My husband and I just found out we are having a baby girl. The two names we are considering right now are [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. If we go with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], her name will be [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u]. I originally had [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] picked out. [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] was my great grandmother’s name and she raised my Mom so I feel like it is a tribute to her and my Mom as well. But my husband doesn’t like [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] and honestly as names go, I wouldn’t pick [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] if it weren’t for the family tie. I have thought about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Cora[/name_f], but the flow just seems off to me. We actually like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] a bit more than [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], but the middle name can make or break it for us. Any suggestions? I listed other family names below, but honestly we want a name we love so I would also love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combos in general.
Other Family Names:
-[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
-[name_f]Sigrid[/name_f]
-[name_f]Ann[/name_f]
-[name_f]Maryann[/name_f]
-[name_u]Marion[/name_u]
-[name_f]Ella[/name_f]
-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u]. I wouldn’t use [name_f]Ann[/name_f] because it’s so common and I don’t like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] because they’re too flowery together. I definitely like your options for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] for than [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]? [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] feels similar to [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], and it sounds pretty with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. This way, you get the best of both, I’d imagine.
Seconding @elanorelle’s suggestion of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]! Not only does it sound brilliant, but it honors both [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]!
What about [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], or [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]?
I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] would be nice! Other suggestions:
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f]
I’m really liking the ideas of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] paired with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. Be it [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. I feel the decision for me would come down with what flows better with the last name.
I had thought of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] in the past, but worried it might be too floral. One of the reasons I like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] in the first place is because it honors my Mom’s side of the family with [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] and my Dad’s side with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I will see if I can convince the husband.
Other [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Combos I have been thinking about:
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (Means pretty [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] Mom’s name in [name_f]Linda[/name_f] which means pretty and it honors [name_f]Rose[/name_f]).
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] (I actually love this book/movie as well, I don’t know if the husband will go for it).
-[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u] (my husband loves the [name_f]Star[/name_f] Wars tie, I like that it means [name_m]King[/name_m]. But is [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u] too ultra violet ray?)
I’m the opposite of you and your husband I really like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] I think it’s gorgeous. I also like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u] great combinations. Suggestion [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]? [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] would honour [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] but feels more buttoned up you may prefer it!
From your other family names I really like the combinations…
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] - this is such a gorgeous combination feels very literacy inspired like a name from a storybook. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] - this combination feels very strong and elegant. [name_u]Marion[/name_u] feels unexpected and I like it teamed with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Really gorgeous.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - yes this is a floral overload but I actually love it. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds pretty and fresh. I just think it’s quirky like a twist on [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] which people seem to like. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is lovely. Suggestion [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]? Your two favourites combined and would honour a [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u] is an amazing name, but I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is perfect for your little girl I’m also not an huge fan of [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f], however, [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be a beautiful way to honor [name_f]Coralie[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] from your new list! I also like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Marion[/name_u] (I think Maid [name_u]Marion[/name_u] would be a fun connection for a little girl). I was going to suggest [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Rey[/name_u] but also thought of the ultra violet rays. From pps my favorites are [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Annelise[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].
I’m also not an huge fan of [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] or [name_f]Cora[/name_f], however, [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] would be a beautiful way to honor [name_f]Coralie[/name_f].
