Help[Opinions] Re: Violet
in reply to a message by irene
Violet has really grown on me. For a while, I thought it was too Hollywood. Now it seems sweet and quirky. It worries me a bit that it's already #48, but I don't know if it's quite mainstream enough in sound to make it to the top 10. I don't think it'll ever get as popular as Lily, but maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think Violet for Ibolya is a copout. It's a translation! It's not like some random association like I named my daughter Rose after my grandmother Ermentrude which means strength and Roses are strong flowers. I hate those kind of reaches but yours isn't like that.

yeahhh i don't get those reaches at all...i'd personally be a little annoyed if someone did that to honor me.
thank you for yohr input! i just was worried because i'd generally prefer an original name over a translation, because it can be sad seeing people afraid to use relatively simple names just because they're visibly foreign. though Ibolya is a not so simple for non Hungarians lol.
