Revisiting Viola 🪻

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 3:09am

Hi berries!

A while back, I added [name_f]Viola[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Lola[/name_f]) to my list, but I still haven’t landed on a middle for her, so I’m revisiting her tonight. From the last thread I had (and with time for the options to settle), I think my favorites are [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Philippine[/name_f], and potentially [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] or [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] as outliers. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] is the closest I’ve gotten to a combo but it doesn’t feel just right yet. I would love to hear other ideas you might have based on these!

Thank you, berries!

I’ll try to give a mix of single and double middles, since I’m not sure which one you’re going for.

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] [name_f]Adelais[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Esmeray[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Esmae[/name_f] [name_f]Roselore[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Lileas[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] [name_f]Melrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Blaire[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Fable[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Solstice[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f]

Of course any of the double middles would work with just the first middle if you don’t want double middles.

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] are lovely!! [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] is intriguing too!

Obsessed with [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] how magical!

If you want a third name for the combo, maybe ~
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] [name_f]Juno[/name_f]

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Poesy[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f]

(or [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] Wishmay!)

[name_m]Other[/name_m] single middles I like for her…
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]

Thank you! I do two middles but find it easier to build a combo 1 middle at a time, so just the 1 middle suggestions are fine!

I’m contemplating [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Marin[/name_f], I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] but for some reason I struggle more with liking [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]? And Maren/Marin is a family name… but she doesn’t feel right with [name_f]Viola[/name_f] either. Maybe something in between [name_f]Viola[/name_f] and [name_f]Marin[/name_f]? I’m afraid [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is going to be one of those names that’s impossible to pair up—I’ve found it really hard to find middles that, when paired with [name_f]Viola[/name_f], still feel like a ME combo.

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 5:49pm

lol truthfully I just thought to combine [name_f]Eden[/name_f] and [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] last night and was surprised I liked it as much as I did. It’s not love yet but I am liking [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] in theory—I’m letting her sit with me a while to see where we land

[name_f]Wish[/name_f] I could, but [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] feel way too [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] for real life

I do like [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] tho

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 5:52pm

I was surprised that I did, I’m not usually an [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] person! I’d probably do a family name as the second middle, maybe [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] or [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]? [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]?

[name_f]Selah[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f], which I do like with [name_f]Viola[/name_f], but couldn’t find a second middle I liked with her well enough.

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 5:55pm

GIRL

[name_m]You[/name_m] suggested her on my last [name_f]Viola[/name_f] thread!

I like her but [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] doesn’t quite feel like me, I think that’s what I’m hesitant about. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] feels like YOU though [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f] Juno/Lark are so sweet!

Oh I do like [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], and [name_f]Romilly[/name_f], though! [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f] especially have family significance. I’ll have to give all 3 of them some more thought. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f]?

louise.solaris · July 1, 2026, 6:36pm

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] is one of my favorites of all time!

I love [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Wishmay[/name_f], and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Appoline[/name_f]. My go-to combo is [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] Here’s some more ideas!

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Lunéciel[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Tomine[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Felicienne[/name_f]

persephonescrown · July 1, 2026, 6:48pm

Pahahaha shows how many brain cells I currently have working. Well done, me from the past! I do think she’s fabulous

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] is absolutely lovely!

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 7:43pm

I’m seriously considering [name_f]Maris[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] for my [name_f]Maris[/name_f] combo, but I’ve wondered about [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] if I don’t! [name_f]She[/name_f] is really lovely

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 7:44pm

Thank you! Somehow she feels more me than [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f], but I love how springy [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] feels!

southern.maple · July 1, 2026, 10:19pm

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] is so pretty! I like the [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] combo too.

ashthedreamer · July 1, 2026, 10:26pm

Thanks lady! I like her a lot too, of all the options she feels most like me

I meant to come back to your thread and now I’m trying to get caught up with all the comments.

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] does feel very you. I really I like the rhythm of [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] in particular but not sure I like the back to back ‘ee’ sound of [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f].

[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Romilly[/name_f] is great too, a bit prettier and more delicate than the above, but I like stylistic contrast more in [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Eden[/name_f] [name_f]Jessamy[/name_f].

Can’t go wrong with either [name_f]Maris[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] is striking. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] you liked the suggestion!

mellona · July 3, 2026, 10:15am

I apologize for not having any other suggestions, but I think I remember you liking [name_f]Rahab[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Rahab[/name_f] ___ would sound very pretty!

Good luck and have a great day!

ashthedreamer · July 3, 2026, 10:18pm

Oh thanks lady! I am intrigued by [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] Camille… it feels very me! It is a little eye heavy in sound but I am very fond of [name_f]Iris[/name_f]! [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is lovely too—I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f].
