Need help naming!

I need help naming my new doll. i cant settle on a name. I was going to name her loreli after my mom (lori) and aunt (heli) by kind of mushing there names together but it doesn't really suit her like i hoped so i've been thinking of other names but can only come up with two....

Kaitren Quin and Violette.

why the three names

Kaitren (pronounced kay-trin) nic name Kat.
its a name i thought up when i was 14, has some meaning to me, it was the name of one of the daughters i had in a dream that felt like it took place over several years. I was really weird for awhile after the dream as it felt like i lost a lot of things that were important to me that never existed in the first place. There were also Vivani and Jenifur but she doesn't remind me of either of them

Quin
while watching tv yesterday there were 4 different characters with this name, its not a very common name so maybe its a sign maybe?

Violette
She seems to like this one a bit more than the two but i'm not sure. i don't know if i'd like naming my doll after a color. I'd spell it violette instead of violet because i for some reason love names that end in "ette"

I asked her what she'd like to be called but she won't tell me and none of the names i suggest appeal to her, but the vibe i get from her is "i''m your doll, the first doll. You should be the one to name me, not me"

these three names are the three i could see her with so far but none really "click" they way i'd like them to so i'm open to suggestions!

ALSO! i forgot, her's a pic of her for those who dont know what she looks like

If she seems to like Violette more than the other names, you must be on the right track... Maybe she'd like to be called Lavender?

I vote for Quin. It sounds mischievous and your girl just has that cute little smirk.

I love the name Quin(n) but for some reason I can't feel that name when I look at her. She's totally adorable by the way, I love her wig!! :D
My favourite is Kaitren but ONLY if you shorten it to Kat all the time. I also like Violette :)

I voted for Violette but I think Kaitren shortened to Kat as Evelien suggested fits her really really well.

with the little pout she makes me think of an old friend called Rose

Though if she likes Violette the most
Violette, Viola (...maybe not), Violetta?

I like Violette, and it's a good sign if she seems to like more than the other two. Hmm...

Nickname suggestion: Letti?

More ideas based on Violette:
Purple flowers: Periwinkle(I don't think so), Iris, clover, lilac, laurel.
Names beginning with "V": Vivian or Vivienne, Victoria.
Just keep working on it. You'll find the right name eventually!

I thought "Vivienne" too - because she reminds me of my best friend's daughter who is called Vivien ^^° But I really like Quin, too.

I voted for Violette, but I also like Quin too. She is a very beautiful girl and I love her hair and eyes.
