I was JUST thinking that Violet has been posted a lot today but then I realized that you have posted it three times... enough with the post-whoring!

i'm assuming you don't have any irish family names that sound good?

i like:

kathleen

alva

imogen

maureen

siobhan [if you want something obviously irish]

sloane

but i think kathleen sounds the best.

Yes especially when its about the same name, continue the discussion on the same thread :-)

Seriously, you guys ? grow up. She wasn't being rude or harming anyone. Just give your suggestions.

OP ? Ignore it. The earlier poster got their panties in a wad. It usually isn't this tense / crazy on the board.

LOVE Violet! Do you want something really mainstream like Maeve? Or a little more traditional like Siobhan?

I like:

Violet Kathleen

Violet Mairead

Violet Ffion

Violet Maureen

Violet Colleen

Violet Roisin

Yeah, as much as I hate to agree with mj here, it's nothing to get in a kerfluffle about.

OP, Violet is a gorgeous name that I wish was more my style (and would be perfect for our boards month challenge!). I don't have any specific suggestions since I'm not familiar with a lot of Irish names, but I like the list above.

I'm still not too sure how legit this site is, but it might give you some ideas you can cross reference with family or another site:

I really like the Name Nerds site too:

Hope this helps!

Dear Braveangel, you are my hero for using the word kerfuffle.

thanks for sticking up for me and for the help on my name.

I really appreciate when people stand by me when there are cyber-bullies arround..thank you!

FYI - I'm no bully, and was not trying to be rude in any way. I felt 3 posts about the same name was a bit excessive was all. The convo about the name Violet could have been continued on the same thread AND I am pretty sure I liked most of the names on your list and also gave suggestions.

Yes how rude of her to make you read three posts, I mean its so much more work for you, not to mention you HAD to respond twice.. If you arent interested in contributing anything useful, just move on already.
