[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Cara[/name_f] & …

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] - Not a huge fan of [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], but I really don’t like it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. To me, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sounds very simple and crisp; [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] seems a lot frillier and I don’t like the contrast.

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] - Same as [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]. I like the flow of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] - Still a bit frillier than [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but it feels softer and sweeter than [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. I really like it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I think my favorite combo is [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f], but I also like [name_f]Primrose[/name_f].

[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - Not really a fan of [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f], my style leans more towards [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. It sounds decent with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] though; I think my favorite combo is [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f].

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! They both feel very cozy. These are all really good combos and it’s hard to pick, I think my favorite is [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f], with [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] being a close second.

[name_f]Frances[/name_f] - [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sound very good together. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] isn’t really my style, but I can appreciate how well the combo flows.

[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Same cozy feel as [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. Again, super hard to pick a combo, but I’m going to go with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f], with [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] being a close second. Any of the ones you listed would work beautifully, though.

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - Feels a little harsher than [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but it works very well. I think my favorite combo is [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]; I like how [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] balances out [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - It’s a nice name, just not what I’d pair with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. My favorite combo is [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f], but [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is nice too.

[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], just not what I’d choose to pair with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Still lovely though, and I like the combo.

Another amazing list!!

My faves are:

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]

My top three would have to be [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (okay, I may be a little biased as [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is in my sig. too, but it is stunning), [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] (honestly amazing) and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]!

My favorite is [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]–so gorgeous!

6

[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is favourite! It works so well as a combo. She would have the same middle initials as her sister, but I don’t see that as an issue at all.

My second would be [name_f]Mable[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f].

Wow, what a great list! You have so many options, and most all of them are fantastic.

I agree with several of the previous posters; while I find Anastasia and Aurora gorgeous, I don’t think they’re a good match for Violet. The former is a bit long, while the latter is far more modern. I also think that Penelope fits the “too modern” criteria (I am aware that it has history; however, it has picked up a lot of steam recently and isn’t as classic as Violet.) As wonderful as Eleanora is, I think it’s a bit too frilly for Violet. That leaves us with Cecelia, Emmeline, Frances, Mabel, Theodora and Margot.

Cecelia: Etheral, gorgeous, and very much a classic. I like the “l” it shares with Violet, and I think this choice is very sophisticated and wears well on a baby and a grown woman. From your list of combos, my favorite is Cecilia Florence Cait. I like that your daughters would share both middle initials, and I think the flow of this name is absolutely perfect. I love the classic Florence with the modern Cait.

Emmeline: This name shares a syllable count and the “l” sound with Violet, and it is strong and gorgeous. My favorite combo is Emmeline Margot Cait. I’m liking this formula for you: Classic, classic, modern. I think it helps the name to have gravity and style. Emmeline Margot flows beautifully and has the shared “m,” and I like how each name has a long vowel sound.

Frances: Natural as Violet’s sister; yet another meaningful, tailored classic. Frances Aurora Niamh is unexpected, beautiful, and positively striking. I like Aurora as a middle for you.

Mabel: This is just about the PERFECT sibling to Violet. Tailored, sweet, doesn’t end in -a, vintage yet accessible. Mabel Cecelia Maeve is positively gorgeous; I love the “l” sounds, and I love the flow.

Margot: An equally perfect sibling to Violet, Margot is classic yet tailored and sweet, but also spunky! I love Margot Beatrix Cait. It has style and substance in droves, but I also like the edginess of it!

Theodora Lily Cait: At first I thought Theodora might be a bit long, but I reevaluated and decided that its vintage beauty definitely overruled that. I also like that you selected shorter middles with it, to keep it contemporary.

There are a lot of great names here.
After reading them all aloud I think [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] seems like the perfect sister to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Cara[/name_f].

My second would be [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f].

[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]

10

Really like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] as sisters! My fav combo would be [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f].

I am also really loving the imagery of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]! I’d choose [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f].

Side note: I love [name_f]Cait[/name_f], especially spelled this way :slight_smile:

11

Thank you for the in depth feedback!

12

I’m not going to lie your signature inspired [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]! Well, I stole it from you lol. I’m so glad that DH liked it too and it’s on our list.

13

I agree, I’m not too bothered about the middle initials (unless they spell out something bad) as I don’t think I’ve ever used mine. It’s always been JC - first and last name.

14

Thank you. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is absolutely stunning by the way!

15

Thank you for the in depth feedback!

As much as I love [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], I think I agree with what everyone is saying there. I’m still on the fence with [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] as I like the sound of them with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] when I say them out loud. Perhaps [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] would be a better fit, we just went with [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] as we’d probably use [name_f]Nora[/name_f] as a NN but it still works for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].

I’m surprised about the feedback on [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. We were torn between [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] with [name_f]Vi[/name_f] and had gotten a few comments that they’d work well as sister names, If we kept them for the future. I do agree that [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] in the middle spot is a good call however as we have [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] as strong contenders for a boy.

16

Thank you, we’ve chosen to spell it the original Irish way. We chose [name_f]Cara[/name_f] in [name_f]Violet[/name_f]’s name because it means friend in Gaelic (what DH would call her in bump form) and my side of the family is Irish.

17

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

We’re debating whether or not to keep [name_f]Margot[/name_f] as a middle name as it doesn’t seem to have any natural nicknames.

We had a bit of a family drama (you might remember) with [name_f]MIL[/name_f] not liking [name_f]Violet[/name_f]’s name which has lead to her calling her [name_f]Letty[/name_f]. I’d like to have a clear nickname or two thar we like for the chosen name, just in case. [name_f]MIL[/name_f] was insistent on calling [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Flick[/name_f] (from [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]) before and I can’t stand it!.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]

[name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is my favourite, but [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] as sibset is so amazing! [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] :slight_smile:
