It's been my top girl name since I was little.

I love that it's easy to pronounce and spell but you still don't hear it very often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216668 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:54:20 +0000 Mrs.Scientist 2216668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: oohh I like Elsie. DH was pushing for both Elsa and Ellie earlier so he might like Elsie. I vetoed Elsa because of the association with Frozen and Ellie because I personally don't like it as a standalone name. When I suggested Eleanor aka Ellie his response was "too old" again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216662 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 16:48:18 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2216662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Scientist: or Elsie?

DH is the one that came up with Ada and I've said the same thing to him. Makes no sense to me!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: We would pronounce it Ee-vuh, just like you said. I like the other pronunciations but think it would get mispronounced too often spelled Eva.</p> <p>@Raspberries: I love the sound of Cora Violet but I have a feeling it is not DH's style. We had no problem naming DS but trying to come up with a name for DD has been a nightmare </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216609 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:50:01 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2216609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think ada is beautiful and unique! Olivia is a beautiful name too but so so common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216608 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:49:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2216608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eva! </p> <p>How will you pronounce it?</p> <p>My girl name of choice is Evangeline and I would say E-vuh (the e sound is the letter E). But I've heard it other ways too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216607 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:48:53 +0000 Anya 2216607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Ada Violet! (Although how is it that Violet is too "old" for your DH but Ada isn't? Lol!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216606 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:48:09 +0000 HabesBabe 2216606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of any of those three w/ Violet as a middle name. I love all 4 of those names on their own, but I don't think they flow well (especially not Eva and Olivia). I think Adia Violet is better sounding than Ada Violet-- 3 syllables would be good for a first name, sound-wise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216605 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:47:36 +0000 raspberries 2216605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Cora Violet? It has the same kind of vibe without repeating Vs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216601 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:43:45 +0000 Bubbles 2216601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Eva Violet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-help-1#post-2216598 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:37:21 +0000 Mrs.Scientist 2216598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I will be welcoming a baby girl in just a few weeks and are having trouble settling on a name we both like. I am in love with the name Violet but he refuses to allow it to be the first name because he thinks it sounds "too old." :( He has agreed to it as a middle name, however. Although we've changed our minds numerous times, the names that we're currently both agreeing on are:</p> <p>Eva Violet (nn Evie)<br /> Olivia Violet (nn Livvy...we really like this but aren't super enthusiastic about the current popularity of Olivia)<br /> Ada Violet</p> <p>Which do you prefer or do they not work together at all? I'm a little concerned about all the "v" sounds. Other suggestions of something that goes with Violet that is not "too old" sounding? </p>
