ktgrok Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just in case we can't figure something out with Rose. We also like Violet. (and Emily, but if we do Emily it will be Emily Rose, so that's easy. Violet Rose would be not cool.) So, what goes with Violet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeepa Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Violet Grace Violet Elizabeth...too long? Those are the only ones my dd and I could come up with off the top of our heads. I love all three names though - Rose, Violet, and Emily!

Rosie_0801 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Unless you are going to go with "Grantham" (which sounds nicer than "Crawley,") Violet stands well alone, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 He hates Anne. Or at least doesn't like it. Also doesn't like Elizabeth, even though it was his favorite grandmother's name. He likes Roxanne, Scarlett, etc. I don't. He does like Grace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Violet Rose sounds good to me. I'm not kidding. The three syllables + one syllable have a nice rhythm. I know they're both flowers, but it doesn't strike me as ridiculous. Edited September 9, 2016 by chiguirre 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're both flowers, but it doesn't strike me as ridiculous. I'm actually glad to hear that. I think Rose Violet was too much, but Violet Rose does have a nice flow, doesn't it? i do think a once syllable name might be best. It SHOULD be Violet Anne, but he's a stink head. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I vote Violet Grace because you need to soft sound and meaning of Grace to offset a name with a "loud" semantic feel. (Think Vibrant or - sorry, but Violent. Lots of motion in those words.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 One thing to remember is that your daughter may not like floral names. Find something she can live with as a middle name. I have a friend who was given two very sweet names...but she's not a "sweetie"--she's a robust hearty gal...and she hated her name so much she changed it. I'd leave a little space for variety. (We did with my son and he likes his name but he also thinks he has a very *cool* middle name and would use it instead of his first if he hated the first.)

Meadowlark Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If I had another girl, she would be a Violet. Looks like that's not going to happen, so I'll give you my name :-) Violet Genevieve. This was my Godmother's name so it has special meaning to me. I also like Violet Grace for the reason someone else mentioned-Grace is soft and complements it very well. I have a Lila Grace and people comment on her name all the time.
