How many do you know? It seems really popular online. Also do you like it?

Yes. I'd have had a Violet if we'd had a dd.

I like it.

I know one, she's 3 years old. And my best friend intends to use Violet if she has a girl this time around.

Don't know any.

Beautiful name. One of my favourites.

I'm not having any more children but I still find myself getting angry that I can't name my imaginary DD Violet as it sounds utterly dreadful with my last name. Blush

I don't know any but by weird coincidence I've heard it a few times on tv the last couple of days!

LOVE the name by the way, very pretty

I love it. It was my great grandmother's name and I really wanted it for dd1 but dp said no. I know a 5mo Violet.

I don't know any personally, but it is getting popular. Gorgeous name though, I really really like it.

I like it but feel it's going to get very popular.

It's around 70th on the Ons data having risen in 2015. I wanted it for my dd too but dp said no, still a bit sad about it, I think it's one of the more feisty flower names and dd could totally pull it off. I haven't come across any where we live but it does seem very popular on MN

I'm surprised no one has come on to say they hate it because it is too similar to violent

I know 3. A 8 year old, a 5 year old and a 1 year old. I dislike the name but couldn't tell you why.

Vi for short.

I've got an auntie Vi. Well dead and gone now. Would probably be in her 90s now.

Really dislike it and one of the worst of the granny chic names.

Pretty name.

I know 2 babies of 1 year old called Violet.

I don't like it as it sounds exactly like Violent.

I know a 21 year old, a an 18 year old and a 6 year old.
I'd still use it Smile
