What do you think of when you hear the name Violet?

[namesstress2323]

Can't decide if i love it
or hate it.

Opinions? does it remind you too much of the colour?

Gum chewer from Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

The first thing I think of is Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Reminds me of the girl in Charlie and the chocolate factory

Violent

Sorry

Willie Wonka here too, sorry.

Charlie and the chocolate factory or the William books by Richmal Crompton (they had Violet Elizabeth who threatened to thcream and thcream and thcream)

A series of unfortunate events. It has positive connotations for me.

I like it.

"Violet! You're turning violet, Violet!"

Popped straight into my head! I love the film though, so it's not negative for me!

Love this name.

Love love it.

There was a really cool girl on Corrie called violet.

I think its beautiful!! But it is becoming very trendy and is on the top 50 for last year i think?

Violent

I'm afraid it's Violet Beauregard from the chocolate factory.

Or Violent

Not my cuppa, but then, not my baby! If you love it and it goes nicely with last name then my opinion doesn't really matter all that much.

Charlie too.

Violent.

I'll thcweam and thcweam

Evil family member.

Old lady, Auntie Vi.

Same as fusspot66

It's a nice name, though.

Thcweam and thcweam until I'm thick.

It's a pretty name but a bit Victorian tweeny even without the Just William connotation.

Like all the flower names, Poppy, Lily, Daisy, Rosie, Violet, Iris. They make me think of the flowers.

I know a little Violet, she's 4 and adorable! I've heard on here before something which is proven to be true - all past connotations disappear in the presence of your child, and it will be the same for your friends and family, I guarantee it.

It's a lovely name, if you like it, use it!

I don't think of the colour at all. I think of Violet Elizabeth from Just William books. Oh and didn't Hyacinth Bucket have a sister called Violet?

It's a lovely name, congratulations!

Violet Beauregard from Willy Wonka.

I don't dislike the name, but she's still the first thing that comes to mind.

Second association is the Violet from A Series of Unfortunate Events, and I wouldn't be surprised if the new series on Netflix spurs a massive increase in popularity for the name Violet (not sure that Sunny will experience the same, and I'm quite sure Klaus won't).
