What do you think of Violet as a girl's name? It's listed on Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I love it VERY MUCH!! so much that I am afraid that it might become v. v. popular soon and you might regret using it because everyone else has cottoned on. Sorry - just what tends to happen!

I like it. It's funny but my mother hates this name as do many of her generation, they generally knew an elderly 'Vi'.

Most of the elderly Violets are now no longer with us and so the name is new sounding and quite fresh to a younger generation. Guess it happens with lots of names.
