Down to 2 names

[nattyfred]

Hi!

So I have had these 2 names for our little girl the entire time. DH is giving me the naming rights for this one as he wants to name any boy we have after his father as the family is quite traditional.

So they are..Saffron and Violet Our last name is Frederikos

Saffron is a name of one of my friends and I have loved it for years and I have strawberry blonde hair and so does my friend...It just clicks a bit for me and I have been saying for years that this is the name of my future child lol..

Lately I have been really close with my Grandma and as my mum isnt in my life and I really like my grandmas name I think it would be an honour to name our girl Violet after her..She is 86 and a really good soul kwim?

Im happy to call her either with the other name as the middle name but which do you prefer? What sounds nicer to you? Should I wait and base it on her hair colour? I know it can change so dont know how safe that is...

Any suggestions would be great, as I said I just love both names and I cant imagine not using either of them.

Thanks!

I personally prefer Violet Saffron rather than Saffron Violet.

Violet Saffron is a really pretty name.

yea i really like Violet Saffron, its sounds so pretty =)

I'm sure whatever you choose though will be great

I agree with Divvy; Violet is a lovely name, and Saffron flows so well as a middle name

Violet Saffron Frederikos?

I think that sounds absolutely gorgeous!

Violet Saffron is the goer for me!!!

i think Violet Saffron is beautiful

Oh thanks everyone! It looks like everyone kind of agrees on the same I love the fact that when I see her I will be able to choose either as we havent confirmed either way much to the annoyance of everyone lol..Tbh they are lucky we even told them, you know how ppl can be with the old "why would you use that name"? rubbish...

I love Violet as the first name too and I just know my Grandma would be touched. One thing she said to me a few months ago was that she had only just started liking her name and when I asked her why she said "oh I just thought I should have been pretty with a name like Violet"..It really humanised her for me and I realised even our grannies suffered from self esteem issues..It kind of made me think even though there are so many years between us we are essentially the same..Hmmmm I love her
