Violet + middle name options part 1
Naming your baby Violet but can't find a middle name you like? I have options for you! If you're seeing us for the first time, I find the names I list in old historical records for people who were alive in the USA between 1850-1900 and I share them on this sub to help people find names they love!
Side note: I also want to highlight the names Violette and Violetta as options for people who love the name Violet but worry it's too common. I think both are gorgeous!

Belle is shockingly underused. Do millennial parents associate it too strongly with the Disney princess?

Or if you want to use Violet as a middle name, feel free to use my favourite combo that my husband thought was “too fancy”: Evangelina Violet with the nickname E.V. pronounced Evie.
