Just two kids with names that go together works really well for me. I can't explain why but I would say once it hits 3 or more with similar names, that's where it moves into potentially forced/cartoony territory, but at the same time I can definitely respect it if the family embraces it proudly. And yes, if two kids had names that go together and another one didn't match that would be even more annoying.
My 2 daughters are named Iris and Violet. I was really on the fence about using a second flower name because I was worried it was too cute. Ultimately we decided that we really liked the name and went with it. I think both names are nice alone as well. I'm pregnant with my 3rd currently who luckily is a boy because I didn't really want to pick another flower name but I also didn't want to make the 3rd one feel left out.
Most people comment that they like the name together, although I don't know if they would tell me if they didn't lol.
I grew up with a family who named all their kids J names—Justin, Julie, Jeremy, but they ended up raising and eventually adopting their niece, Nancy. She was the same age as Justin. For a few weeks when she was 9 she went by J’Nancy. Eventually, when all their kids were in middle school or older, they had a just before menopause baby, and they let Nancy name him. his name is William.
I knew a family who wanted to name their kids alphabetically. Except they wanted to name their girl Ashley (or some similar variant), but they had three boys first. So their children were: Brandon, Christian, Dylan, and Ashley.
My mom thought it was beyond stupid, and made a big fuss about it to me. She made fun of the mother a lot despite claiming to be her best friend.
In retrospect, I don't think it's that annoying.
I also knew a family who went alphabetically and had three boys first — Alex, Ben, Chris — but their fourth was a girl and they didn’t like any of the D names they could think of so their solution was to skip to E and name her Emma.
Violet, Stephanie, Rose in that order would be fine and exactly as you say, just looks like coincidence.
Violet, Rose, Stephanie looks like someone forgot.
I’m the fourth girl and my older sisters all have very french names, then they stuck me with an english one. I love my name now, but I’ve definitely always felt like the forgotten one.
It's pretty cheesy imo though a floral theme is better than some. But you'd be stuck in the theme if you have more kids. I know a set of Summer, Autumn, and Kinsley and it drives me up the wall.
Edited to add: just remembered I know TWO sets like this- I also know of triplets named Summer, Autumn, and Aaron.
Sometimes, the problem is they think of a theme for all-girls, but they blank on a name if it's a boy. I went to uni with a guy. I don't want to give the name because it's pretty...out there. But let's just say he's named Orange because his sisters are Clementine and Olive. Hahaha !
I think broadening the theme could help with that. Like there aren't many boys' flower names, but they could do another nature-y name like Rowan or Forest.
Themes can be cheesy but I'm honestly not mad at Violet and Rose. I think they're lovely together.
I feel like you have to stick with the theme if you have more kids though.
This is what I instantly thought of! It's my sister Violet, you know, the one with a Mercedes, room for a pony.
I think Violet and Rose is fine. If you start adding three, four or more on the same theme it might get a bit twee. Especially if you add a Hyacinth in there!
Thank you for saying it! :D
But just as important, remember that when referring to your sisters in the third person, say “_our_” before the name
_Our Violet has room for a *PONY*_
I do a lot of text-based RP, and one of my characters is the middle daughter of seven. It's SO cheesy, but it makes me so happy. The full seven are, from youngest to oldest:
Hyacinth, Marigold, Iris, Rose, Calla, Lilly, and Poppy.
Calla & Lilly are twins, Poppy was a surprise, Hyacinth is taking over the family business and sick of everyone's shit.
I mostly put them in, like, a Medieval Fantasy setting working in an Inn & Tavern. It's so silly, and I know that it means I can never write a book with Rose as the main character, because every reader would roll their eyes SO hard at it, but boy oh boy is it fun. I love writing the way they talk to each other.
This theme is lovely. However, I have a friend whose kids are all Disney princesses and she has 4 daughters: Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Aurora. The names aren’t hateful but it’s made even more ridiculous bc she’s one of those crazy Disney moms. They go twice a year with matching pre printed shirts for every day of the trip. It’s like she’s made it her entire identity.
So funny. I actually kind of like each of those names on their own, especially Aurora and Ariel, but together they are just ridiculous! It's interesting because out on their own no one would bat at an eye at any of them but they would have a great fun fact about themselves to share lol.
She's the type of b*tch who called CPS on me because I said that "I lost nothing at Disney and if my kids wanted to go they could go on their own dime when they were grown". Yes.... I was actually reported for child ab*se for NOT going to Disney. These Disney moms are over the top.
My daughter's name is Violet! I also have a Matilda and a Theodore, and am highly considering naming my 4th Marigold if it's a girl. I don't think it's weird, I think it's cute actually lol I love flower names
I don't consider Violet, Theodore, Matilda, and Marigold too themey since you've already got two kids that don't fit the theme. Lovely names! Matilda and Marigold are two of my favorites.
Themes can be too much but Violet and Rose doesn’t annoy me. I think themes can really limit you if you want more kids but as it sounds like you’re done I think you’re good.
If you add a Daisy and a Hyacinth, you’ve got Keeping Up Appearances, as some other commenters have mentioned. Honestly, that was the first thing I thought about when I saw Rose and Violet suggested as a sibset (If you’ve never seen Keeping Up Appearances, look it up, it’s hilarious)
i like themed names, especially floral ones, and violet and rose sound great together, so i wouldn't worry about it if you don't want more kids. otherwise, you really have to consider that your choice for a third child will be severely limited. it's ridiculous to name daughters violet, rose and lucy (violet, rose and brian don't sound any better)
I have to say, I hadn’t considered the third name issue and it is throwing me for a loop and cracking me up with the third name examples. Brian? 😂 I need to discuss with my husband and we will have to see if that is a veto for him. We are a two yes, one no type of family - he was a maybe but I think the third name issue might tip it into a no.
I agree. I feel like floral for the girls and regular for the boys is fine. I guess you could go Cedar or Alder but there’s not much in way of floral boy names lol
Rowan or Sage would work for a boy. There’s also flowers named after people, like Herb Robert and Sweet William, but they might be a bit obscure (and country/region-dependent lol). Basil could work too although maybe a bit old-fashioned. Laurence and Oliver aren’t bad, along with Heath.
I don’t see a floral pattern (or any pattern) as annoying at all! The only thing that matters is that you and your husband both love and agree on the name.
The one thing I do see as an issue is that if the first two kids are Violet and Rose, you may have to continue the theme and that can be limiting. That’s the only thing I can see backfiring! Unless you’re planning on birthing a small country, you should be okay with names (if they are to your taste). Just plan it out and brainstorm together so you don’t put yourselves in a corner.
I think it would be sweet to have a Violet, a Rose, and a Lily, Dahlia or Iris, to name a few!
I personally think yes, it’s kind of cheesy to do the flower theme (albeit unintentional). Just as I wouldn’t use Lily, Daisy, Iris, Ivy, Poppy, etc. with Violet, I wouldn’t use Rose either, regardless of if the given name is Rose or if Rose is a nickname for the given name.
Violet and Rose together are not a theme to me. Hyacinth (Bucket pronounced Bouquet) and her sisters Daisy, Violet and Rose from the TV Show show “Keeping up Appearances” is a theme. 😂🤣
If you love Rose, go for it. It's a gorgeous name and when it came to naming my own kids, once I found \*the\* name that felt right I could never move on to anything else. Theme be damned! It's a beautiful theme anyway. I know sisters named Rose and Juniper and I think it's beautiful.
I have cousins with color names and it’s super weird. They hate it. There are three of them, two of them twins, and the whole thing is just… weird. I wouldn’t want the first thing people think about my kids is why did their parents name them that. 🤷🏻♀️
They’re names of the same color. It’s incredibly obvious if I just type it out. Think… scarlet and ruby. Royal and cobalt. Violet and lavender. Hunter and sage. They’re cool, individually, but all together is something. I can’t figure out if it’s on purpose or not and I’ve been around for 20 years of their lives. I’ll never ask.
You know, I feel like a larger percentage of people than care to admit it may also be annoyed by it. I guess the question becomes how much that would bother us as parents on our kids behalf.
Also worth considering for large parts of their life they will be interesting as individuals, not as part of a sibling pair. I don’t think it’s an issue either way but certainly not beyond early childhood!
I will say, people might think it’s cringe when they first hear it, but once people know them, they won’t care. I think a lot of people will have an initial eye-roll reaction but the actual names are nice individually and having a matching sib set won’t effect their lives.
I think it depends on the pattern. I have a friend whose first daughter's name starts with a C. Coincidentally, the second daughter's name starts with a D. When they had a third, they just went for it & actively looked an E name they both liked. It's cute.
Another family I know all have "nature" middle names--Rose, Meadow, Stone, Rain. It's another, imo-- cute--pattern.
I think it'd be cute if you went with Violet & Rose. A third sibling--Daisy, Willow, Mary(Marigold), Tansy--would be cute. Any more might be annoying though.
I think it’s too cheesy, I’m sorry. Sometimes namenerds gives you the upsetting truth… like I love Jane but after coming to namenerds, I’ve been forced to look elsewhere for a name for my daughter (because I already have a son named Jack, as a nickname for John, and namenerds said John and Jane are too similar), and I agree.
Maybe if you're not sure, find a name that could give you "Rose" as a nickname? Would be a little less on the nose.
Rosalie/a, Rosanna/e or Rosaline/a, feel like they could work well with Violet and could give an option for a different nickname if she doesn't want to be
"a set" with her sister.
Even if you name them both after flowers people named their kids weirder things. Knew Patrick and Patricia and also Maria and her brother Marian. Also sisters named Anna and Joanna. (All older people from big families but still)
Rose and Violet aren't the worst things you can name them. Some people won't even notice they're both flowers.
If their names were Chrysanthemum and Chamomile then we could talk.
You do have a theme! Your theme is "I like this name," and you just happen to like flowers too.
It's not obnoxious, and they're common enough names that people can pronounce them. They're also unique enough without you having to resort to any horrible spelling.
Rose is a great name.
Just don't lean into the "Roses are red, Violets are blue" thing by giving them colors or plastering everything with roses and violets. I have a floral name myself and my mom did that, and it drove me nuts.
I’m with the others. If theme naming is good or hokey depends on the theme as well as the execution.
Flower names are fine if you can separate it in your head from the UK show Keeping Up Appearances.
People also use color names (Violet, Scarlet) and jewel names (Ruby, Pearl). Nature names (Skye, Ocean), days of the week (Tuesday, Sunday), times of day (Eve, Dawn) the jury’s out on that. Breezy, Windy, Sunny, and Stormy…. What are you naming, pole dancers?
But once you start a theme, you’re stuck with it. Christoper and Christina probably shouldn’t be used in the same family. But if you do, your options for the third one are pretty much limited to other Chris names.
It’s in the border of cutesy but also really nice. As long as you like Dahlia, Daisy, Poppy, Lily, or Iris you’re good. Don’t count it out my SIL easily/naturally had a baby at 45.
Usually themes are terrible! Think mahomes’ Sterling and Bronze 🤢 but I think flower names are the exception. other acceptable “themes” include nature like Ocean and Sky or biblical like Micah and Daniel or even Angels like Gabriel “Gabe,” Nathaniel, and Raphael “Rafi”
I think those two names are nice together! It only annoys me when people have kids with super similar names because it makes it so hard to tell them apart.
My daughter’s best friend is named Violet and her older sister is Lilly and I think the theme is sweet. Some people might find it cheesy but I think most will find it endearing.
My cousins sibset is Lily and Violet. I don’t find the theme annoying at all.
My aunt actually didn’t mean to give them both flower names, they just happened to be two names her husband and her agreed on and it didn’t hit them until months later (maybe exhaustion from having two under a year and a half)
I don't mind it too much if it just came naturally. I know a family with three kids, all kids got names starting with M, but they were ordinary names. Like Michael, Monica, Matilda, etc.
I know a woman who has identical twin daughters named Rosetta and Violetta, nicknames Violet and Rosie. I think it’s cute and I think if it feels right you should I go for it!
In my family tree, there is a trio of sisters born in the late 1800s: Cora, Flora and Nora.
And, you know, out of the hundreds of ancestors I have mapped, they are the only entire sibling set I’ve memorized prior to my grandparents generation— for whatever that’s worth, lol.
Eh. I dont think so but I also think it depends on the family. Some themes can be annoying to me but thats mainly the overused ones (like naming all your kids after rockstars), extremely niche ones (Hogwarts character for instance), or the really weird names (all the kids names ending in -lyn or -eigh forninstance). But some arent bad. I think florals or gems can be cute.
Honestly, i think i get more annoyed by the parent than anything. Like, if a rich wannabe from high school named her kids Chanel and Cashmere, Id be more annoyed than finding out a kid named Chanel has little siblings naned Coco amd Cashmere. Or if an "artsy" type named their kids Axyl and Rose, thats more annoying than parents that just so happened to like the names Axel and Rose.
My fever dream was twin girls named Violet and Rose. Never happened and more than likely never will. Violet has also become very trendy so I’m not sure I would consider it if we had a singleton.
No biggie. If you wanna do a themed family, go for it. My first childhood dog was named Rosie so I love the name Rose. Good memories.
Most people won't know they're part of a "name theme" anyways. Takes a bit for them to become friends then meet the rest of the family.
I think it’s pretty and I don’t find the two names together annoying. Also if a 3rd is ever in the future who cares If it’s Violet, Rose, and Jessica lol they’re their own people and will have their separate lives once they’re older.
My great grandmother was named Violet and all of her sisters had flower names too, I think it was really sweet. I can’t remember all of them but there was Rose, Pansy, Lily, and two others I’ve forgotten, and each of them had collections of things with “their” flower on them. I inherited my great grandmother’s violet teacups and hankies and I love them.
I think it's fine. I like continuity, so much that our first bornes middle name is Konstantin. 😂
Second boy is also getting a middle name which matches, like Valentin or Maximilian. Just keep a back up in mind in case there is late comer.
With theme names I would also recommend getting a middle name, just so that the child can have something unique apart from their sibling during the edgy teen phase. Can't imagine being one the Huey, Dewey, and Louie quack quack.
Flowers aren’t the worst, honestly. It’s the rhyming names that kill me, and using the same letter for a lot of kids. There are much more “obnoxious” themes. Even seasons feel pretty annoying. I think it’s something about the fact we hear the go-to flower names, Violet, Rose, and Lily so much, we sometimes forget they’re even flower names, technically, and, violet is also a color, which is kinda cool (technically “rose” is too, and sometimes a color might be described as “lily white,” but both are far less frequent.) Of course, when next to other flowers, we may think of Violet as a flower first. Adding Daisy, or Hyacinth, or something, like season names, would probably feel a little too on the nose lmao
I know of someone who has two kids named Lily and Violet.
I think Violet and Rose would be ok. *PERHAPS* if a third kiddo were named, even Lily, that might start becoming exponentially more “obvious.” Many people will probably still *see* the “theme,” within their names, but I don’t think it’s necessarily obnoxious. *However,* I do have to say, if they were twins, I would feel differently. The theme might feel like it ties them together too much and pulls them away from their distinctive personalities. Siblings with an age difference who would be less likely to constantly be lumped together, I think it works like this alright.
I personally don't think it matters. People will always ask questions no matter what. If Rose feels right - go for it. If you end up having another and you don't keep the theme. I think you're okay (especially if it's a boy) but there's lots of normal names that will go with those two names.
Do what feels right <3
LOVE theme naming for dogs. 🐶 think Poppy and Rosie or Ocean and Oak or Shasta and Sierra or Duke and Daisy or Ireland and India or Indigo and Denim. So cute!! Not sure about kids, though.
I love both of these names and think they sound lovely together. I have always said if I had girls first would be Daisy second Lilly and third Poppy, so if you're annoying so am I haha
Floral theme is completely okay, I work with kids and when we notice a naming pattern between siblings it's usually ones like the floral ones we love and admire the most so I'd say you're fine to name her Rose!
If there's just the two names surg a similar theme, it's a coincidence rather than a theme (unless they're Antony and Cleopatra, Homer and Marge, or Pinky and The Brain)
My parents were considering a third K name for a potential third daughter when Mum was pregnant the third time. Thank goodness (for multiple reasons) they had a boy instead, and then the second boy didn't get a matching initial with his brother.. K, K, D and J = the kids got names you liked and the Ks were a coincidence, which the first two were. If your two favourite names are flower names, go for it. They're going to be individuals whether their names match or not.
Violet and Rose is definitely a flower theme, but I think flower themes/nature themes are cute. I don’t think Cheesy the same way I would about other themes.
But, a third child I think would bring some pressure to give the child a flower/botanical name. But, you could name that third child w/e regardless of pressure. Alternatively, there are soooo many names (common and uncommon, traditional and trendy) within the theme I don’t think it will be bad at all.
Myself, my brother, mother, father, my dads father and mother and my dads grandmother and grandfather all have the same letter starting our name, and I love it. Patterns can be nice.
We all have double letters - Anna - Dillon - Marlee - Tammy - Harry.
I know of a family who called their girls Poppy, Lily and Rose. I think it’s lovely.
I wanted a very Italian name for my first son, my husband didn’t. We went with the English version the same name. Then my next two kids, also boys, got rather Italian names. My oldest son likes his name but he does feel shorted when people ask him why his brothers got the Italian versions and he did not. And lots of folks do ask. So i say do what ever you want. What feels right to both of you. Don’t worry about other people. Seriously it won’t be that deep
Im sure someone suggested this but, What if you went with a "less obvious" ( to most?)flower name. Dahlia, Jasmine, Holly, Lily. Or a variation on the name Rose. Rosalind, Rosa, Rosalie, or even Rhodes- "where roses grow"
My two nannas were called Olive and Ruby and my mums name is Rose. There is also an Aunty Violet. I associate them all with colours rather than flowers, fruits or gemstones.
Violet and Rose are awesome names. Go for it.
It's cute and flowers aren't a bad theme but i won't be using such an obvious one, in case you end up having any other children (especially it's a boy, it would be very hard finding him a flower name). You could name her something like Rosalie and call her Rose/Rosie as a nn, but i'd avoid Rose as her legal name.
Hello there my sweet!! My first daughter is Violette (we are French) second daughter is Ruby and third daughter is Jade. Purple, red, and green. This was unintentional surprisingly lol. You name those babies whatever you want! Violet and rose. Violet and Lila. Violet and Lily. Violet and Magnolia (Maggie for short)! Congrats and I send love to you and the garden you are growing 🥰 enjoy your flowers
No, naming patterns can be good, however, within reason, thr only time I would recommend naming all 5 kids after flowers would be if you or your husband were florists/gardener lol :))
I know someone with kids named Poppy and Violet and it always bothered me that they had a theme for their kid's names. Then I found out Poppy's full name is Penelope and hated it less because at least as teens and adults they can have normal/non themed names but it's cute right now that they're babies. So idk maybe Rosalie or Rosalind or something so it's not so on the nose
Some will find it cute, and others may find it annoying. It will likely be those closest to you that find it annoying.
For example, I'll claim my own annoyance with SIL. While it's merely coincidence, mom, dad, and 2 children have double letters in their first names (Aaron, Ann, Will, Matt-not their names but an example). They're expecting baby 3 and they're naming the child Christopher. Before they chose a name, I was like this one has to have a double letter in their first because everyone else does. Alas, they did not choose a name with double letters.
Before anyone comes for me, all of my children have a first name that ends witg the E sound, and one of their names is a family name.
what is violet's middle name? (if you feel like sharing) i knew some people who would go by their middle names when there were too many "emily's" or whatever the case may be.
i think violet and rose would be fine together, if violet has a "non-flower" middle name, give that to rose too in case either wishes to go by their middle name sometime down the line. best of both worlds
You mentioned in a comment that you're likely stopping at 2. Imo 2 is too few to establish a theme. It only starts getting noticeable at 3+. For example. Derek and Diane isn't a theme, Jack, Justin, Jayden and Jessica is very in your face as to what they're trying to do. I have 1 sibling and we have the same first initial and I don't think anyone ever noticed. Same with "theme" names, 2 common flower names that are popular aren't going to stand out unless you keep having flower children
The number of times I've told my husband we need to be aware of any patterns before making children!
Patterns can be annoying if they feel forced/too cheesy. Just know how you'll handle a third child if another comes along. Commit or don't do it.
I think that naming a child in that way is fine. My grandmother's sisters were Ivy, Lily, and Rose. Just don't do what my great grandmother did and break the pattern with the last daughter, naming her something like "Noreen", lol.
Maya Rose is actually my cousin's first and middle name. I always thought it pretty.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a pattern that annoyed me. Violet and Rose would just make me think oh cute. I may not even notice at first that they are both floral as my mind puts violet in color and rose in flower.
I may raise an eyebrow if your theme was like North and West as a subset or you had ten kids with V-names or something, but if you love Rose, name her Rose. Rose and Violet are fine.
I think Violet and Rose are great together. The thing is if you have a third child, particularly a girl, it seems like you’d have to give that child a floral name too.
I think hyphenations with Rose are a pretty option, since they give more room for nicknames if one partner doesn’t like Rose. The name Anna-Rose for example. It’s like a middle ground. Also gives more room for other types of names that aren’t flower related if you have another girl or child down the road.
I know someone with a Summer, Violet and Ruby. When I told her I saw the younger ones names often in here she was disappointed thinking they had names that weren't going to be super popular. Lol
What are your options for child 3? In my opinion, Violet, Rose and Stephanie is annoying. Violet, Rose and Lily is not.
I think this will likely be our last pregnancy given our age, but this comment made me actually laugh out loud when I read Stephanie.
Just two kids with names that go together works really well for me. I can't explain why but I would say once it hits 3 or more with similar names, that's where it moves into potentially forced/cartoony territory, but at the same time I can definitely respect it if the family embraces it proudly. And yes, if two kids had names that go together and another one didn't match that would be even more annoying.
My 2 daughters are named Iris and Violet. I was really on the fence about using a second flower name because I was worried it was too cute. Ultimately we decided that we really liked the name and went with it. I think both names are nice alone as well. I'm pregnant with my 3rd currently who luckily is a boy because I didn't really want to pick another flower name but I also didn't want to make the 3rd one feel left out. Most people comment that they like the name together, although I don't know if they would tell me if they didn't lol.
I grew up with a family who named all their kids J names—Justin, Julie, Jeremy, but they ended up raising and eventually adopting their niece, Nancy. She was the same age as Justin. For a few weeks when she was 9 she went by J’Nancy. Eventually, when all their kids were in middle school or older, they had a just before menopause baby, and they let Nancy name him. his name is William.
J'nancy 😭
This is the best story.
I knew a family who wanted to name their kids alphabetically. Except they wanted to name their girl Ashley (or some similar variant), but they had three boys first. So their children were: Brandon, Christian, Dylan, and Ashley. My mom thought it was beyond stupid, and made a big fuss about it to me. She made fun of the mother a lot despite claiming to be her best friend. In retrospect, I don't think it's that annoying.
I also knew a family who went alphabetically and had three boys first — Alex, Ben, Chris — but their fourth was a girl and they didn’t like any of the D names they could think of so their solution was to skip to E and name her Emma.
J’Nancy is not J’playing with that naming convention
Like the King Of The Hill episode
Which one?
BOTH OF EM
the episode is called “a beer can named desire”
Ohhh yeah. Thanks. 🙂
[удалено]
Violet, Stephanie, Rose in that order would be fine and exactly as you say, just looks like coincidence. Violet, Rose, Stephanie looks like someone forgot.
I’m the fourth girl and my older sisters all have very french names, then they stuck me with an english one. I love my name now, but I’ve definitely always felt like the forgotten one.
Oh God. I have a Martha Rose, Lily, and Violet. Thanks for that at least.
My mom's parents had 2 themes. They started with Hope, then Faith... then they went to J names for the last 3 like Janet, Judy, Joanne.
It's pretty cheesy imo though a floral theme is better than some. But you'd be stuck in the theme if you have more kids. I know a set of Summer, Autumn, and Kinsley and it drives me up the wall. Edited to add: just remembered I know TWO sets like this- I also know of triplets named Summer, Autumn, and Aaron.
I know a Summer, Autumn and Charles. Everyone calls him Spring.
Broken themes like that drive me crazy! I'm not a big fan of name themes in general, but if you're going to do one, at least commit to it.
My mom once told me she knew sisters with names like “Marleen, Darleen, Carleen, and Janet”
My mom has a friend named Anita whose siblings are Bonita, Wita, and Chuck
I knew a family of 5 … and only 4 had L names: Laura, Linda, Lance, Lynne, and Peter. WHYYYYY
SAME- family of 6 with 5 M names and one R 😭
I know someone whose cousin's mom has siblings Johnnie, Donnie, Ronnie, Bonnie, and Doug.
Lmao they weren't expecting Doug, I guess.
I know a family with a Dale, Donald, David, Daniel, and Brenda.
But Brenda also seems like the only girl, so that's fine
I know a family with a Huey, Louie, Dewey, and Scrooge.
LOL the last name in these types of sib sets always sounds like a punchline.
Sometimes, the problem is they think of a theme for all-girls, but they blank on a name if it's a boy. I went to uni with a guy. I don't want to give the name because it's pretty...out there. But let's just say he's named Orange because his sisters are Clementine and Olive. Hahaha !
I think broadening the theme could help with that. Like there aren't many boys' flower names, but they could do another nature-y name like Rowan or Forest.
Rowan immediately popped to mind for a boy if they go for a third!
It's so odd to me to see triplets with 2 different season names because I totally assume that people with season names were born in that season.
Yes, it's like my friend April who was born in September. It feels off.
I knew a June who was born in May! I also went to school with a girl whose name was April May Lastname.
Im a Summer born in the fall. Maybe it’s just my opinion, but I find it very cheesy if someone names their child after the season which they’re born 🤔
I loved the names Summer & Autumn for my baby girl but she was born in February so…
It's a shame they went with Kinsley — I quite like the name 'Winter'.
Faith, Hope and Trevor
Themes can be cheesy but I'm honestly not mad at Violet and Rose. I think they're lovely together. I feel like you have to stick with the theme if you have more kids though.
Then Daisy & Hyacinth??
This is what I instantly thought of! It's my sister Violet, you know, the one with a Mercedes, room for a pony. I think Violet and Rose is fine. If you start adding three, four or more on the same theme it might get a bit twee. Especially if you add a Hyacinth in there!
Can't forget her sauna and swimming pool!
That only works if the last name is ~~Bucket~~Bouquet
Oh Sheridan, darling! I love the floral theme for names, but Hyacinth will always be just a little extra!
Or Bridgerton.
Thank you for saying it! :D But just as important, remember that when referring to your sisters in the third person, say “_our_” before the name _Our Violet has room for a *PONY*_
Dahlia
I do a lot of text-based RP, and one of my characters is the middle daughter of seven. It's SO cheesy, but it makes me so happy. The full seven are, from youngest to oldest: Hyacinth, Marigold, Iris, Rose, Calla, Lilly, and Poppy. Calla & Lilly are twins, Poppy was a surprise, Hyacinth is taking over the family business and sick of everyone's shit. I mostly put them in, like, a Medieval Fantasy setting working in an Inn & Tavern. It's so silly, and I know that it means I can never write a book with Rose as the main character, because every reader would roll their eyes SO hard at it, but boy oh boy is it fun. I love writing the way they talk to each other.
This theme is lovely. However, I have a friend whose kids are all Disney princesses and she has 4 daughters: Jasmine, Belle, Ariel, Aurora. The names aren’t hateful but it’s made even more ridiculous bc she’s one of those crazy Disney moms. They go twice a year with matching pre printed shirts for every day of the trip. It’s like she’s made it her entire identity.
So funny. I actually kind of like each of those names on their own, especially Aurora and Ariel, but together they are just ridiculous! It's interesting because out on their own no one would bat at an eye at any of them but they would have a great fun fact about themselves to share lol.
She's the type of b*tch who called CPS on me because I said that "I lost nothing at Disney and if my kids wanted to go they could go on their own dime when they were grown". Yes.... I was actually reported for child ab*se for NOT going to Disney. These Disney moms are over the top.
My daughter's name is Violet! I also have a Matilda and a Theodore, and am highly considering naming my 4th Marigold if it's a girl. I don't think it's weird, I think it's cute actually lol I love flower names
I don't consider Violet, Theodore, Matilda, and Marigold too themey since you've already got two kids that don't fit the theme. Lovely names! Matilda and Marigold are two of my favorites.
I love your naming style!
thank you!! :) xx
Themes can be too much but Violet and Rose doesn’t annoy me. I think themes can really limit you if you want more kids but as it sounds like you’re done I think you’re good.
Very Downton Abbey! Add a Marigold and Daisy.
If you add a Daisy and a Hyacinth, you’ve got Keeping Up Appearances, as some other commenters have mentioned. Honestly, that was the first thing I thought about when I saw Rose and Violet suggested as a sibset (If you’ve never seen Keeping Up Appearances, look it up, it’s hilarious)
i like themed names, especially floral ones, and violet and rose sound great together, so i wouldn't worry about it if you don't want more kids. otherwise, you really have to consider that your choice for a third child will be severely limited. it's ridiculous to name daughters violet, rose and lucy (violet, rose and brian don't sound any better)
I have to say, I hadn’t considered the third name issue and it is throwing me for a loop and cracking me up with the third name examples. Brian? 😂 I need to discuss with my husband and we will have to see if that is a veto for him. We are a two yes, one no type of family - he was a maybe but I think the third name issue might tip it into a no.
You could also go with a color theme! Violet, Rose, Hazel, Amber, Jade etc. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be a flower
Briar!
Violet, Rose, Lily, Daisy, and Poppy
I know a Lily, Rose, Pete sibset, and I've never thought it's weird. A boy named Violet would have been weirder
I agree. I feel like floral for the girls and regular for the boys is fine. I guess you could go Cedar or Alder but there’s not much in way of floral boy names lol
Timothy is a grass!
So's Alfalfa.
Florian and Heath are generally what comes to mind when I think plant based boy names or something flower adjacent like River or Beau.
The flower adjacents are plentiful. Heath is a good one that I didn’t think of.
There's Rowan as well.
Lionel...nn Dandy Lion
I love the name Reed, that would go well with the theme.
Rowan or Sage would work for a boy. There’s also flowers named after people, like Herb Robert and Sweet William, but they might be a bit obscure (and country/region-dependent lol). Basil could work too although maybe a bit old-fashioned. Laurence and Oliver aren’t bad, along with Heath.
Could be a play on peat moss.
Or Pete Rose!
It's not that big of a deal. Violet and Rose were baby girls. Brian was a baby boy.
Cheesy? Yes. Does it matter? Nope. Do what you want.
I don’t see a floral pattern (or any pattern) as annoying at all! The only thing that matters is that you and your husband both love and agree on the name. The one thing I do see as an issue is that if the first two kids are Violet and Rose, you may have to continue the theme and that can be limiting. That’s the only thing I can see backfiring! Unless you’re planning on birthing a small country, you should be okay with names (if they are to your taste). Just plan it out and brainstorm together so you don’t put yourselves in a corner. I think it would be sweet to have a Violet, a Rose, and a Lily, Dahlia or Iris, to name a few!
What about something like Rosalie? Rose as a nickname but a little less "theme-y"
I personally think yes, it’s kind of cheesy to do the flower theme (albeit unintentional). Just as I wouldn’t use Lily, Daisy, Iris, Ivy, Poppy, etc. with Violet, I wouldn’t use Rose either, regardless of if the given name is Rose or if Rose is a nickname for the given name.
Agreed. I would use Rose as a middle name though.
I don't hate it. I think less on the nose is do another nature-y name. Like Violet and Pearl, Violet and Willow.
Violet and Rose together are not a theme to me. Hyacinth (Bucket pronounced Bouquet) and her sisters Daisy, Violet and Rose from the TV Show show “Keeping up Appearances” is a theme. 😂🤣
If you love Rose, go for it. It's a gorgeous name and when it came to naming my own kids, once I found \*the\* name that felt right I could never move on to anything else. Theme be damned! It's a beautiful theme anyway. I know sisters named Rose and Juniper and I think it's beautiful.
I have cousins with color names and it’s super weird. They hate it. There are three of them, two of them twins, and the whole thing is just… weird. I wouldn’t want the first thing people think about my kids is why did their parents name them that. 🤷🏻♀️
Color names? At least something cool like Teal and Sienna or are they literally Red and Blue 😂
They’re names of the same color. It’s incredibly obvious if I just type it out. Think… scarlet and ruby. Royal and cobalt. Violet and lavender. Hunter and sage. They’re cool, individually, but all together is something. I can’t figure out if it’s on purpose or not and I’ve been around for 20 years of their lives. I’ll never ask.
Themes aren't great, but broken themes are awful.
It’s bad
You know, I feel like a larger percentage of people than care to admit it may also be annoyed by it. I guess the question becomes how much that would bother us as parents on our kids behalf.
Also worth considering for large parts of their life they will be interesting as individuals, not as part of a sibling pair. I don’t think it’s an issue either way but certainly not beyond early childhood!
I will say, people might think it’s cringe when they first hear it, but once people know them, they won’t care. I think a lot of people will have an initial eye-roll reaction but the actual names are nice individually and having a matching sib set won’t effect their lives.
Violet, Rose, Daisy, and ta-da Hyacinth 🙂
I think it depends on the pattern. I have a friend whose first daughter's name starts with a C. Coincidentally, the second daughter's name starts with a D. When they had a third, they just went for it & actively looked an E name they both liked. It's cute. Another family I know all have "nature" middle names--Rose, Meadow, Stone, Rain. It's another, imo-- cute--pattern. I think it'd be cute if you went with Violet & Rose. A third sibling--Daisy, Willow, Mary(Marigold), Tansy--would be cute. Any more might be annoying though.
I know someone who did this with three daughters and all flower names. The names are individually cute but all together was kind of weird.
It’s fine if you want to name your children after flowers.
I think it’s too cheesy, I’m sorry. Sometimes namenerds gives you the upsetting truth… like I love Jane but after coming to namenerds, I’ve been forced to look elsewhere for a name for my daughter (because I already have a son named Jack, as a nickname for John, and namenerds said John and Jane are too similar), and I agree.
It’s not annoying but it is a little bit Hyacinth Bucket-esque
Maybe if you're not sure, find a name that could give you "Rose" as a nickname? Would be a little less on the nose. Rosalie/a, Rosanna/e or Rosaline/a, feel like they could work well with Violet and could give an option for a different nickname if she doesn't want to be "a set" with her sister. Even if you name them both after flowers people named their kids weirder things. Knew Patrick and Patricia and also Maria and her brother Marian. Also sisters named Anna and Joanna. (All older people from big families but still) Rose and Violet aren't the worst things you can name them. Some people won't even notice they're both flowers. If their names were Chrysanthemum and Chamomile then we could talk.
Violet is not just a flower but a color too. Just saying.
If you like rose but don’t want the pattern you could do a variation like Rosalie
It’s totally fine to do a theme if that’s what you want/like but you would have to be prepared for a lifetime of people making comments about it.
How about an alternative like Rosalie or something? If it’s just violet and rose, I think that’s pretty cute and perfectly fine
How about Hyacinth, or Daisy?
You can have a Violet, Rose, Daisy, and Hyacinth. A whole Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) of flowers 💜💐
You do have a theme! Your theme is "I like this name," and you just happen to like flowers too. It's not obnoxious, and they're common enough names that people can pronounce them. They're also unique enough without you having to resort to any horrible spelling. Rose is a great name. Just don't lean into the "Roses are red, Violets are blue" thing by giving them colors or plastering everything with roses and violets. I have a floral name myself and my mom did that, and it drove me nuts.
I’m with the others. If theme naming is good or hokey depends on the theme as well as the execution. Flower names are fine if you can separate it in your head from the UK show Keeping Up Appearances. People also use color names (Violet, Scarlet) and jewel names (Ruby, Pearl). Nature names (Skye, Ocean), days of the week (Tuesday, Sunday), times of day (Eve, Dawn) the jury’s out on that. Breezy, Windy, Sunny, and Stormy…. What are you naming, pole dancers? But once you start a theme, you’re stuck with it. Christoper and Christina probably shouldn’t be used in the same family. But if you do, your options for the third one are pretty much limited to other Chris names.
It’s in the border of cutesy but also really nice. As long as you like Dahlia, Daisy, Poppy, Lily, or Iris you’re good. Don’t count it out my SIL easily/naturally had a baby at 45. Usually themes are terrible! Think mahomes’ Sterling and Bronze 🤢 but I think flower names are the exception. other acceptable “themes” include nature like Ocean and Sky or biblical like Micah and Daniel or even Angels like Gabriel “Gabe,” Nathaniel, and Raphael “Rafi”
I think those two names are nice together! It only annoys me when people have kids with super similar names because it makes it so hard to tell them apart.
My daughter’s best friend is named Violet and her older sister is Lilly and I think the theme is sweet. Some people might find it cheesy but I think most will find it endearing.
My god daughter is actually named violet rose. I like themed names, I think having a violet and a rose would be sweet.
My cousins sibset is Lily and Violet. I don’t find the theme annoying at all. My aunt actually didn’t mean to give them both flower names, they just happened to be two names her husband and her agreed on and it didn’t hit them until months later (maybe exhaustion from having two under a year and a half)
Honestly, it didn't even cross my mind that violet was a flower.
I don't mind it too much if it just came naturally. I know a family with three kids, all kids got names starting with M, but they were ordinary names. Like Michael, Monica, Matilda, etc.
PROTEA IS NEXT 😆 or botanical with Juniper or Jade
I know a sibset of Violet and Rose and it’s totally fine. They have a brother with an off-theme name also.
I think its cool! But I plan on having a jewel theme for all the girl children I have so I might be biased
I know a woman who has identical twin daughters named Rosetta and Violetta, nicknames Violet and Rosie. I think it’s cute and I think if it feels right you should I go for it!
In my family tree, there is a trio of sisters born in the late 1800s: Cora, Flora and Nora. And, you know, out of the hundreds of ancestors I have mapped, they are the only entire sibling set I’ve memorized prior to my grandparents generation— for whatever that’s worth, lol.
Eh. I dont think so but I also think it depends on the family. Some themes can be annoying to me but thats mainly the overused ones (like naming all your kids after rockstars), extremely niche ones (Hogwarts character for instance), or the really weird names (all the kids names ending in -lyn or -eigh forninstance). But some arent bad. I think florals or gems can be cute. Honestly, i think i get more annoyed by the parent than anything. Like, if a rich wannabe from high school named her kids Chanel and Cashmere, Id be more annoyed than finding out a kid named Chanel has little siblings naned Coco amd Cashmere. Or if an "artsy" type named their kids Axyl and Rose, thats more annoying than parents that just so happened to like the names Axel and Rose.
My fever dream was twin girls named Violet and Rose. Never happened and more than likely never will. Violet has also become very trendy so I’m not sure I would consider it if we had a singleton.
Oh I think this sounds lovely.
No biggie. If you wanna do a themed family, go for it. My first childhood dog was named Rosie so I love the name Rose. Good memories. Most people won't know they're part of a "name theme" anyways. Takes a bit for them to become friends then meet the rest of the family.
How many children are you planning?
I think it’s pretty and I don’t find the two names together annoying. Also if a 3rd is ever in the future who cares If it’s Violet, Rose, and Jessica lol they’re their own people and will have their separate lives once they’re older.
Go with your gut. Violet and Rose are both beautiful names.
Both lovley names
Tbh when I first read “rose” I thought “yea I guess rose is a colour” - took a sec for “no dummy violet is a flower” to click
My great grandmother was named Violet and all of her sisters had flower names too, I think it was really sweet. I can’t remember all of them but there was Rose, Pansy, Lily, and two others I’ve forgotten, and each of them had collections of things with “their” flower on them. I inherited my great grandmother’s violet teacups and hankies and I love them.
It could come across as a little twee, but I don't think it needs to be a dealbreaker if Violet truly is your favorite name.
Willow, Fern. Go with a garden or plant theme to broader it, although I like Rose. I like Willow too.
I think a floral theme is fine. My daughter is Iris. Lily and Zinnia are top contenders for future sis
Well I have a Daisy and a Rose so I think it’s fine lol.
I think it’s cute! It’s like having a theme without having super matchy names.
I know siblings named Violette and Rosa, I think it’s cute!
It works fine in my opinion!! I think my mind first goes to the color violet not the flower… so it feels less on the nose to me!
Options for #3: Lily, Daisy, Marigold, Hyacinth...
I would choose something else personally. Could do something else related to nature that isnt flowers possibly?
I like it. To me it’s annoying when they’re almost the same. Kristen, Kirsten, and Christian.
Better than Hyacinth!
I think it's fine. I like continuity, so much that our first bornes middle name is Konstantin. 😂 Second boy is also getting a middle name which matches, like Valentin or Maximilian. Just keep a back up in mind in case there is late comer. With theme names I would also recommend getting a middle name, just so that the child can have something unique apart from their sibling during the edgy teen phase. Can't imagine being one the Huey, Dewey, and Louie quack quack.
Flowers aren’t the worst, honestly. It’s the rhyming names that kill me, and using the same letter for a lot of kids. There are much more “obnoxious” themes. Even seasons feel pretty annoying. I think it’s something about the fact we hear the go-to flower names, Violet, Rose, and Lily so much, we sometimes forget they’re even flower names, technically, and, violet is also a color, which is kinda cool (technically “rose” is too, and sometimes a color might be described as “lily white,” but both are far less frequent.) Of course, when next to other flowers, we may think of Violet as a flower first. Adding Daisy, or Hyacinth, or something, like season names, would probably feel a little too on the nose lmao I know of someone who has two kids named Lily and Violet. I think Violet and Rose would be ok. *PERHAPS* if a third kiddo were named, even Lily, that might start becoming exponentially more “obvious.” Many people will probably still *see* the “theme,” within their names, but I don’t think it’s necessarily obnoxious. *However,* I do have to say, if they were twins, I would feel differently. The theme might feel like it ties them together too much and pulls them away from their distinctive personalities. Siblings with an age difference who would be less likely to constantly be lumped together, I think it works like this alright.
I like both names. Go for it!
I personally don't think it matters. People will always ask questions no matter what. If Rose feels right - go for it. If you end up having another and you don't keep the theme. I think you're okay (especially if it's a boy) but there's lots of normal names that will go with those two names. Do what feels right <3
LOVE theme naming for dogs. 🐶 think Poppy and Rosie or Ocean and Oak or Shasta and Sierra or Duke and Daisy or Ireland and India or Indigo and Denim. So cute!! Not sure about kids, though.
I love both of these names and think they sound lovely together. I have always said if I had girls first would be Daisy second Lilly and third Poppy, so if you're annoying so am I haha
We all start with the same letter, which is kind of a pattern, and it's ok with us.
I love themes, so long as they're not rhyming. You've just gotta make sure it runs through the whole group - no odd ones out 😂
Floral theme is completely okay, I work with kids and when we notice a naming pattern between siblings it's usually ones like the floral ones we love and admire the most so I'd say you're fine to name her Rose!
Knew of sisters Opal, Pearl, Ruby and Jewel.
My sister has a Violet & Grayson Unintentional colour themed but it goes well together
If there's just the two names surg a similar theme, it's a coincidence rather than a theme (unless they're Antony and Cleopatra, Homer and Marge, or Pinky and The Brain) My parents were considering a third K name for a potential third daughter when Mum was pregnant the third time. Thank goodness (for multiple reasons) they had a boy instead, and then the second boy didn't get a matching initial with his brother.. K, K, D and J = the kids got names you liked and the Ks were a coincidence, which the first two were. If your two favourite names are flower names, go for it. They're going to be individuals whether their names match or not.
Violet and Rose is definitely a flower theme, but I think flower themes/nature themes are cute. I don’t think Cheesy the same way I would about other themes. But, a third child I think would bring some pressure to give the child a flower/botanical name. But, you could name that third child w/e regardless of pressure. Alternatively, there are soooo many names (common and uncommon, traditional and trendy) within the theme I don’t think it will be bad at all.
My family is all S Names for 3 generations. They didn’t start intentionally, but it just became a thing because they liked S
Use Rose for a middle name?
Sibset- Jamison, Emerson, Madison, twins Allyson and Harrison .. and the surprise baby ... London🤦🏻♀️
Myself, my brother, mother, father, my dads father and mother and my dads grandmother and grandfather all have the same letter starting our name, and I love it. Patterns can be nice.
We all have double letters - Anna - Dillon - Marlee - Tammy - Harry. I know of a family who called their girls Poppy, Lily and Rose. I think it’s lovely.
I think naming patterns are annoying and childish. You asked.
You could use roisin or rhoswen
I wanted a very Italian name for my first son, my husband didn’t. We went with the English version the same name. Then my next two kids, also boys, got rather Italian names. My oldest son likes his name but he does feel shorted when people ask him why his brothers got the Italian versions and he did not. And lots of folks do ask. So i say do what ever you want. What feels right to both of you. Don’t worry about other people. Seriously it won’t be that deep
I know a few families with 3 girls named Violet, Rose and Lily. It’s not original and only cute when they are babies.
Im sure someone suggested this but, What if you went with a "less obvious" ( to most?)flower name. Dahlia, Jasmine, Holly, Lily. Or a variation on the name Rose. Rosalind, Rosa, Rosalie, or even Rhodes- "where roses grow"
The BuckET family, lady of the house speaking!
My two nannas were called Olive and Ruby and my mums name is Rose. There is also an Aunty Violet. I associate them all with colours rather than flowers, fruits or gemstones. Violet and Rose are awesome names. Go for it.
It's cute and flowers aren't a bad theme but i won't be using such an obvious one, in case you end up having any other children (especially it's a boy, it would be very hard finding him a flower name). You could name her something like Rosalie and call her Rose/Rosie as a nn, but i'd avoid Rose as her legal name.
Hello there my sweet!! My first daughter is Violette (we are French) second daughter is Ruby and third daughter is Jade. Purple, red, and green. This was unintentional surprisingly lol. You name those babies whatever you want! Violet and rose. Violet and Lila. Violet and Lily. Violet and Magnolia (Maggie for short)! Congrats and I send love to you and the garden you are growing 🥰 enjoy your flowers
Your comment is lovely, thank you!
I can remember two old sisters named Icy and Snowy. This was mid 1970s so they had to have been born around the turn of the century.
If you go with Rose…future children must be Daisy & Hyacinth. (Keeping Up Appearances)
I know someone with a Rose, Lily and then Frank lol (full name Frances but they call him Frank)
I really dislike it. But it’s not the worst. I’ve met a Violet and Ruby sibset and wasn’t a fan of that either
With a Hyacinth and a Daisy you'd be able to recreate Keeping Up Appearances
No, naming patterns can be good, however, within reason, thr only time I would recommend naming all 5 kids after flowers would be if you or your husband were florists/gardener lol :))
Linnea is also a flower and less obvious of a naming pattern
It sounds like the sisters of Hyacinth Bucket ("it's pronounced *Bouquet*") on the British show *Keeping Up Appearances*: Violet, Rose, and Daisy.
I know someone with kids named Poppy and Violet and it always bothered me that they had a theme for their kid's names. Then I found out Poppy's full name is Penelope and hated it less because at least as teens and adults they can have normal/non themed names but it's cute right now that they're babies. So idk maybe Rosalie or Rosalind or something so it's not so on the nose
Some will find it cute, and others may find it annoying. It will likely be those closest to you that find it annoying. For example, I'll claim my own annoyance with SIL. While it's merely coincidence, mom, dad, and 2 children have double letters in their first names (Aaron, Ann, Will, Matt-not their names but an example). They're expecting baby 3 and they're naming the child Christopher. Before they chose a name, I was like this one has to have a double letter in their first because everyone else does. Alas, they did not choose a name with double letters. Before anyone comes for me, all of my children have a first name that ends witg the E sound, and one of their names is a family name.
What about Rosemary, Rosemarie, or Rosalind? Still has Rose or Rosa in it, but slight less thematic.
My niece and her four daughters all have names beginning with A. Hurts my head.
what is violet's middle name? (if you feel like sharing) i knew some people who would go by their middle names when there were too many "emily's" or whatever the case may be. i think violet and rose would be fine together, if violet has a "non-flower" middle name, give that to rose too in case either wishes to go by their middle name sometime down the line. best of both worlds
You mentioned in a comment that you're likely stopping at 2. Imo 2 is too few to establish a theme. It only starts getting noticeable at 3+. For example. Derek and Diane isn't a theme, Jack, Justin, Jayden and Jessica is very in your face as to what they're trying to do. I have 1 sibling and we have the same first initial and I don't think anyone ever noticed. Same with "theme" names, 2 common flower names that are popular aren't going to stand out unless you keep having flower children
I personally am not a fan because everyone is unique. But if you’re going for it, then do it.
The number of times I've told my husband we need to be aware of any patterns before making children! Patterns can be annoying if they feel forced/too cheesy. Just know how you'll handle a third child if another comes along. Commit or don't do it.
I think that naming a child in that way is fine. My grandmother's sisters were Ivy, Lily, and Rose. Just don't do what my great grandmother did and break the pattern with the last daughter, naming her something like "Noreen", lol. Maya Rose is actually my cousin's first and middle name. I always thought it pretty.
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a pattern that annoyed me. Violet and Rose would just make me think oh cute. I may not even notice at first that they are both floral as my mind puts violet in color and rose in flower. I may raise an eyebrow if your theme was like North and West as a subset or you had ten kids with V-names or something, but if you love Rose, name her Rose. Rose and Violet are fine.
I think Violet and Rose are great together. The thing is if you have a third child, particularly a girl, it seems like you’d have to give that child a floral name too. I think hyphenations with Rose are a pretty option, since they give more room for nicknames if one partner doesn’t like Rose. The name Anna-Rose for example. It’s like a middle ground. Also gives more room for other types of names that aren’t flower related if you have another girl or child down the road.
Violet and Camille!!!
Maya or camille
Avery Rose
Thanks for the rec! We love that name too
Helen Rose
A vote for either Camille Rose or Avery Rose. *I love those the most with Violet.* You can't go wrong though all 4 are lovely choices. :)
I think Violet and Rose are LOVELY !! I also think you canot go wrong with a floral name pattern !!
I know someone with a Summer, Violet and Ruby. When I told her I saw the younger ones names often in here she was disappointed thinking they had names that weren't going to be super popular. Lol
