I'm trying to think of a middle name to go with Violet.
So far, all I can think of is Violet Elizabeth and Violet Marie but I'm not sure I like those very much.
I also like Violet Josephine but I think it might be a bit fussy and the initials VJS could lead to a vagina joke. =) I just thought of Violet Ophelia but I think that's also a bit much.

Any ideas? My other one is Joshua Patton (age 11 months) for those of you who like to think in terms of sib sets.

Violet is a hypothetical baby, btw but my ovaries are kind of itching already. =)

I think with Violet, you need something very simple. Elizabeth and Ophelia might be a bit much.

Violet Jane
Violet June
Violet Anne
Violet Mae
Violet Kay
Violet Eve
Violet Kate

VJS is fine. i don't get why people get so worried about initials. as long as it doesn't spell anything horrible, like ASS or FAT or something, then i don't think it's a big deal. how many people will even know her initials?

i like violet josephine better than elizabeth and marie. two celebrity babies named violet are violet anne and violet maye.

I like Violet Josephine and Violet Ophelia, although, as you said, they may be a bit much.

My first ideas was Violet Ava. Not so sure about it now...Anyway, I think that simple, short names would go well and are good if you're trying to avoid flowery-ness. That said, I'm still suggesting some longer ones. ^_^
Some of these have already been said:
Violet Eve
Violet Claire
Violet Patricia
Violet Felicity
Violet Olivia
Violet Lavinia
Violet Sophia
Violet Ginevra (I don't know what the proper pronunciation is supposed to be, but I say Gi-NEV-ruh)

Hm...obviously, I like the repetition on the V sound.

Ophelia is one of my favourite names, but i'd never use it because i'd effectively be naming my child after a girl who was tormented by her boyfriend, went through hell and eventually drowned herself. Hamlet is such a wonderful play =P

I think that these...

Violet Oliva
Violet Sophia
Violet Grace (although it's over used, in this case i think it sounds lovely)

are some good ones.
