I like all three names, assuming Noah is meant as a male sibling to Violet or Tallulah. As for Violet nns, there is Vi, Vee, Lettie, all very cute.

I love Violet! It's very pretty. Noah is one of my most favorite biblical names. But I can't stand Talluah.

I love Violet right now as well. No nn's that I like though.

I don't mind the name Violet. I wouldn't personally name my child this. I think that Violet Tallulah would sound ok.
Thanks

Violet's ok, but I prefer Viola because Violet reminds me of the word 'violent'I know a Violet nn LettieI like Tallulah, but not Noah

Violet's ok; I don't really like how much it sounds like "violent" though. I LOVE Tallulah. Noah has never worked for me. It always makes me think of a fat bearded old man on a boat.

I like Violet. And, Noah for a boy is one of my favorites, just not for a girl. And, I don't like Tallulah.

About ten years ago I was in a crowded elevator at work. A very little old man escorted a very little old woman off saying, "Come on, Violet. This is our floor." After they left I shared a smile with a co-worker. She said, "I might have to have a little girl just so I can name her Violet." The name still makes me smile. Violet doesn't need a nn. I suppose the inevitable "Vie" might crop up. But I don't think it's one of those names that's crying out for a nn. Now Tallulah, that's more of a mouthful and I would be surprised if it didn't turn into Lulu or Lula, or even Tallie. I love Tallulah (althought being Irish I prefer Talulla) and Lulu. Noah I'm luke-warm on. There are so many Noahs right now. I'm more into Jonah than Noah.

I've liked Viola and Violetta for a while, but not so much Violet.Anyway, I think a good nickname for Violet would be Letty. I suppose you can also call her Vivi.Tallulah Violet...eh, doesn't sound too bad. I don't know how you would combine Noah and Violet because they're definitely two different genders.

Noah is a wonderful name, if terribly popular. Tallulah is nmsaa, sorry.
Violet is very pretty, but I almost prefer Viola. I think it would be fine by itself, but I like Vi for a nn.

I think it goes just fine with Tallulah and Noah. As far as nicknames I don't think it needs one but if you want, you could go with Vi or even Leti.
