Lately I’ve been questioning my [name]Violet[/name] combo ([name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]). I’ve come up with these as potential substitutes–wdyt of them? [name]Do[/name] you like any better than [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]? Any other [name]Violet[/name] combo suggestions? The second MN will more likely than not be [name]Claire[/name] (for my dad and brother), [name]Fleur[/name] (for my best friend who passed away last [name]Wednesday[/name]), or [name]Noelle[/name] (after my little sister).
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Anais[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Annika[/name] (love the idea of an [name]Anne[/name]- name with [name]Violet[/name], just not sure which one!)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecily[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Helena[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]
I’m also considering [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]–wdyt of that?
Secondly, lately I’ve been liking [name]Olive[/name]… [name]Olivia[/name] is one of my personal favorites, and the popularity doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but I obviously can’t use both [name]Olive[/name] AND [name]Olivia[/name]. WDYT of [name]Olive[/name], and do you think it matches my favorites ([name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Liliana[/name], [name]Rachel[/name], [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Annika[/name], [name]Eleni[/name]) better than [name]Olivia[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Olive[/name] could be a nn for [name]Olivia[/name]?
Thanks!
My favorites are…
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] - your original.
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Helena[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] or [name]Violet[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
such beautiful names!
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is ok. But I think the fff sound that [name]Ophelia[/name] and [name]Fleur[/name] make, I think that once is enough. So either [name]Ophelia[/name] or [name]Fleur[/name], not together.
[name]Ophelia[/name] is not my favorite because all I can see is “I feel ya” for some reason 
I think that [name]Violet[/name] [name]Anais[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would be stunning!!! [name]Violet[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] would be nice as well. [name]Do[/name] you pronounce [name]Caroline[/name] as [name]Cara[/name]-line [name]Cara[/name]-leen or [name]Cara[/name]-lyn? [name]Violet[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] would be really nice as well but I still prefer [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Berry[/name] that you have been tossing around by a landslide 
Sorry, but [name]Olive[/name] is just a food to me [name]Olivia[/name]'s popularity gets to me as well but I still think it is a lot better than [name]Olive[/name]. It might be able to pass as a NN though.
I love your original! I would never doubt the [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] combo, but then I’ve always been fond of Shakespearian names ([name]Lysander[/name] and Shylock are both favourites). I like it better with [name]Fleur[/name] though, even with the multiple ffs.
I live [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] equally, but I feel like [name]Olivia[/name] fits with your others much better. I also think [name]Olive[/name] is a perfectly suitable nn for [name]Olivia[/name], so I’d keep with it. I love either spunky names that can be shortened to be normal or vise versa, as you’ve done~
Thanks, ladies!
I’m also considering [name]Violet[/name] [name]Astrid[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name]… wdyt of those?
@ferntailwp–I’ve been pretty attached to [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] for a while, but lately there are some combos (especially [name]Violet[/name] [name]Helena[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]) that I couldn’t get out of my mind, so I figured I’d post about it to make sure. That, and my best friend died last week, so I’ve been trying to find a space for [name]Fleur[/name] on my list to honor her. I thought [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] could be a possibility, but if I kept [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name], I’m pretty sure I’d keep the whole thing–[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]. I just love it SO much more than [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]! If I swapped it to one of the other MNs, though, I might use [name]Fleur[/name] as a second MN for that…
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] is nice! I really like [name]Violet[/name] next to an A name that is why its on my list as [name]Annabelle[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. I think [name]Violet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would both be beautiful!
I love “A” names with [name]Violet[/name], too! I was trying to find one I thought I would love as much as I’ve loved [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name], but I’m not sure I have. We’ll see. 
I also love [name]Audrey[/name]! Its meaning (“noble strength”) is very special to me as it’s pretty much come to embody my brother since he joined the [name]Air[/name] Force this [name]September[/name]. I think it’s a nice way to inconspicuously honor him.
Here’s another [name]Violet[/name] “A” suggestion… I’ve been crushing on this name for a bit… I must have baby fever or something… LOL
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]…
You could always use Ophélie instead of [name]Ophelia[/name], then you wont have the “feel ya” problem, plus I dont think pronunciation is too difficult with this one Ophélie pronunciation: How to pronounce Ophélie in French
@thetxbelle - thanks for the suggestion, but the “feel ya” thing has never really been my issue with [name]Ophelia[/name]. Besides, it’d be a MN, so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
@kry.vivi.83 - I actually considered [name]Adelaide[/name] because I love “A” names with [name]Violet[/name], but I just am very unimpressed with [name]Adelaide[/name], haha. I just don’t really see its appeal, and it seems really overrated to me. I do love [name]Addy[/name] names, but not really [name]Adelaide[/name]. I have considered [name]Violet[/name] [name]Adele[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] [name]Adelia[/name], though… I just don’t really love them as much as the others.
I figured I could decide easier if I came up with the full combos, so the remaining ones would be:
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Astrid[/name] [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Astrid[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (not sure which I prefer)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Eve[/name] (I’m fine with using [name]Violet[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Eve[/name], since [name]Violet[/name] honors both my grandmothers and my dad)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Eve[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (usually wouldn’t want to use two one-syllable MNs in a row, but my grandmother’s name was [name]Ruth[/name] [name]Mae[/name]–two one-syllable names–so I think [name]Eve[/name]-[name]Claire[/name]/[name]Eve[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is a subtle, sweet nod to her)
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Helena[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Noelle[/name]/[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
WDYT? [name]Do[/name] any of the full combos especially stand out to you?
Thanks!
[name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is my favourite combo of yours! [name]Violet[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is a bit f heavy but it is still very pretty and looks gorgeous I’d go with either one of those two. I also love the name [name]Olive[/name]. It would be on my list if I wasn’t set on using [name]Oliver[/name]. [name]Olive[/name] seems more elegant and interesting to me, although [name]Olivia[/name] is also a very nice name. [name]Both[/name] [name]Olive[/name] and [name]Olivia[/name] go well with your other names but I think [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] in particular make a great sibset.
