Me and my boyfriend love it but not sure how other people will feel about it. Also considering the nicknames either Lettie or Lottie.

Also do you think it sounds nice with Eva as that will be her big sister.

Thank youSmile

I think it's a lovely name. I wouldn't use it myself as I struggle to say it. I want to say vi-uh-lut, but it comes out more like vile-ut. I don't like the shortening Vi or Letty particularly either.

I really like it. One of my favourite names.

I like it, fairly common, but pretty. (When I say common I mean popular!!!)

I really like it and know a couple of little Violet's. It is a name that is both pretty and strong.

I’m personally not a fan, mainly because it’s such a close word to Violent

Lavenderblues · 22/07/2019 07:33

I prefer Violetta

Violet sounds like Vile et.
