Violet reminds me too much of Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I have a niece named Daisy and my daughters name is VERY similar. lemondrop on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-708439 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:08:00 +0000 lemondrop 708439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just keep thinking of naming a child Mrs. Hughes from the OP, it makes me giggle :) I do really like Elsie! I love Sybil and Cora! Violet and Anna are great too :) Mrs. Champagne on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-708415 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 708415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Don;t think I;d use any but I like Violet and Daisy. avivoca on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-708248 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:25:24 +0000 avivoca 708248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If we didn't already have a girls name, I would totally name LO Violet Isobel if it's a girl. littlebittyhouse on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-708195 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:10:44 +0000 littlebittyhouse 708195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Top Picks: Anna Cora Violet Lavinia I've heard a lot of buzz about the name Cora lately and it is in two shows DA and Once Upon a Time! cheesetomywhine on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-708136 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:54:11 +0000 cheesetomywhine 708136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love a bunch of these names. Total lover of old-fashioned names. Edith, Isobel, Ivy, Cora, Rosamund, Mary (had a pup named this), Thomas, John, and Charles are all lovely. I also like Lavinia but not the nicknames.

We were really close to going with Edith, but a few family members didn't like it. (And, lesson learned about sharing names while pregnant!) I also love Violet, but DH didn't like it.

The only one that has any possibility of DH being on board though is Cora! illumina on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-704618 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:20:33 +0000 illumina 704618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd use Anna and Violet, but they wouldn't be my first choices... maybe for future LO's.

It would sound terrible with my last name though. lawbee11 on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-704531 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:59:47 +0000 lawbee11 704531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I loveeee Cora! I tried to get DH on board with it, but he vetoed it. I also love Lavinia, but I feel like we're not sophisticated enough to use it!

And Anna is our first choice if LO is a girl.

It was my step father's mother's name and they called her Edie.

But none of them are actually on my short list. Charles, Violet, and Matthew are some of my favorites, but DH vetoed them. I especially love Violet. @T.H.O.U.: You are in for some good TV watching with Season 3. You'll need to be really careful to avoid spoilers, don't click on any links about DA at all at this point!

As for men, I love William (my bro's name) and Alfred.

My husband doesn't like "old" names so I'd have a hard time convincing him of some of these.

Of those, I think DH would only agree to Anna. Sarah was on our short list for LO, but the only first/middle names we liked were "A" names. Her initials or monogram would be ASS... And that's cruel. yellowbird on "Any names you would use from Downton Abbey?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-names-you-would-use-from-downton-abbey#post-704361 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 08:19:04 +0000 yellowbird 704361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LOs name is Annalie Violet! Apparently I like their style. I've never seen it though.

I have decided I love the name Cora! I also think it goes well with my daughters name. For those that don't watch the show names of characters include: Robert Charles Carson John Bates Mary Sarah Anna Mrs. Hughes (wow I guess they never give her first name?) Cora (love this!) Violet Edith Thomas Daisy Mrs. Patmore Matthew Isobel Tom Branson Sybil Josheph Ethel Lavinia Anthony Richard Rosamund
