I’m torn. They’re both pretty similar, but I can’t seem to decide! Amélie honors my great-grandma and my best friend, while [name_f]Kate[/name_f] honors my mom (and great grandma).
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (or maybe [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Edith[/name_f]. [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is about 97% set, though.)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
I’m not 100% set on [name_f]Kate[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]–I’ve thought about [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? I’m not sure any of them really do [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] justice.
Thank you, birchwood! I just worry that anything short and sweet is almost too expected/predictable, and it sort of waters down the elegance/beauty of [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] for me. I thought of maybe a longer family name, like [name_f]Helene[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], or [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], but I don’t really like any of those with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f].
I think I would go with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], based on the fact that it honors family/friends. Although I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is STUNNING!
My favorites are [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], slightly preferring [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I adore [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
@hkelsi - I think you’re confusing the two? [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] doesn’t honor any friends–that would be Amélie. Although [name_u]Grey[/name_u] does honor my grandma (whose MN is [name_f]Grace[/name_f]). I’m also considering promoting either [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] or Amélie to a FN position–possibly whichever I don’t use with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I know [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] would be [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u], but I’m not sure for Amélie. Maybe Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] something. I do like the two together.
@[name_u]Jean[/name_u] - how do you feel if it’s [name_f]AmAlia[/name_f] rather than [name_f]AmElia[/name_f]? I’m still not very fond of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] at all, lol, but I love Amélie (the [name_m]French[/name_m] form) and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] (a [name_m]German[/name_m] (I think) name that [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is derived from). (So I guess, @hkelsi, that [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] could honor my great grandma and best friend, but it almost seems too far removed to honor Amélie. From [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] to [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] to Amélie…) And strangely enough, even if I could get behind [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], for some reason I really don’t like it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], but not [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].
I prefer [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] over [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f].
But I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] trumps them both and is the definite standout.
I find [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] to be boring, Amélie to be sweet, and [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] to be strong which is why I prefer it.
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] has a little of everything, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] feels a little nature-y, gentle, kind and happy, [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] strikes me as strong, confidant and capable, and [name_u]Grey[/name_u] has a sophistication and refinement. Together the names work together and aren’t burdensome which sometimes happens when there are two middles.
I’m sorry. I knew it was [name_f]Amalia[/name_f], just typed [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]. It is automatic because I have typed [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] so many times for myself but not [name_f]Amalia[/name_f]. Now, personally I also adore [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f].
I do love [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], too. [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is sweet. I never thought of it with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]? I’m not sure why. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is gorgeous, now that I think of it. Maybe I should add that to the mix, lol.
Oops. Definitely read that wrong. I really like [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. What about Amélie [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? or Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]?
I’m suppose to be helping you narrow things down, not add names. My new order would be; [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f].
ha, well, I was pretty successfully narrowing it down on my own. I pretty much had it back to just [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] when little miss [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] came along. I’ve been thinking about [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] as a FN, lately, too, since an [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] came along at work recently. I don’t know if I love it more than [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], though.
So I guess it’s now down to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] is still in the running, but probably not with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I might do something like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], or [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]? I love [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] together!
I would choose [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as it honors both family and friends, flows well, and all three names are gorgeous. I also like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]
I think if [name_u]Grey[/name_u] can honour a [name_f]Grace[/name_f] then [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] can honour an [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. I much prefer your [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] combinations than [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]. Is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] an honour name? It seems out of place to me in [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. Why not [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]? or [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]?
I would honestly use [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f].
(I do agree that [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is stunning, though, ahem, the initials threw me off at first, but [name_u]Grey[/name_u] as a third name begins to look like the first of a double barelled last name! Too bad it wouldn’t be her whole name!)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] on its own is stunning. Really, it’s a very pretty combo. I tend to stumble over names with two middles and I’ve never met anyone that has two middle names that was happy about it. Heh. But, if you must, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is just fine. I would not use two color names together, and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] seems boring. [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] is too much for me…it takes forever to say and does not flow together well.
I really like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] however I also think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is stunning.
They’re both pretty similar, but I can’t seem to decide! Amélie honors my great-grandma and my best friend, while [name_f]Kate[/name_f] honors my mom (and great grandma).
I really like [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. What about Amélie [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? or Amélie [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]?
