I’m revamping my girls list, as after being away from it for several months, it no longer feels fresh to me. I still love [name]Violet[/name], but I’m not so keep on [name]Amelia[/name] as one of the middles anymore. [name]Ruby[/name] has to stay as it’s honouring, but other than that I have no real preferences. So could you please help me by answering the two following questions?
Out of the following, which would you choose as a middle name for [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] _____ or [name]Violet[/name] _____ [name]Ruby[/name]?
Which would you choose as a middle name for [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] _____ or [name]Violet[/name] _____ [name]Ruby[/name] if you weren’t limited to the above list? Preferably avoid [name]Alice[/name], [name]India[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] or anything extremely similar as I plan to have these as firsts on my list.
I’m happy to hear more than one answer for each, but I’m not looking for lists of hundreds of names. Thanks!
I find it sounds best as [name]Violet[/name] ____ [name]Ruby[/name], because [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Ruby[/name] are both 2 syllables-- which I don’t think sounds as nice together. For example [name]Violet[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] sounds nicer than [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Isobel[/name].
Secondly, I would avoid other floral/ gem names which narrows down your list quite a lot.
Out of the possible combinations I think [name]Violet[/name] [name]Isobel[/name]/ [name]Isabel[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] or [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] has the best overall sound but here are the others:
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Clementine[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Coralie[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] (preferred over [name]Sylvie[/name] for the 3 syllables in this case)
Thank you both! [name]Violet[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] were my first thoughts. I like [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] a lot, they both work well
I like [name]Clementine[/name], but does it make the whole combo too long? Also, with [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]June[/name], is the repeated “oo” sound too much? [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Winter[/name] was another one I leaned to, but (as with [name]Clementine[/name] and [name]June[/name]) will three word names in one be tto much?
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] is very pretty on it’s own in my opinion, but if you like 2 mn’s then I also like [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Freya[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Ruby[/name].
You could get away with almost anything that isn’t another color name, and I mean that in a good way. =]
Thank you I’m still a little iffy about [name]Freya[/name], I love it but I’m not sure if I can see myself using it. But [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Freya[/name] / [name]Violet[/name] [name]Freya[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] appeals to me a lot! I’ve had a soft-spot for [name]Serena[/name] for a long time and I really like [name]Violet[/name] [name]Serena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] would probably be my top choice as I lovelovelove [name]Delilah[/name], but I don’t know if the double ‘eye’ sound in [name]Violet[/name] & [name]Delilah[/name] is too much for me. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] appeals to me in sound, but I’ve heard [name]Olivia[/name] just a few too many times, but one of my 4-year-old relatives has the middle name [name]Olivia[/name]. I love [name]Emmeline[/name] though!
I think right now, my top choices are:
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Serena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Freya[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
It’s funny how one name can change the perception completely. With [name]Violet[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], I see a girl from the past, very prim and proper. Whereas with [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Juniper[/name], I see a modern day girl, spunky and adventurous. I love both, especially [name]Juniper[/name]!
I definitely think [name]Beatrix[/name] and [name]Matilda[/name] are top contenders right now though
Thanks I think [name]Violet[/name] [name]Eulalia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] is really nice in theory, not sure about how they sound together though. I love [name]Violet[/name] [name]Coraline[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Delphine[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Honoria[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]!
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Serena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]May[/name]. (Before I even read your names I thought of [name]May[/name]!)
