HelpRe: Violet
in reply to a message by vigdis
I think it's a lovely name and a gorgeous colour and flower to boot. It's a name that ages well too imo.

I don't get why Violet gets so much hatred. There are plenty of names out there that people hate which have negative associations (I speak, of course, of the superficial similarity between Violet and 'violent') and which wouldn't have amazing associations or sounds if a letter or two were changed.
Personally, I think Violet is very pretty in look and sound. I think it's just a vibrant and interesting name, which immediately grabs the eye, looks lovely on paper and just sounds fun and different, feminine and traditional without being OTT.
Violet is a name for any amount of sweet and pretty little garden flowers, some of which are rather lovely indeed. Violet notes in perfume are very popular and widely used. Purple is a wildly popular colour, and violet as a colour seems to epitomise that. Need I go on? It has possitive associations a-plenty.

Nice name. A little bit flimsy maybe, but not as flimsy as Lily - about like Mia or Jasmine, not too flimsy for me. I personally would not feel quite right to use Violet on my own daughter - that's probably just because I've never personally known a Violet, and it's only a name on paper & on characters to me. But I like it on other people, in theory.

I met a little Violet today. I was surprised at how much I liked the name. It *is* a little flimsy, especially compared to the named I normally like. I, too, wouldn't use but it is an elegant name.
