9: Violette Livingston -New Name (NP)
Submitter desires a feminine name.
No changes.
Consulting Herald Brian Dorcha Ua Conaill.
Submitter is from Stormhold.
I chose the name 'Violette Livingston', as Violet is a name I have loved for as long as I can remember, and Livingston is my great grandfathers family name. I modified the spelling of the name Violet to 'Violette' as a nod to my mundain name 'Anntoinette' and would very much like to keep it this way.
The name Violet, has been documented from the area of Perth/Perthshire in Scotland, which is roughly 50 miles/70km north of Livingston in Scotland, which would make the combination of the two plausable.
