Doesn't make me think of 'violent', no. I just think of the color and the pretty little flowers.

I've heard others say it's too close to violent, but personally it doesn't bother me. I don't associate it with violence.

I used to adore it, if you can't tell by my posting name, but now I'm starting to find it a little predictable and boring. I still really like it, but it has dropped on my list.

I love Violet. Very elegant and dark, which I love in a name. Doesn't sound like violent too much to me, really - I don't see it there. Violate is closer, actually, I think... which is equally bad, but still.

I wouldn't let that get in the way - it's a truly gorgeous name.

I love it; violets are my favorite flowers! I'm really picky about name sounds, and "violet" sounds like "violent," but I still don't mind. I suspect it's creeping up a lot of people's lists; it seems to be getting more popular these days, but with good reason!

I've always liked Violet. I think it's pretty and feminine. I'd consider it for my first child if a friend of my DH's hadn't already named his daughter that (and then she died of SIDS, so I'd really feel uncomfortable).

It used to, but now I really like it. I think it's sweet and refreshing to hear after so many Lilys (though it might become just as popular).

It does but then it doesn't. Its a pretty name to look at but where I'm from it does sound a tad like "violent."

I love Violet! I would love to use it on my own child one day. I've never thought about it's closeness to violent. It doesn't remind me of that at all.
