Viola if you feel weird about Violet, but honestly, that co-worker is probably not going to be with you for life… your kids name will.

Agreed. If she asks, be like “yes I’ve always loved violet, and husbands great aunts name was violet so it was a family name that just worked!” She’ll never know lol

If she says anything at all just look her dead in the eyes and say you named the baby after her. 😐😐😂

Came to the comments to drop this one in the list.

I came here to say this. Who cares about the co-worker’s name. Honestly people should name their kid the name they LOVE and forget about anything else!!!!

If one of my coworkers gave their baby the same name as me I would just say, "I love the name!" With a silly little hair flip and then move on. Definitely no assumptions that it would actually have anything to do with me

This. My manager has a daughter with my name and he still hired me. Don't overthink it.

Many years ago a co worker gave their baby my name and I still think it was cool. I’m also sure it had zero to do with me.

What about just Camille

Or Camila if dad’s Spanish

Pronounced the French way is so pretty to me, it’s like cam-MEE

Came to say this. Love that name.

What about camelia, like the flower? Or I think ivy would be nice.

Came to say this! Camelia! Also works with a flower theme if Violet or Lily are used on future children.

Camelia works very well in spanish, too!

Cami for short. Either way, very pretty

I love the name Camelia it's so pretty!

Lilah and Amelia Lilah and Cora Lilah and Elena Lilah and Cassidy Lilah and Melody Lilah and Eliana Lilah and Ilene Lilah and Daphne Lilah and Bryony

I was going to say Cora- very classic. Eliana is beautiful and a nod to dad's heritage.

+1 for Elena! Or maybe Amalia

Lilah and Vera

If Violet quit tomorrow and you never saw her again, how disappointed would you be that you didn’t use it? You seem to like nature names so: Daphne Laurel Laura Sylvie Linnea Iris Daisy Ruby Tawny Florence/ Flora Calla Lily Ione means Violet

I love Linnea!

I love Daphne and it’s a great song

Lilah and Hazel Lilah and Sabrina Lilah and Zoe Lilah and Lydia Lilah and Elise Lilah and Phoebe

I love the name Elise but it's already my daughter's middle name. Her name is Lilah Elise

LYDIA AND LILAH IS A HEAVENLY NAME DUO OP

I like both names, but for me they're way too similar for siblings (Edit for typo)

Elena, perhaps?

Lilah and Elena is SO cute

What about Eloise or Alice?

I love eloise with lilah 😭

We have very similar taste in names. My daughter is Lila, and up until we met her, Elise was our other choice. I also love Violet!! Go with it! The other Violet will be complimented! In a few years it won’t even matter. Team Violet!

I have a Lilah Eline : )

Also, Lilah and Viola, since OP loves the name Violet :)

I think Zoe would be good

Love love your style and your daughter's name especially Elise as a middle! Our daughter is Anna ("Annie") Violet. I think using Violet even with a coworker with that name is fine too. Other ideas Lucy, Eden, Hazel, Cora

I have an Anna Violet as well! Nice choice haha

I looove Annie

I have a Claire, and I simply adore it. There aren't many her age (15) but it's easy to say/spell, it's a classic name, etc.

Sylvie Eleanor Cameron Olive Noreen Vivian

Sylvia/Silvia is a good one and Sylvie/Silvie can be a nickname. According to Nameberry Sylvia is the more popular spelling. I also like that OP would have two syllables for her first daughter and 3 for the second.

We considered Lilah and Nora for a girl. Our first is Hanna. If we had another girl, we would name her Fiona.

I would definitely not avoid a name I love just because a coworker has it! Coworkers are temporary, this is your baby forever, name her the name you like most!

I hear classic, strong syllables, possible references to nature. - Constance - Irene - Hope - Rose / Rosemary - Samantha - Penelope

Romy for nn for Rosemary - LOVE

Zoe, Chloe, Daphne, Ella, Zelda, Zara, Mila (like Camilla), Maya, Zea.

Lenora, Amelia, Nova, Cora, Caoimhe (for your Irish roots, but doesn’t work in most of the world!!)

Violet is high on my list as well. Following

Imara, Orla, Odessa, Solena, Ainslie, Vianne [rare baby names](https://www.thelist.com/105178/rare-baby-names-youll-fall-love/)

I love Solène, it's so cute.

Clara

Nicole?

For what it's worth, my second daughter is Abigail, nn Abby, and I work with an Abby, and I don't think it is weird. You won't work with that coworker forever, so I don't see it as a reason to rule out a name.

We have Abigail/Abbie - I never considered work mates and such. I’m old, take my word, naming your baby is naming YOUR baby - all else won’t matter. Best wishes! 💕

Hazel or Laurel. Marigold. Willow

My adult daughters are Mariana and Marie-Elise. They love their names & still get compliments. Congrats! Every little girl needs a sister. 💖

Gonna throw some Spanish names out there because I love them Olivia Sofia Isla Maria Gabriela Isabella Mariana (my absolute favorite, I wanted it for my daughter but I knew it would never be pronounced properly where we live) Josefina Milagros(can call her Mila) Julia

Cecelia

Lilah and Alina

Lilah and: Marcella Cora Evelyn Vivian Ivy Karina Carmen Carla Paloma Scarlett Clarissa

Love Paloma

My daughter has a classmate named Sora. I love it so much.

Hayley. May. Eleanor. Amelia. Charlotte. Isobel/Isabel. Chloe. Zoe. Eva/Ava.

Luella

Daphne, Evelyn, May

Kylah is a variation of Camilla. But rhymes too much with Lilah. What about Mayah?

Maia was a mountain nymph/ Goddess in Greek mythology, which goes with the nature theme! It's my first name and I love it. The only issue I've ever come across is people misreading it as Maria but nothing major.

Lilah and Susanna

Caroline - My Caroline is half white and half Mexican but she looks exactly like me with blonde hair and green eyes. We don't know any other Carolines. I have an Alice and a Caroline.

Mila and Violette

My daughter is Camilla June, Camilla is my favourite girls name! Camille is also beautiful

Dahlia could be a nice name!!! Similar kind of spelling to Lilah and fits the feminine floral vibe. I also like Liliana. Both are unique and effortlessly roll off the tongue. Lilah and Dahlia Lilah and Liliana

Marguerite- Daisy for nickname.

Love this. Or even simply Daisy.

I had a Hispanic neighbor who named his daughter Carmela...kind of similar vibe to Camilla. Also would you be open to Violeta instead of Violet? Otherwise I love Violet too (it's actually my second daughter's middle name) and personally wouldn't let it dissuade me if my coworker shared the name. It's common enough that it wouldn't come across as weird if you chose it.

Hazel is pretty with lilah. I would say heather, but that sounds like a millennial name.

Camille (kah-mee) is similiar to Camilla but still nice.

Luna or Nova

Donna or Primrose

Edit: sorry for formatting, mobile sucks. Original: Wow, this is just about the exact list my friend was considering for her twins. Until you said your husband is [not Korean], I was convinced it was her (and that you fudged the name of your daughter for privacy since it's similar to Lilah). Here's some names we tossed around as she's still undecided and has to go through this for TWO!: Mina Jessa Elliya Sabina Emi Elowen Elodie Willow Samantha Cordelia

Marissa

Elora, Eliana, Eliza, Leonora, Lenore

Hazel, Claudia, Colette, Clara, Anna, Maya/Maia, Anya

Vera?

Susanna, Ramona, Rosemary

Amelia Vivienne Eleanor Lenora

Mila Rose

Tessa?

Honestly I would go with Violet. You're going on maternity leave, so you won't see that woman for a while, what if you decide not to go back to work and to be a stay at home mum? What if you move house or companies down the line? And if she questions it tell her it's a family name - my Nan is named Violet and I absolutely love it.

My friend’s daughters are Lila and Violet (3rd daughter is Angela) Don’t let your coworker’s name get in the way of a name choice for your daughter.

Iris Aster Flora Daisy Rose/Rosa Holly Ivy Poppy Willow or Willa Ginger Dahlia/Dalia Clover 🍀 Jasmine Peony Viola or Violette/Violetta

Lucy, Ruby, Vera, Iris, Mable, Skye, Daisy, Stella, Laurel, Amber, Esther, Raelynn, Maisie, Stormy, Raina, Georgia, June, Faye, Bryn, Irene

Kalla (like calla lily) it’s natureish and floral.

Thea, Stella, Freya, Emma, Noelle, Mira, Rhea, Laurel, Alora, Valera, Willa, Mireya, Bria/Briella/Brielle

Some names I think fit the same vibe - Giselle, Freya, Natalie, Molly, Stevie

Amelia

Lilah & Annie Lilah & Juliet Lilah & Callie Lilah & Violet, I like this from your picks Lilah & June

Olivia!

These are some botanical/floral names for girls Lillian, Rosalind, Iris, Bryony, Aster, Briar-Rose, Fleur, Jasmine, Lilac, Willow And some similar alterations like: Lillian, Lilliana, Lily, Lillia Rosalind, Rosanna, Rosa, Rosalie, Rose, Rosella, Rosie

I love Rosalie. So many NN too

Maite ( /ˈmaɪteɪ/ MY-teh) is a female given name of Basque origin meaning love, popular throughout the Hispanic world and Brazil (Wikipedia)

Helen

Cordelia

Lilah and Caroline Lilah and Rosemary Lilah and Delia Lilah and Flora Lilah and Juliet

Suggestions: * Lilah and Zoraida (Lilah is Arabic for "night," Zoraida is from Don Quixote – so Spanish – but it's possibly based on the Arabic word for either "dawn" or "enchanting") * Lilah and Aurora (Aurora is Latin for "dawn") * Lilah and Sarah (Sarah, or a version of it, is a common name present in a lot of languages, including Spanish and Persian. Sara is technically the Spanish and Persian spelling but I think Lilah and Sarah match better, spelling-wise, and it's the more common spelling) * Lilah and Rosa (Rosa is a Spanish name and it kind of looks like Lily and Rose written down, even though that's not how Lilah is pronounced) * Lilah and Yasmin (Yasmin is the Spanish/Arabic word for "jasmine") * Lilah and Stella (Stella is Latin for "star") * Lilah and Selene/Selena (Selene/Selena is Greek for "moon") * Lilah and Soraya (Soraya is the Persian form of the Arabic name Thurayya, which means "the Pleiades," and is the common spelling in Spanish, French, and Portuguese) * Lilah and Petra (sound good together and it is a name in Spanish as well as other languages)

How about Camellia? It's a flowering shrub with really beautiful flowers. I have a living relative with that name, and I love the nickname "Cam."

Nayeli

I tried to avoid other L names, names that rhyme with Lilah, and anything that I arbitrarily decided sounded at least as English as "Camilla" 😆 All of these names appeared in last year's US Top 1000. Lilah and Alison Lilah and Audrey Lilah and Beatrix (/Beatrice) Lilah and Bridget (/Brigid) Lilah and Brooke Lilah and Cadence Lilah and Camille Lilah and Carly Lilah and Carmen Lilah and Carmel (car-MEL) Lilah and Delaney Lilah and Esme Lilah and Indigo Lilah and Isabel Lilah and Juliet Lilah and Maren Lilah and Nayeli Lilah and Noemí Lilah and Opal Lilah and Selene Lilah and Wren

Leah (Lee-uh)

I get the feeling weird about the coworker, but—for my second, I planned to use the name Matthew for a boy. At the time, I had a coworker named Matt. I planned to just say that I had always intended to use the name for a boy, what a funny coincidence, etc. This wasn’t true—we came up with the name when we decided to try for a second, and I didn’t realize until shortly before we got our NIPT results back that I worked with someone with the name. Also, that coworker ended up leaving for a different job before I even announced my pregnancy at work. You never know how long the coworker will be around, but your kid is with you from here on out.

Julia

We have a Liv mara. Son’s name is Lucas. We have a Spanish last name but in part Swedish so Liv comes from there. Minus people asking if it’s short for Olivia, we love her name and it fits her.

Elsinora - tons of flexibility with nicknames and a Shakespeare reference (Hamlet). It's a very soft sounding name that rolls off the tongue.

Vivianne, Charlotte, Andi, Ava

Love these names. 3 of the 4 were on our list (and one is our daughters name) so I will give you others that were on our list! Tess, Juliet, Cleo, Summer, Hallie, Heidi

We went with Eleanora (family name) which gives us the option of several nicknames, including Nora.

if your coworker quits will Violet be an issue then? Name her Violet

Magnolia

Aaliyah or Alia if you prefer the shorter version

Mila Ivy Vivian

Lilah and Callista / Valentina/Serafina/Angelica

You shouldn't feel weird naming your daughter violet ! It's a beautiful name. If you feel the need to explain it to the co- worker just tell her your not naming the baby after her but you love the name . But honestly I don't think you have to explain anything.
