Violet
I just rediscovered an old favorite, Violet. I used to love it a couple of years ago but somehow I completely forgot about it. It used to be a favorite on this board but lately nobody has mentioned it, I guess because of its increasing popularity. It did become a bit too popular recently, I guess it's because Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck used it for their daughter, Violet Anne and there was a Violet in Lemony Snicket and Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Brooke Shields played a child prostitute named Violet in a Louis Malle film. It wasn't really picked up by any other celebrities, though which is quite surprising.Do you think it will continue to rise and even make its way into the top 100 ? I can't really see it rising further than to 150 or so because it looks a bit like the word "violent" and there is the expression "shrinking violet". what do you think ? is it the next Lily or rather the next Daisy (fashionable but not really common) ? Do you know any Violets ?Do you pronounce it VY-let or VY-o-let ?What do you think of:Violet Emmeline
