Violette
in reply to a message by kookiemonster71
Well, I pronounce Niobe as "NIE-uh-bee," so I couldn't put Violet next to it with another long "i" sound.
I love all three, Violet, Violette and Violetta. I recently fell for Violette because it's the name of a hip clothing store near my work. It just struck me as a chic little powerhouse of a name. Violetta (I prefer the Italian spelling) is sooooo romantic. Given the right fn it could sound lovely. But Niobe strikes me as too "non-nonsense" for dreamy Violetta.
Niobe Violette is my choice.
P.S. I also like Viola ("VIE-uh-luh"), but not with Niobe, obviously.
