[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All

Can I ask your thoughts on a middle name for [name_f]Violet[/name_f]?
Our surname is 2 syllables and begins with A.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]???

You really can’t go wrong either way. I think I’m leaning toward [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] just slightly.

Another for [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is lovely too but just too much me in this combination.

I prefer [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] over [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

I like that both middles share an “L” somewhere in the name with [name_f]Violet[/name_f], I think it adds to the flow of each when said together. I also like that both middles are distinct and multi-syllabic. Overall wonderful combos, but there’s something particularly swoonworthy about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. ”

Both names are lovely. I’m leaning towards [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] only because you said your last name begins with an A which could run together with the ending a in [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].

Thank you for the lovely comments

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] for a girl!

I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is amazing! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] have similar feels to me (dark & somewhat broody) whereas [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] has such a light bubbly feel that it balances out [name_f]Violet[/name_f] perfectly. I also find [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] rather literary ([name_f]Violet[/name_f] from A Series of Unfortunate Events and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] from [name_m]Roald[/name_m] Dahl’s novel).
