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?

[Daisypopslop]

Violet from Charlie and the chocolate factory.
Always see violent first sadly, plus first autocorrect for it.
Apart from that I feel I should like it more than I actually do.

My gorgeous Labrador!!! (Totally outed myself now )

[Afishcalledchips]

The colour or as saltedcaramel said, Parma Violets.

[chartreuse]

I think of the flower. It's a lovely name, I know a Violet, nn Vivi, which is beautiful

[KanyeWesticle]

Little blue flower

[midsomermurderess]

A truly horrible woman I worked with who named one of her children Violet.

[winkygirl]

Lovely name. My colleague's pre-school age DD is called Violet. They don't shorten it although I can imagine Vi or Vee as a nickname when she gets older.

Violet = Violent? Only as much as:-
Maddie = mad
Kirsty = cursed
Eve = evil
etc.

Violet is nice, and I think people aren't so strongly associating it with the character anymore from Charlie and the chocolate factory. My concern with this name is that Vi is not a nice nn.
