But there's another thread going in here on Violet right now.

It's an of the moment name.

SuperBeagle · 28/06/2017 01:54

One. She's 3 or 4 now.

I love Violet. Would use it but it sounds like "violently" when put with my surname.

Lemondrop99 · 27/06/2017 22:34

None in real life, but I don't roll in circles with many children yet. If MN is antgung to go by, I'd expect baby groups to have at least a couple

One, aged 6 or 7

Whathaveilost · 27/06/2017 21:57

I had a great aunty Vi who died some time ago and a 40 year old violet who is British asian- I don't know if her parents wanted an English name or this is a common name in India.
