry and stagnant to me. Also [name]Fiona[/name] sounds beautiful with [name]Corinne[/name], and has the adorable nn [name]Fee[/name].
I like all of them except for [name]Eden[/name]. [name]Eden[/name] sounds masculine and is too biblical for my liking.
[name]Violet[/name] got my vote, but both [name]Lily[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] are lovely.
[name]FIONA[/name] [name]CORINNE[/name] is perfect.
-
Meter is perfect. [name]Fiona[/name] = 3 syllables, stressed on the second- fi-OH-na. [name]Corinne[/name] is 2 syllables, stressed on the second- cor-[name]RIN[/name].
-
balance of sounds is perfect. [name]Fiona[/name] is soft with three separate vowel sounds; [name]Corinne[/name] is hard and closed with three consonants. The -A in [name]Fiona[/name] lilts perfectly into [name]Corinne[/name].
-
balance of imagery/ style: both are crisp and vintage, though the one is Celtic and the other, French. They’re not overly matchy and they complement each other perfectly.
It’s a ravishing name.
[name]Eden[/name] was a tribute to my husband and his late father, [name]Edward[/name]. I’m not willing to trade it because [name]Edith[/name] sounds too musky to me. [name]Edita[/name] is too strange and out there for my taste. As for [name]Corinne[/name], it’s after family and will not change. Judging by other people’s comments, I think we’ve got a first name to go with it. Thanks anyways!
While I adore [name]Eden[/name] and [name]Edie[/name] (and do think [name]Edie[/name] works just perfectly as a nn for [name]Eden[/name]) I feel that [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Corinne[/name] has the best flow and prefer it to [name]Violet[/name] [name]Corinne[/name].
