Kate or Violet

P&SPoppy · October 2013

Hello! I'd love to hear your thoughts on our top choices for our baby girl, due in about 2 weeks. We're down to three options, and the names we can agree on are all more traditional. The top two choices are Kate or Violet, though my husband really likes Emily as well. I happen to like Kate or Violet more. Our son's name is Leo. Which do you like best?

Also, if we go with Kate, do you think anyone will make the Titanic connection (Leo & Kate), or is that movie old enough now where it won't make a difference?

Titanic was my first thought when I read Leo and Kate together. I can't remember the characters names, but I remember using Leo and Kate when I was mocking the story line (in the movie, loved the depiction of the Titanic sinking and attention to the truthful details, hated the love story of Kate and Leo. See, I did it again)

So, I couldn't do it, because of how I've used those names together when mocking the movie. But, with each passing year more and more will forget so you're probably fine with most people, especially younger generations

ETA I'm not a fan of Violet (its a color/flower which is NMS and when glanced at too quickly my brain puts it together as Violent) so even tho it sounds like you won't use it anyway, I voted Emily (Emily is my favorite of the currently overdone, IMO, Em- names)

The pop culture part of my brain is usually broken, but Kate and Leo still jumped out at me as Titanic. For me it would be like using Rhett and Scarlett.
