On their own I like Violet slightly more. But with the middle name Pearl, I would go with Vivienne. Violet Pearl makes me think of a purple pearl.
Vivienne Pearl is lovely .

I like Vivienne Pearl. I'm not a fan of Violet Pearl, it's the 2 short names together thing for me. Then again my DD is Maya Marie (if it had been planned I wouldn't have liked it but it was a last minute decision and Marie was already planned for family significance). I've always liked the name Vienna so your V names remind me of this.

DD's name is Violet, and Vivienne Pearl is high on our list! I prefer Vivienne Pearl to Violet Pearl, just because Violet Pearl sounds like a purple pearl.

BFP #1 9/7/10, EDD 5/14/11, Violet born 5/27/11.
BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.
BFP #3 10/6/12, EDD 6/16/12., Matilda born 6/17/13.
Straight up tie for me! I say go to hospital with both and see what seems to fit her... My only hesitation is I wouldn't use Violet Pearl together-- sounds like a description not a name to me
Violet Pearl sounds like the name of a color, like a nail polish or something. I like the name Vivienne, but it's getting popular thanks to Angelina Jolie. I read at least 2 mommyblogs with daughters named Vivi.

Re: Vivienne or Violet
With the nm Pearl, I'd go Vivienne.
I find Violet Pearl a little cheesy. Two nouns back to back. It almost sounds like a stripper name or some kind of stage name for a porn star.

I agree with this--I don't like two noun names together. I love Violet, but not with Pearl.
