Oh mu gosh, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is fabulous! That is my first choice. If you choose [name_f]Violet[/name_f], I like [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] in the middle. But [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]…wow!

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] would be beautiful choices. And a subtle nod at some great imagery, ala “violet light” or “violet star” through the name meanings.

I voted for [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], & [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]! All lovely choices. I slightly prefer [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] so I think [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is my favorite overall.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]

All of those are fantastic. There’s something about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] that is sweet, clever, and a great excuse for the nickname [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] or Vee…

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is stunning. I love it. [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] & [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] is adorable, but it’s a little heavy on the v sound with [name_m]Davey[/name_m]. Still adorable though!
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Callisto[/name_f] I like, for the meaning - the most beautiful violet. It makes me think of twilight.

Ditto!


[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous and goes so nicely with [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]! This is overwhelmingly my favorite.

I also really liked [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lumi[/name_f], but I’m not sure about [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] and [name_m]Davey[/name_m] side-by-side. I don’t dislike it but It’s something to consider.

I guess my third choice would be [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], though is seems a lot more frilly than your other choices. Ultimately even with the similar sounding endings in [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] and [name_m]Davey[/name_m], I like that a bit more than [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].

Have you consider [name_f]Luz[/name_f] or [name_f]Lux[/name_f] in the middle spot? Seeing [name_f]Lumi[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] makes me think these are definite options for you.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is a rad sibset.

My favs in order:
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

I voted for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f], and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f].

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are definitely sibling to me, but the middles don’t go together well in my opinion.

On the other hand, [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] seems a little lengthy to be [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]’s sibling but I love [name_u]Grey[/name_u] and [name_f]Snow[/name_f] as sibling middles names.

Such a hard choice!

Haha you hit the nail on the head for me… I totally agree that [name_f]Violet[/name_f] somehow goes better with [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - they both seem equally cheeky but, at the same time, classically English and sophisticated. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is a bit more frilly, lengthy and, depending on who you ask, mature.

I also agree with what appears the majority view - [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is most #dreamy as a combo :stuck_out_tongue:

But my worry is about abandoning [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as a first name for the sake of getting a good middle name. It might be different in the US but, in the UK, middle names are usually only used on forms and identity documents.

WHAT A BALL ACHE THIS IS!!

I texted my husband the short list, based on the poll results - so [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] - and his response was that he wanted to wait to make sure this is def my final list before he commits to making a decision lol. He also says he thinks he prefers [name_f]Lux[/name_f] to [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] as he thinks [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] is too Italian for us to get away with, having no Italian family connection.

Now I wish I included [name_f]Lux[/name_f] on the poll too haha :rolleyes:

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] is BEAUTIFUL. [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] is a little too frilly for my taste and I generally dislike word names like [name_f]Snow[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are a great sibset and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] [name_m]Davey[/name_m] is so perfect!

I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estela[/name_f] is gorgeous

You really can’t go wrong - they’re all lovely.

I chose [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f] but I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] flows a little more nicely :slight_smile:

Best wishes!

I love [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]!

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] is so pretty. But all your other options are [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as a first name so I suspect you love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] more than [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], and truthfully so do I. And loving the first name is more important than a perfect first middle combo. My favorite [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combo is definitely [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f], it’s sophisticated and lovely without being overly frilly. [name_m]Just[/name_m] as good as [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] in my opinion.
Good luck.

I prefer [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] with [name_m]Jasper[/name_m].

My favourite of your [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combos are with [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] and [name_f]Estella[/name_f].

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] is just swoon worthy. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] definitely sounds like siblings!

Oh my, Jasper Grey is swoon worthy

I think Vivienne Snow is absolutely gorgeous but Violet fits so well with Jasper and you seem to love it more. We have a Violet and we struggled to find the right middle name for her too! I think Violet Lucia, Violet Lucienne and Violet Estella are stunning

Good luck!
