Such a tough choice but I went with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] in the end. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is amazing!! [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] were close contenders
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]!
Congratulations!
I particularly love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] as a sister to [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
All stunning! My top pick for you would be [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] — [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] together make for a perfect, but quietly quirky and unexpected, sister set and I like the fact that both would have one middle with a “joyful” meaning plus one four-letter C middle. It would be a sweet connection between the two.
Good luck; I hope all goes smoothly for the rest of your pregnancy!
My favorites of your options are [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. All of them give me the same warm, feminine, classy vibe as [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I included my thoughts on middles below.
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]: [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] are both nice.
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]: [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] might be my very favorite, but I also love love [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f].
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]: [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is my favorite, but [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is also nice. I am not into any of your other [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] combos because they seem sort of like a style mismatch, but I can get behind [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] with a traditional first like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] are runners up. I really love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] with your [name_f]Violet[/name_f] combo, but none of the middle options are speaking to me.
Good luck! You have so many wonderful options here to choose from. I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly.
I really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. The two names give me the same vibes.
My favorites are [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] & [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]!!
They are all lovely names, and all work well with sister [name_f]Violet[/name_f] - you cannot go wrong with any of them to be honest.
Personally, my favourite of the bunch, is [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. Of your two [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] combos, I like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], however, if able to mix-and-match a little, [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] would be gorgeous!
I voted for [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] but would say [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are strong choices in the first name spot as well. It kind of depends on the vibe you are going for.
Favorite combos are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (though I think [name_f]Cait[/name_f] works here too.)
I love love love a lot of your names with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] :). My top favourites would be [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but ultimately [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] won. I love the combo [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] the most, followed by [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f].
I vote for [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f], but I also like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
We’ve considered [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], I’ve just forgotten to include it lol.
I love [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f][name_f]Margot[/name_f][name_f]Cait[/name_f] gets my vote and goes great with [name_f]Violet[/name_f][name_f]Felicity[/name_f][name_f]Cara[/name_f].
My favorites for each of your pairings are:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] is wonderful! She got my vote. 
I also like [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f].
Thanks everyone! You’re all so lovely and helpful.
I think we have a shortlist in mind. We love [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (I was almost [name_f]Violet[/name_f]’s name) but we thought about it and our top boy names (just in case, for the future) clash with it a bit so we’re going to keep it as a middle name option. I was stuck on [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] as a combo before but I think [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] works well too (both the English and Irish pronunciations)
I’ll update our list in the original post.
My vote goes to [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f] - I think it’s adorable that the sisters would have distinct, vintage first names while sharing the F.C. middle initials.
I voted for [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] as I really like the combo [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]. But I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] with [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] too.
I voted for [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]…same length as [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & same sweetly vintage but not sickly sweet feel, if that makes any sense!
For combinations I like…
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
And a suggestion of
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] [name_f]Cait[/name_f]
Good luck!
