lovely name ,though Vi isn't so nice
Viola too

I love the name and think if it's a girl I will have it as a middle name. I just don't like Vi but you don't have to shorten it although it may happen even if you don't want it to.

lovely name

i love it and i love vie for short.

I don't actully love it, I just can't bloody think of any names I do love!

Love Violet, though agree with MaryAnnSingleton that Vi isn't good.

Daisy, Iris, Rose (and variations), Lily. Posy?

I like Violet.

Bluebell, sunflower, strawberry, watermelon... [donk]

[Boing] Imogen?

Awww, i like violet, was one for dd, but my surname is king.

It's my mil's name. She hates it.

I think it's a great name.
it's still my No1 choice. It's cute, feminine, a little different but not daftly so.

larvely

smiled when i saw this on the board. I love the name, but have to laugh when my 2yo DD keeps shouting "yoo-hoo, Violet" down the garden
I don't know who Violet is

i PREFER Vilette if that's nto too Bronteyesque.

She's in Fifi and the Flower Tots gigglewithc!! Does she also call out "Primrose"?

Love it, my Nana's name

would shorten it to Letty

thank you LLGE!
I think she's got a book and vid at Grandma's!!
she only mentioned Primrose once, and it appeared to be something to do with another child... I thought it might be a new child at nursery
am sooooooo out of touch

I love all the flower names and especially Violet/Viola and Primrose. Don't be deterred by Fifi and the Flowertots - the name will last a lifetime but most children's TV series last only a couple of years!

I agree MADBAD, there is a character from a book or TV, or a game (Zelda!) or a doll, or a toy with every name I can think of.

Violet Elizabeth Bott.

Fab name!!!! I may be biased though!!! lol. I hate being called Vi though but thankfully people don't seem to shorten it, I'm thinking when I'm old and wrinkley with a blue rinse then I'll make peace with the name Vi!!

Lovely.
Viola lovelier still.
