How About Some opinions...middle Name for Violet?

We love the name Violet, but are struggling with a middle name. We've come to the conclusion it needs to be one syllable to sound "right" to us, but would take your suggestions and opinions. So far, our favorites are:
Violet Claire
Violet Grace (BUT, Grace is already heavily used in family, so would avoid for that reason)
Violet Joy

Any other REALLY great/unique/old fashioned names out there?

What can I do next?

I started to answer with Violet Rose or Violet Marie, but then I read Violet Raine. I love the sound of that. Gentle, and still just a touch unusual. I also like Violet Louise.

I vote for Raine.
Or another one syllable flower, like Rose, Sage or Rye.

I really like Violet Joy! What a great name. Nice to hear a name that doesn't end in the EE sound or have some made up spelling!

Depends on last name and rhythm..Don't steal ours! (don't worry you won't want to our whole family was like WHAT?) Our six year old is Violet Morning Bell.

I like Joy very much with Violet! We wanted more syllables with short last name, but I would have picked a simple short name like that with Violet otherwise.

I Like Violet Joy (winner)
Violet Ann
Violet May

But depends on flow with last name....
