I love both. Summer feels a little dated though. Also theres no obvious nn for Summer. Still I love Summer and would totally use it.
Violet is a beautiful, strong name, but also pretty. I worry that it's suddenly becoming a lot more popular though, and super-popular names are a turn off to me.

Summer Summer Summer Summer!

Love Summer! Violet is on my hate list.

Summer.

Violet is the name for 2017.

So overused.

Summer. Nothing nice about the name Violet although very popular on here.

I like both but Violet is more timeless and will age better I suspect
