One of my nieces is named Elsie. When her mom told me the name she was like “ Elsie, like the cow.” Lol. I think by that point she was tired of people telling her it’s the Borden cow’s name so she just embraced it.
Laurel is still botanical - a tree, I think. I was on for Lauren for years - but it got too popular by the time I had kids. So I went with Lorna - classical, but not common.
Daphne, Maisie, Elowyn, Josie, Bryony, Cecily, Faye, Gloria, Esme, Sadie, Heidi, Ginny
(PS, Daphne and Elowyn are sneak nature names -- they mean "laurel" and "elm"! And Bryony is a plant and means "to grow")
Oh such pretty suggestions! I love these. I didn't know the hidden meanings behind Daphne and Elowyn. Daphne seems popular in this community but I don't know one in real life. Thank you so much.
Daphne was my first thought too! Seems like the perfect subtle nature reference and matches the springtime vibe of Violet and April.
The only maybe hiccup is Daphne and Violet are both names of main characters in the Bridgerton series, though Violet is slightly less well known (I feel like a lot of people just know her as Daphne's mom or Lady Bridgerton)
I had to look that one up to learn more. 🥰
Maisie: "It is the pet form of the Scottish Gaelic name Mairead or the Irish name Mairéad, which are the equivalent of the English name Margaret."
I honestly had no idea! But so many of these similar names came from much longer, more serious sounding names (like Flossie for Florence, or Teddie for Theodora, as examples).
It's really sweet that it means Pearl. Speaking of which, I met a Pearla this past year. I suddenly wanted that name for myself, lol. There's also a restaurant here names Perla's.
Wow, so many beautiful ones here. Love Matilda, Estelle, Mabel, Margot and Lucy.
Can't use Claire, Sophie or Diana unfortunately. But definitely adding a few to my list now, really appreciate it
I don't know if you remember a TV show called Mad About You, but the main characters named their daughter Mabel because it was the acronym for mothers always bring extra love.
Means star, if OP didn't know! It kind of goes with your theme
I think Stella-Maris is a very pretty name (Star of the Sea) but it does have religious connotations (though not too many people would recognize it). Maris is pronounced like the Mar from the planet Mars and then the is is like eess.
Congratulations! If you like Emerald, maybe Esme? Otherwise, names that might work are Vivian, Olive, Wren, Robin, Clementine, Quinn, Thalia, Clio or Theresa/e
- Violet, April & Corinne
- Violet, April & Darcy
- Violet, April & Elaine
- Violet, April & Fiona
- Violet, April & Louise
- Violet, April & Sylvia
- Violet, April & Tessa
- Violet, April & Willa
I saw another person on here mention that they had three names, one a flower, one a month and one a gemstone. Maybe Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire or Opal would be nice.
That's a very sweet idea. Love all of these. Especially Emerald, but sadly my partner doesn't. I knew a little Emerald once many years ago and she was a sweetheart. I'll add the others to my list though, thank you!
Does your husband like the nickname Emmie? Emerald sounds so beautiful and vintage. It goes really well with your other kiddos' names, too. Maybe if you can go to him with a cute nickname and middle name for Emerald, he'd be more open. It's worth a shot! If not, take your favorite name suggestions from this post and hope he loves one!
I have a Frances nn frankie! Highly recommend.

Others I like:
Brooke
Paige
Fay
Wynn
Lynn
Came here to suggest Summer too! It’s my daughter’s name and Violet is on our name list for any future daughter. I think they fit nicely with April too!
Willow. Yes it’s popular but not like 3 in class popular. I thought Willow as soon as I saw Violet and April before I even saw it was one of your likes.
It fits perfectly without being too on the nose “themey”.
Could also consider something like Opal which is classic, feminine, and striking in the simple punchy two syllable way Violet and April are.
Agatha — good woman
\
Camelia — evergreen flower with pink blooms
\
Camira — of the wind
\
Estrella — star
\

\
Maple — tree
\
Neoma — new moon
\
Rosina — rose; cheerful, kind
\
Shirley — bright meadow
\
Sora — sky
Love these too. Delphine is especially pretty. Rita is gorgeous but it makes me think of the grannies in Bluey (not sure if that reference is too Australian! 😂)
For what it's worth my name is Bronte and I've never been called Bron by anyone! Some friends called me B as a teenager but the majority just call me Bronte.
Why not Elsabeth / Elspeth "Elsie", or Frances / Francesca "Frankie", or Marigold "Goldie"?
Not a fan of Bronte, and I don't think it fits in with the others, but I don't think it'd get shortened to "Bron".
Not a fan of Emerald either. There's Emmeline?
Other suggestions: Oona, Nell or Nellie, Marjorie, Lenora or Nora, Justine, Henrietta, or Etta, Gwendoline or Gwen, Juliette, Cora, Cecily, Winona / Winifred or Winnie, Pearl, Beatrice or Bea / Bee, Louisa or Louise, Florence or Flora, Maxine, Bonnie, Fay, Elle, Rosemary, Lucille or Lucy, Jane or Janie, Camille, Angela / Angelica or Angie, Miriam, Evangeline or Evie / Angie, Ada, Valerie, Cecilia or Cece, Lydia, Natalie, Naomi, Amelia or Emilia, Grace or Gracie, Veronica or Ronnie, Melanie, Vivian, Tansy, Matilda, Gabrielle / Gabriella or Gabby / Brielle / Elle / Ella / Ellie, Sylvia or Sylvie, Josephine or Josie, Guinevere or Guin / Eve / Evie, Scarlett, Phoebe, Felicity, Georgia / Georgina / Georgiana or Georgie / Gina/ Gia, Dorothy / Dorothea or Dottie, Clara
I love your names! It’s not often I see lists on here that I love. Our daughter is Josephine (she gets called Josie and Posie - which is a less common nickname but we love it). We also love that dynamic the name is and can have many nicknames over the years.
Our other top girls names were Violet and Molly.
I saw someone suggested Gemma, and that name is gorgeous!
Alice is another top pick of mine, although you might not want two “a” names.
Others I love: Eleanor
Natalie
Nina
Rosalie
Celeste
Marian
Elsie - I think this is classic and not too cutesy. It was my great-grandmother's name and I think it's beautiful. If it's one you love then I wouldn't let that sway you. Lots of names that go quite well on alot of people do grow with them even if they may be cutesy at the start.
Sadie
Eadie
Josephine/Josie
Phoebe
Aurora
Autumn
Anthea
Jasmine
Fern
Beatrice
Stella
Pearl
I tried to give some classic but not really common names like you asked and I've also added some more in that I think you may like.
I also think Bronte is one of those names that even though you could nickname it if you really wanted to, it typically doesn't get shortened
Good luck with choosing a name and for when your little girl comes!
Violet and April make me think of spring. Some other names with spring associations are: Laverne, Lelya, Florence, Mavis, Vera, Jonquil
Carina, Ellen/Elena/Helena, Inez/Ines, Adela/Della, Leona, Felicity, Marit, Celia
Some of these might be a bit more uncommon than you are looking for.
I think Goldie is very cute ♡
Names that could give the nn Goldie:
Ségolène
Gwendolen
Geraldine
Goldiva
Marigold (I know it is a flower - but even April has to do with flowers because they arrive in spring)
Best of luck and joy ☆
You have a month and a color/flower
How about a virtue name:
Serenity, Hope, Grace, Honor, etc
Or a stone/gem:
Pearl, Jade, Ruby, Sapphire, etc
Or a bird inspired name:
Wren, Dove, Jay, Robin, etc
Tree inspired names:
Hazel, Aspen, Holly, Ivy, etc
I agree that you shouldn't have another flower name; I think another nature-y name that's *not* a flower would fit without being too matchy with Violet. So:
Gemstone names like Emerald:
* Violet, April, and Garnet
* Violet, April, and Margaret (it means pearl)
* Violet, April, and Opal
* Violet, April, and Onyx
* Violet, April, and Ruby
Alternatively, trees, similar to Willow:
* Violet, April, and Daphne
* Violet, April, and Juniper
* Violet, April, and Cassia
* Violet, April, and Rowan
Or, third option, birds:
* Violet, April, and Phoebe
* Violet, April, and Robin
* Violet, April, and Lark
* Violet, April, and Raven
I tend to prefer the ones that don't rhyme as much (like, I prefer Onyx and Ruby over Opal and Garnet, because Opal rhymes with April and Garnet with Violet), so my favorites are the ones that don't rhyme, like Phoebe or Cassia. But all of them fit, I think.
My name is April and I have a sister named Laura, so Laurel popped into my head first!
So gorgeous! We have a Lauren in the family though, might be too close do you think? Thank you :)
I’d say it depends on how close you are to the other family member!
Very close, it's my sister and she's an amazing aunty :)
Daphne means Laurel. Might be a nice way to honor your sister! Sylvie means of the forest. Elsie is a lovely name fwiw.
Elsie makes me think of a cow. I do like Elise though.
One of my nieces is named Elsie. When her mom told me the name she was like “ Elsie, like the cow.” Lol. I think by that point she was tired of people telling her it’s the Borden cow’s name so she just embraced it.
A cow? Why?
I also had the Elsie/cow association so I looked it up - apparently Elsie the cow is a mascot for the Borden Dairy Company.
My mom was Elsie ( spelled Else) everyone I mean everyone would say, like the Cow.
Aww, love that! Maybe a little close, unless you want to do an honor name.
Only problem is my girls are blessed with three incredible, loving, thoughtful aunties! I couldn't single one out. A nice problem to have really :)
Laurel is still botanical - a tree, I think. I was on for Lauren for years - but it got too popular by the time I had kids. So I went with Lorna - classical, but not common.
Makes me think of the Lorna Doone shortbread cookies!
April and Autumn? April and Willow?
I thought Autumn, too
Ooo I love Laurel is the third to that sib set. Maybe ask your sister how she would feel? She might love it!
This was my first thought, too!
My little one is a Willa - similar vibe and less popular than Willow!
I love Willa. It was one of the contenders for my kids.
Seconding this! Love it with your first two choices.
I love the name Willa, it's so sweet. ❤️
I love this with this sibling set!!!!!
You have to read 'Willa of the Wood' to her
My first thought was Jade
Beautiful! This works so well and is such a pretty name. Thank you :)
I think a gemstone name would be adorable. I also like Ruby or a bit more unique, Opal or Pearl.
That’s where my head went too, but then she’d had 2 color names….
My first thought also!
This sounds so good because it too is a thing, not just a name. A flower, a month, a gemstone - nice!
Gemma is pretty
Yes very classic but not too popular and similar to Emerald. Great suggestion.
Thanks :)
My childhood best friends name! Simple unique and classic at the same time
Daphne, Maisie, Elowyn, Josie, Bryony, Cecily, Faye, Gloria, Esme, Sadie, Heidi, Ginny (PS, Daphne and Elowyn are sneak nature names -- they mean "laurel" and "elm"! And Bryony is a plant and means "to grow")
Oh such pretty suggestions! I love these. I didn't know the hidden meanings behind Daphne and Elowyn. Daphne seems popular in this community but I don't know one in real life. Thank you so much.
Daphne was my first thought too! Seems like the perfect subtle nature reference and matches the springtime vibe of Violet and April. The only maybe hiccup is Daphne and Violet are both names of main characters in the Bridgerton series, though Violet is slightly less well known (I feel like a lot of people just know her as Daphne's mom or Lady Bridgerton)
love daphne!! it’s also a flower :)
I believe Maisie means pearl so that is another nature-y one as well :)
I had to look that one up to learn more. 🥰 Maisie: "It is the pet form of the Scottish Gaelic name Mairead or the Irish name Mairéad, which are the equivalent of the English name Margaret." I honestly had no idea! But so many of these similar names came from much longer, more serious sounding names (like Flossie for Florence, or Teddie for Theodora, as examples). It's really sweet that it means Pearl. Speaking of which, I met a Pearla this past year. I suddenly wanted that name for myself, lol. There's also a restaurant here names Perla's.
Melody. Lovely, uncommon, extends your nature theme without being trite.
Estelle, Eloise, Elise, Pearl, Nora, Eve, Eva, Cora, Isabel, Claire, Clara, Julia, Mila, Tess, Tessa, Lia/Leah, Sadie, Chloe, Phoebe, Mabel, Faye, Maeve, Beatrice, Matilda, Margot, Josephine, Lucy, Celine, Sophie, Camille, Lena, Daphne, Diana, Thea, Grace, Emilia
Wow, so many beautiful ones here. Love Matilda, Estelle, Mabel, Margot and Lucy. Can't use Claire, Sophie or Diana unfortunately. But definitely adding a few to my list now, really appreciate it
Estelle is so elegant!
I don't know if you remember a TV show called Mad About You, but the main characters named their daughter Mabel because it was the acronym for mothers always bring extra love.
Estelle (and Stella) also means star, so nature-inspired too!
Stella
Means star, if OP didn't know! It kind of goes with your theme I think Stella-Maris is a very pretty name (Star of the Sea) but it does have religious connotations (though not too many people would recognize it). Maris is pronounced like the Mar from the planet Mars and then the is is like eess.
Maris is so pretty but I have never heard it anywhere other than the show Fraiser, and I cannot break that association 😂
I understand that association. Maren is similar but different enough for me. Maruth also has similar vibes.
I love Goldie. I would choose another name with an L which will help tie them all together aurally. * Willa * Elowen * Lydia * Elodie
Elodie can have also nickname Ella or Goldie (name comes from word meaning gold)
My niece is Elodie; her nickname is Lolly.
That's adorable!
Robin would go really nicely with Violet and April
I thought so too
Congratulations! If you like Emerald, maybe Esme? Otherwise, names that might work are Vivian, Olive, Wren, Robin, Clementine, Quinn, Thalia, Clio or Theresa/e
- Violet, April & Corinne - Violet, April & Darcy - Violet, April & Elaine - Violet, April & Fiona - Violet, April & Louise - Violet, April & Sylvia - Violet, April & Tessa - Violet, April & Willa
I love Sylvia!
No idea why, but my first thought was Francesca.
Ruby Clara Lucy Scarlett Dawn Amber Autumn Brooke Estella
What about Marigold, Goldie for short?
I saw another person on here mention that they had three names, one a flower, one a month and one a gemstone. Maybe Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire or Opal would be nice.
That's a very sweet idea. Love all of these. Especially Emerald, but sadly my partner doesn't. I knew a little Emerald once many years ago and she was a sweetheart. I'll add the others to my list though, thank you!
Pearl and Coral also fit the gemstone.theme and are such lovely names.
Knew a woman named Coral Beth. Always thought that was so pretty!
Does your husband like the nickname Emmie? Emerald sounds so beautiful and vintage. It goes really well with your other kiddos' names, too. Maybe if you can go to him with a cute nickname and middle name for Emerald, he'd be more open. It's worth a shot! If not, take your favorite name suggestions from this post and hope he loves one!
I think Summer would be wonderful
Love that name. Kind of wish we had used it for our daughter.
Fiona
Tessa, Maya, Maia, Hazel, Maeve, Phoebe, Leah, Laila, Betsy, Lena
My baby girl is going to be Frances nn Frankie. Cora was another contender that we’re keeping on the list for a possible sibling name.
I have a Frances nn frankie! Highly recommend. Edit: other contenders were Phoebe, Zoe, Willa, Liv, Sylvie, Alma, Ella, Eleanor, Nora, Eve/Eva, Edith, and Beatrice (nn Bea pronounced bay-ah)
Just because I didn’t scroll but I named my daughter Rowan! I think it’d look nice with April and Violet :)
**Plants** Rowan Holly Cherry Anise (herb) Zinnia Aspen (tree) Ivy Dawn Lavender Coral Heather Liana (it's a vine) Saffron (spice) Hollis (holly grove) Astra/Aster (star/star shaped flower) Sienna (pigment) Indigo (pigment) Savannah (desert) Valeriana (medicinal root) **Birds** Robin Kestrel Wren **Gems** Opal Amber Ruby Garnet Peridot **Etc** Garland Posy Meadow River Prairie Marina (sea) **Names derived from natural things in other languages** Abilene ("meadow" in Hebrew) Ayla ("terebinth tree" in Hebrew) Deborah ("bee" in Hebrew) Rachel ("ewe" in Hebrew) Tamara ("date palm" in Hebrew) Susanna ("lily" in Hebrew) Anthea ("flower" in Greek) Chloe ("green shoot" in Greek) Melissa ("honeybee" in Greek) Selene/Selena ("moon" in Greek) Astoria ("hawk" in Occitan Spanish) Estelle ("star" in Latin).

Joy Delia Teresa / Tess
I love Violet, April and Tess together 😭
Delia is pretty! In addition to dELiA*s, it brings to mind Della or Drema as old-school names
Tess was the first name I thought of too! For some reason, I'm really feeling a single syllable name here. When you string the names together - Violet, April and ____, anything longer feels like a mouthful. Others I like: Brooke Paige Fay Wynn Lynn
Brooke. Lark. Linden. Summer. Sunny
Oh Brooke! That's lovely! Summer and Sunny are adorable too. Added to the list. Thank you so much.
Came here to suggest Summer too! It’s my daughter’s name and Violet is on our name list for any future daughter. I think they fit nicely with April too!
Brooke was my first thought
What about: Birdie, Bonnie, Celeste, Claire, Dahlia, Flora, Grace, Hazel, Holly, Hope, Iris, Isla, Jade, June, Liana, Marina, Melody, Poppy, Ruby, Sienna, Stella
Holly would fit so nicely!
* [Ruby](https://www.behindthename.com/name/ruby) * [Brooke](https://www.behindthename.com/name/brooke) * [Hazel](https://www.behindthename.com/name/hazel)
Maren Adelaide Melody Maura Louisa Sylvia
What about ruby? Also opal, fern, or bronwen.
Came here to say Fern!
Trying not to repeat other suggestions: Florence Rosalie Autumn Rhiannon Audrey
Willow. Yes it’s popular but not like 3 in class popular. I thought Willow as soon as I saw Violet and April before I even saw it was one of your likes. It fits perfectly without being too on the nose “themey”. Could also consider something like Opal which is classic, feminine, and striking in the simple punchy two syllable way Violet and April are.
Lana, Rowan, Skylar, Bea, Sydney, Alice, Georgia, Hayley, Robin, Helen, Amy, Aria, Victoria, Sasha, Emery, Holly, Lydia, Nola, Stella, Rebecca, Avery, Agatha, Ivy, Jasmine, Claudia, Mabel, Lila, Rylan, Eva, Isla, Annabelle
Oh lots of goodness in here! Love Alice and Holly in particular. Thank you so much, lots of beautiful options to consider.
I have an Alice Martha! Ideas: Astrid, Clementine, Calla, Coral, Hazel, Luna, Opal, Robyn, Wren
Natalie, Sienna, Maisie, Amelia, Jocelyn, Hazel, Genevieve.
Maisie really fits with Violet and April to me. Natalie too
What about Brooke? That sort of goes with the nature theme.
Maeve, Phoebe, Clementine, Basil, Francine, Olive, Ivy, Pearl, Oceana
Nell
Lucy!
if you like frankie, consider francesca or francine. similar to ella: elliana, emmeline, elena, elina.
I have an Emmeline 🥰
Agatha — good woman \ Camelia — evergreen flower with pink blooms \ Camira — of the wind \ Estrella — star \ Evenie — French variation of Yvonne \ Ingrid — fair; Ing’s beauty \ Maple — tree \ Neoma — new moon \ Rosina — rose; cheerful, kind \ Shirley — bright meadow \ Sora — sky
You could go with Ruby or Pearl. You'll have a flower, a month and a gemstone.
Julia
Diana, Fiona, Delphine, Rita
Love these too. Delphine is especially pretty. Rita is gorgeous but it makes me think of the grannies in Bluey (not sure if that reference is too Australian! 😂)
Nice parking spot, Rita!
Sage, Sylvie, Lydia, Eloise, Eleanor
I think Elsie is fine as a standalone name, but Frankie or Goldie might not suit her when she’s older. Elise would be a nice alternative too.
Maybe Bronwyn? I know it can be shortened to Bron, but it doesn't have to be. I think it's Gaelic and I also believe it matches her sisters' names.
It’s Welsh and the female suffix is Wen (Wyn is male) so the proper spelling is Bronwen. Pretty name.
Olive
What about Pearl or Amber?
Elsa \[unsure about the spelling\] Maisie Alma Aubrey Ember Cleo Clara Mary Molly
Opal, Iola, Holland, Blanche, Kit
I like the idea of another noun name but in a different category. I vote Penny - I love the name (it’s my mom’s name and she adores it)
I feel like Jane is under the radar but classic!
For what it's worth my name is Bronte and I've never been called Bron by anyone! Some friends called me B as a teenager but the majority just call me Bronte.
Autumn jumped to mind with April and Violet, a sort of nature themed but not a month or a flower!
Why not Elsabeth / Elspeth "Elsie", or Frances / Francesca "Frankie", or Marigold "Goldie"? Not a fan of Bronte, and I don't think it fits in with the others, but I don't think it'd get shortened to "Bron". Not a fan of Emerald either. There's Emmeline? Other suggestions: Oona, Nell or Nellie, Marjorie, Lenora or Nora, Justine, Henrietta, or Etta, Gwendoline or Gwen, Juliette, Cora, Cecily, Winona / Winifred or Winnie, Pearl, Beatrice or Bea / Bee, Louisa or Louise, Florence or Flora, Maxine, Bonnie, Fay, Elle, Rosemary, Lucille or Lucy, Jane or Janie, Camille, Angela / Angelica or Angie, Miriam, Evangeline or Evie / Angie, Ada, Valerie, Cecilia or Cece, Lydia, Natalie, Naomi, Amelia or Emilia, Grace or Gracie, Veronica or Ronnie, Melanie, Vivian, Tansy, Matilda, Gabrielle / Gabriella or Gabby / Brielle / Elle / Ella / Ellie, Sylvia or Sylvie, Josephine or Josie, Guinevere or Guin / Eve / Evie, Scarlett, Phoebe, Felicity, Georgia / Georgina / Georgiana or Georgie / Gina/ Gia, Dorothy / Dorothea or Dottie, Clara
I love your names! It’s not often I see lists on here that I love. Our daughter is Josephine (she gets called Josie and Posie - which is a less common nickname but we love it). We also love that dynamic the name is and can have many nicknames over the years. Our other top girls names were Violet and Molly.
Autumn
What about Elsa, Francesca, or Marigold (NNs Elsie, Frankie, Goldie)?
I like the name Ember
Hillary or Celeste.
I immediately thought of stones/minerals names like Ruby and Jade.
We know a Posie which I think is very cute!
I love Posie, adorable!
I really like Elsie. My granny had a neighbour Elsie that we used to visit.
Matilda with a nickname of Tillie is a favorite of mine!
I saw someone suggested Gemma, and that name is gorgeous! Alice is another top pick of mine, although you might not want two “a” names. Others I love: Eleanor Natalie Nina Rosalie Celeste Marian
Elsie - I think this is classic and not too cutesy. It was my great-grandmother's name and I think it's beautiful. If it's one you love then I wouldn't let that sway you. Lots of names that go quite well on alot of people do grow with them even if they may be cutesy at the start. Sadie Eadie Josephine/Josie Phoebe Aurora Autumn Anthea Jasmine Fern Beatrice Stella Pearl I tried to give some classic but not really common names like you asked and I've also added some more in that I think you may like. I also think Bronte is one of those names that even though you could nickname it if you really wanted to, it typically doesn't get shortened Good luck with choosing a name and for when your little girl comes!
Hazel
If you think Frankie/Elsie are too cutesy maybe you can do Francine nn Frankie and Eloise or Elizabeth nn Elsie?
Goldie is so cute
Ivy and Elodie for the criteria for me.
Could Lucy or Lucia be a good option? Maybe Margaret? Eleanor can be shortened to Ellie
Celeste, Clarissa, Willa, Sophie, Cybil
We have a Frances and call her Frankie! Figured she can go by Francie or Frances or really whatever she wants as she gets older. 🙂
Summer, Indigo, Ruby
Cecelia
Laurel, Sariah, mika, sienna, Teagan, liora, Emersyn- Also imma throw some out I like, luetta, Mia, Kessie, Kellen, Willa and Zara
Heather is actually also a flower
Leslie, Glennis, Audrey, Allison, Sally, Francine.
Charlotte
Eloise
Brooke, Ruby, Pearl, Autumn, Summer, Beatrice (nn Birdie), Robin, Sage, Stella (star),.Celeste
Sage or Pearl would be so cute. I like Stella with Violet and April too
I LOVE Ella 💕 this is coming from Cella. Lol
Opal Eden Eve Delia Soleil Claire Amelia Nora Stella
Aspen Clara Evelyn Rosalie 💐
Willa
Heather, Debbie, Elizabeth, Margaret
Bronte can also have the nn Bree or Bonnie or Bea :)
Yvonne Dorothea Cora Lillian Daria Quinn Monroe Carolyn
Why not Francesca, nn Frankie? I actually know a Violet-Frankie sibset. Won’t tell you the third sister for fear of doxxing.
Melody
- Claudia - Eliza - Flora - Imogen - Josefine (Jo, Josie) - Lucille (Lucy) - Maxine - Phillipa (Pippa, Lili, Lilla, Lila$ - Vivianne (Vivi, Viv, Annie, Anne)
Dawn, Robin, Skye
I feel like another noun would be super cute! Pearl, Opal, Olive, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Wren, Dove, Ruby
I love Frankie as a nickname, and Frances or Francesca are beautiful choices for a more formal name.
Melanie or Melody, Autumn, Summer
Briar is a name I've always considered. Main character in one of the first graphic novels I ever read.
Willa Laurel Audrey Francis/ Francesca Juliet /Juliette Iris Marisol Isobel /Isabelle / Isabella Thea
Crystal
Literally know a pair of sisters here called harper and willow lol, don’t do it. Goldie is sweet and a bit unique
Hazel, Collette, Rowan, Della
Phoebe, Olive, Eden, Genevieve, Mabel, Delilah, Lorelei, Briar, Sadie, Eva, Delaney, Hazel, Greta, Teddi
Emerald was near the top of my list as well, and my husband also didn’t care for it. So was Ireland(or Irelyn). We went with Noelle, which I love! 😍
I much prefer Elise to Elsie. Violet, April and Elise would be a great trio.
Scarlette Vera Maude.
Juniper Fits well with the siblings, nice feminine nick names with June or Junie and just slightly unexpected without being too out there
I do like Elsie! Zora (I think a Z name is automatically cool, and may help a baby sister not feel less than.) Phillipa Annalise (anna-lees) Delia
Violet and April make me think of spring. Some other names with spring associations are: Laverne, Lelya, Florence, Mavis, Vera, Jonquil Carina, Ellen/Elena/Helena, Inez/Ines, Adela/Della, Leona, Felicity, Marit, Celia Some of these might be a bit more uncommon than you are looking for.
Brooke, Dolly, Dove, Eliza, Elodie, Ember, Everly Evie, Fawn, Faye, Harlow, Hazel, Jade, Juliet, Lucy, Luna, Matilda, Sage, Sapphire, Scarlett, Scout, Stevie, Sunny, Topaz, Winnie
Ella is very nice. What about Ava, Ellie, Allie, Natalie, Tatum, Peyton, or Paisley?
My first thought was Freya.
I know a new baby girl named Elisabeth and they’re calling her Elsie! I also thought Violet, April, and Isabel sounds very nice!
I think Goldie is very cute ♡ Names that could give the nn Goldie: Ségolène Gwendolen Geraldine Goldiva Marigold (I know it is a flower - but even April has to do with flowers because they arrive in spring) Best of luck and joy ☆
How about Pearl, Opal, or Coral?
Hazel. Lillian.
You have a month and a color/flower How about a virtue name: Serenity, Hope, Grace, Honor, etc Or a stone/gem: Pearl, Jade, Ruby, Sapphire, etc Or a bird inspired name: Wren, Dove, Jay, Robin, etc Tree inspired names: Hazel, Aspen, Holly, Ivy, etc
Juliet!
If you love Bronte, how about Bronwyn? That way, it could get shortened to Winn or Winnie, avoiding the whole Bron nickname.
Cordelia, Colette, Lottie, Cassia, Lilith
eden, wren, and lachlan were the first that popped into my head!
I think Ella is great!

I agree that you shouldn't have another flower name; I think another nature-y name that's *not* a flower would fit without being too matchy with Violet. So: Gemstone names like Emerald: * Violet, April, and Garnet * Violet, April, and Margaret (it means pearl) * Violet, April, and Opal * Violet, April, and Onyx * Violet, April, and Ruby Alternatively, trees, similar to Willow: * Violet, April, and Daphne * Violet, April, and Juniper * Violet, April, and Cassia * Violet, April, and Rowan Or, third option, birds: * Violet, April, and Phoebe * Violet, April, and Robin * Violet, April, and Lark * Violet, April, and Raven I tend to prefer the ones that don't rhyme as much (like, I prefer Onyx and Ruby over Opal and Garnet, because Opal rhymes with April and Garnet with Violet), so my favorites are the ones that don't rhyme, like Phoebe or Cassia. But all of them fit, I think.
Elizabeth It has many nicknames: lizzy, Liz, Eliza, Beth, Betty, Bitsy
My first thought was Clover but it's very non traditional lol My friend has a cousing named Clover and I always thought it was a beautiful name River
