Opinions on the name Violet?

[Bethanymad]

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 you

I prefer Violetta

Violet sounds like Vile et.

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

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

Love.

Violet is Vi uh let not vile et.

I love it.

Love it

Vi or Lottie as nn

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

I really like it. One of my favourite names.

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.

Really lovely.

Love the name Violet. Really don't like Lettie. Lottie is okay. But I would go with Vi if anything.

I also struggle to say Vi o let, it comes out as vile-let. Not a pretty sound at all.

I like it a lot. The Violet I know shortens it to Vivi.

Nice name and Letty works as a shortening.

Growing up I knew one Violet, one of my Grandma’s best friends . I never considered it a particularly nice name, just an old lady name. Now it’s becoming more common and I’ve met little Violet’s it’s grown on me.

I really like it, and sounds just right for Eva's sister.

I know a Lettie and a Viva (Veeva) as a shortening.

I love it, it's getting popular if this is something that bothers you.

I’m not keen personally. It’s an invasive weed and gets trodden on underfoot. It also reminds me of violent.

Violet is fine. I also like Viola.

I love violet. I'm considering it if we ever have another girl.

Lovely name. But she will be known as Vi for sure so if it’s ok go for it

Love it! It’s my little girl’s name. We call her Letty or Vi.

I love it

I love Violet but hate Lottie as a nn. I know it’s much loved on MN but I find it twee.
