How many do you know? It seems really popular online. Also do you like it?

I know one 4 year old and she's such a sweetie. I'm not really one for floral or ultra "girly" names but I love it. I also love Juliet.

I have one! 14 months

user1234566 · 10/04/2017 01:49

I only know of 1 and have seen it used as a middle name also. I quite like the name

SerenaVDW · 10/04/2017 13:40

I don't know any but I love it, was on the shortlist for DD.

Don't know any first hand. A friend has a niece aged 4 called Violet.

I like it!

BadToTheBone · 10/04/2017 13:48

I know one, she's 5.

Really can't bear it. Just horrible.

Work colleague's grandchild is Violet. I hear it so often I have gone right off it.

heron98 · 10/04/2017 14:36

I am not keen.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 10/04/2017 16:15

I had an Auntie Violet. I've heard a few out and about. Its s very pretty name, but. Not my cup of tea. Still my cup of tea is neither here nor there

carmelsundae · 10/04/2017 22:02

I love it, it was my first choice but wasn't allowed it. I only know one who is a few weeks old!

Seahawk80 · 10/04/2017 22:06

I love it and it's still on our list for a girl but what's putting me off is that it seems to be getting really popular. My sister had two friends call their babies Violet last month. DH has a very common name and can't see why that is a problem!

Whitelisbon · 10/04/2017 22:13

I love it, can't use it with our surname otherwise I'd have had a Violet.

DramaAlpaca · 10/04/2017 22:15

I don't know any and I love it.

okilydokily · 10/04/2017 22:16

I know one (age 4). Not that keen on it because of similarity in sound to violent.

reuset · 10/04/2017 22:42

It is popular, in stat terms. It is also nice.
