Just for reference....Violet Louise Lumber ( not it of course but its two harsh syllables) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686913 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 23:22:46 +0000 LCTBQE 2686913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coral: Louise is what I thought of before I even clicked on your thread! re double initial, it wouldn't even occur to me that this is a problem. A double L would probably sound really musical and nice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686902 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 22:47:22 +0000 Coral 2686902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for the suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686674 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 16:27:20 +0000 Ms. RV 2686674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eve came to mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686584 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 15:14:47 +0000 jhd 2686584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Violet is on my list too. :heart: I think Violet Louise is beautiful and I wouldn't worry about the L middle name and L last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686543 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:45:05 +0000 lioneyes 2686543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like violet louise! or violet jane. fwiw, my middle name and maiden name have the same initial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686532 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:36:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2686532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I love your point about monograms! So true.</p> <p>I like Mae with Violet. No particular reason, just like it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686531 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:36:28 +0000 LemonJack 2686531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love family names as middle names, so my vote is for Louise. I don't think it will sound weird with an L last name at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686527 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:34:32 +0000 LulaBee 2686527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: :grin: </p> <p>I love Violet Louise. But I don't mind names that have the same letters- my second is HEH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686519 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:26:01 +0000 erinbaderin 2686519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was Violet Grace - I like the single syllable with the longer first name. That being said I wouldn't worry at all about the middle and last name both starting with L, if Louise is meaningful to you then go with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686517 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:23:50 +0000 Truth Bombs 2686517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A person's full name is said so infrequently I think choosing a middle name that is meaningful is way more important than the perfect name flow. That being said, both my children have middle names that start with the same letter as our last name (and are both meaningful family names as well). Excuse my Southerness but I actually love it because the monogram is the same whether you do first middle last or first last middle so you can't mess it up :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686515 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:22:15 +0000 pwnstar 2686515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My preference is for a one-syllable middle name to follow a three-syllable first name:</p> <p>Violet Jane/James<br /> Violet June<br /> Violet Claire<br /> Violet Rose (double flower)<br /> Violet Grace<br /> Violet Anne </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686511 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2686511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest Mae/May too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686507 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:16:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2686507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD's initials are RKK so VLL wouldn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686502 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:14:44 +0000 MamaCate 2686502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was Violet Amelia. Not sure why.</p> <p>But, I think if you love Louise and it has a special meaning, I would go for it! We don't typically use all three names a lot in day to day life so i don't think the alliteration is a big issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686499 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:11:14 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2686499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really like Violet Louise! </p> <p>Other options for middle name could be Grace, Mae/May, Ann/Anne. I tend to lean towards one syllable middle names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/middle-name-for-violet#post-2686492 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 14:02:39 +0000 Coral 2686492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not TTC until spring but I ran down a list of girl names with DH and he actually really liked Violet. I would love to do the middle name Louise to honor my grandmother but our last name also ends in "l" and I think it might sound weird. Anyway, what middle names would you suggest for Violet? Do you think Violet Louise sounds good? (That would be Violet Louise L________. I would like to avoid a floral middle name. :happy: Thanks! (Edit: We already have a boy named picked out.) </p>
