So baby is 2 weeks away and we just can’t commit to a name! We have a [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and I just fell in love with her name so early on that its scaring me that I don’t absolutely adore a name already.
My husband is obsessed with [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] but something about it doesn’t seem 100’percent to me. I have always loved [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but he’s not 100 percent about that one : (
We keep going back and forth with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Or do we start all over! I didn’t want anything too common and definitely like the romantic names.
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] & [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are both beautiful as well. Personally, I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] better than [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and it is so versatile with nn options like [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] or even Loi (lo-ee) or [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. Another [name_f]El[/name_f] name I would love with [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is [name_f]Elena[/name_f].
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] flows better. I think [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sound a lot like sisters! Good luck!
Out of the two names you have chosen I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] best. I think it fits better with [name_f]Mila[/name_f] also.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are lovely and they both make a great sibset with [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. It’s up to you and your husband to decide which name will be your daughter’s first and which will be her middle name.
Your husband’s not sure about [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] so what about [name_f]Louise[/name_f]? [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_f]Louise[/name_f] fit just as good and she can have [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as a middle. Here are sime similar suggestions:
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Luane[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] for sure! ([name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought: The name [name_f]Viola[/name_f]? I actually like your choices better, but maybe a good compromise for the classic [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] and the lovely [name_f]Violet[/name_f] flower…? [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought though. [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] are both beautiful! :))
Both names are pretty! [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ranks significantly higher up on the SSA list (50 as opposed to 256, I think?), but I vastly prefer it to [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. I do like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], but I don’t think I’ll ever get to the point where I love [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] enough that I want to use her? Plus, I think [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] sound perfect together! [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] sound a bit more mismatched to me.
Thanks everyone! I think the main reason hubby hesitates towards [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is the lack of nicknames. Seems silly but he just doesn’t like [name_f]Vi[/name_f]. He’s a nickname man!
I personally like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] better but am definitely intrigued by [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. It was never a name I thought I would like but the more little girls I meet named [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] the more my mind is changed. And like most of you said [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] would be so cute.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] has my heart but I just wish there were more nickname options!
If you are not 100 percent on [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], have you considered [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Eloisa[/name_f], or [name_f]Louisa[/name_f]?
I agree with everyone that both names are lovely, but my hesitation over [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] is precisely BECAUSE of the nickname options. [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f] etc are very cute, but they are SO POPULAR because of the wide range of names you can shorten to one of them, plus the popularity of [name_f]Ella[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] themselves. Also, if you really want a nickname, you can call [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]. You could also call [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] Lo or [name_f]Lolo[/name_f] or [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_f]Lolly[/name_f].
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] is adorable – do you call her by a nickname? [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] or something else? If not, why not just call [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]? I believe that these days, most Violets are called [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and not [name_f]Vi[/name_f]! Or maybe [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]? Pronounced to rhyme with divvy…
But even though you disagree, you and your husband are not that far apart. At least you’re not saying [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] while he’s saying…[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]!
