Years ago I was in an elevator. A five foot tall old man was helping his four and a half foot tall wife into it. He said, "This way Violet." Once they were gone another woman in the elevator said, "I'm going to have a girl one day just for the pleasure of naming her Violet." At the time old fashioned names like these weren't in fashion. So it really stuck in my head. I've loved it ever since. That elderly couple in the elevator was just daaaarling.

Violet Prudence? Well, given that Violet is a color using a noun in the combination can be tricky. "Purple prudence" is what I hear. But I definitely get where you're coming from. And I love that you want to use Prudence. She doesn't get the love she deserves.
