We keep going back and forth between the two! Veronica is after my dm so is a definite for that reason! But I can't make up my mind on where to put Violet and Juno. I love that fact that Juno is not popular but I also love Violet but don't like the fact that it is rising in popularity! Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!

My first thought would be to have Juno last but I am from a non-English speaking country and a name like Violet would not work well. So, I would go with Juno as the first name.
All three are lovely by the way!

I much prefer Violet to Juno, but I prefer also the rhythm of 'Violet Veronica Juno'. Vote for this from me.

I prefer Juno first, plus it's unusual to have V V as middle initials.

Personally I would only use one of Violet or Juno. I think that Juno sort of gets lost with Violet Veronica iyswim. Also if you love Juno but have it as the third name it will get completely lost.

Juno Veronica or Violet Veronica.

Violet first. DC3 was supposed to be Violet Veronica, until DH vetoed it. I've still got 5 weeks to change his mind though...

I like Violet and Vernonica but don't like Juno at all. And I don't think two V's go together very well with the Juno.

Don't use Juno- it's EVERYWHERE since that teenage pregnancy film.

Juno is a bit fashion isn't it? I wouldn't, tbh. If its fashion, its dated already.

I love Veronica and Violet though.

I think I'm starting to lean more towards Violet as the first name, I still don't like the fact that it is hurtling towards the top 100 but I'm in Ireland and its not popular over here at all (feel free to contradict me on that one though) though Ireland does usually follow England in naming trends!

Hhhmmmm I think I would go with Juno

Didn't realise you were in Ireland OP. that means definitely Violet for me, because in Scotland and Ireland, Juno sounds like the start of a question (do you know...)
More so than in England or America IMO.
So Juno Veronica Violet sounds like D'you know Veronica Violet? iyswim.

I like Violet a lot but think just Juno Veronica sounds better tbh.

I know a Juno. her name is actually juniper which I think is lovely. I don't particularly like violet, but I suspect that's because of the excessive amounts of Charlie and the chocolate factory I've had to watch recently...Grin

I like Juno a lot! Punchy, cheerful, easy to spell, unusual.

Not convinced with the fashionable / it's everywhere POV. I've just checked, only 31 girls in england and wales called it last year (so at #1096 in the charts!). And the film came out 5 years ago. Obviously, the film raised awareness of the name, but probably won't be a long term classic.

Comeonbishbosh I agree with you re not being convinced that Juno is fashionable/everywhere, people seem to have really strong reactions to it here which I don't get! I think it is a beautiful, unusual name!
