Smiles4u Im not at all offended and I do know what you are saying is true. Ill find it extremely hard not to go with Violet for the first name more for the reason I think Violet has more emotional attachment iykwim? Saffron and I went to art school together and although we lost touch for a while there we have recently gotten back in contact and the first thing I said to her was "I still love your name for my little girl" I wasnt even pg then lol and I actually havent seen her IRL for 15 years lol...I just love the name not really for any emotional reason I just think its pretty and unique.
Im sorry to hear about you and your sister, I can relate in a small way as our family is quite fractured. I hope it can heal with time
Oh and I love cooking with saffron too haha Dh and I think that is funny
They are both flower names which kind of makes me laugh but it was not intentional. My friends sometimes call me "petal" when I am being all sooky and delicate haha.
Thanks all for your opinions I am so excited!!!!

I don't think you can go wrong either way and the fact that you have wanted to use Saffron for such along time I think you should use it first. I do prefer Violet Saffron but she is not my daughter. Follow your heart and you can't go wrong.
I love the name Violet Saffron, and its even more special being after your beloved grandmother. If i was having a girl I'd love to honour my Grandma that way, unfortunately her name was not pretty like yours.
