My husband and I are expecting our 2nd child, another girl, in September. Our first born is Ada Frances. Our last name sounds like Fiddle – only starts with a K.<\/p>\n
We are decided on a first name, Violet but my husband and I are split between the middle name. My vote is for Violet Luella and his, Violet Stevie.<\/p>\n
Other contenders that have been tossed around are:
\nJuno
\nBeatrix
\nRegina
\nFrankie (too close to Ada’s middle name?)
\nHattie\/Harriet
\nRemi<\/p>\nThoughts? Suggestions?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An odd thing happens when I see Violet Stevie: my brain reads it as Violent Stevie. (This may be a side-effect of a frequent exposure to video game, comic book, and children’s book characters.) But I would prefer Violet Luella even if it weren’t for this little brain glitch: Luella seems to me to fit better with Ada, Frances, and Violet. The one mark against Luella is that it gives the complete name a lot of L—but that could equally well be used as a point in support of the combination.<\/p>\n
My favorite of all the names you mention is Beatrix. I like Violet Beatrix Fiddle best for rhythm, style, sibling name coordination, and overall sound.<\/p>\n
Let’s have a poll to see what everyone else thinks!<\/p>\n
