Thoughts on Violet?

[superandyroo]

It was my Nan's name. Is it too old-fashioned?

I absolutely love it.

It’s not old fashioned at all. It’s hugely popular. Top fifty and still rising.

Love it, love it, love it. Pretty, not cutesy.

Good strong name, I have a young relative named this 🌟

I think it sounds like like violent, I can't get over this fact, so I just don't like the name.

I didn’t think it was old fashioned? It’s quite a common name even now

It's not old-fashioned, it's just very overused imo.

Same. Also it would annoy me that some people would pronounce it with 2 syllables and others with 3.

Pretty without being twee. Definitely growing in popularity though, if that bothers you.

Love it!!!

My nearly 1 year old niece is called Violet. Love her name. Xxx

I love it! My nana is called Violet and I always loved the name

Violent.

It's a lovely old fashioned name that's had a surge in popularity recently. I've never actually met one though.

I love it, it's very pretty, but I do know a boisterous little one and do always think of her as Violent.

Last of the flower names to be revived… for a good reason!

It’s really harsh. One letter away from ‘violent’. Vi is the most awful short form!

Yes it’s popular because it’s the dog end of a trend right now. It will drop out of favour quickly.

I like it and although it's in the top 100 it's in the 40s, so not too popular. UNlikely to have other girls with the same name in her class. It was going to be the name we chose if we had a girl

Like it, also like Viola

A violet by a mossy stone, half hidden from the eye, fair as a star, when only one is shining in the sky.

A Violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye
It was indeed her given name
But alas, they called her Vi.

I guess! ....and the actual poem is about a Lucy anyway!

Lovely.

Love.

I known a violet & a viola .. both lovely and not deemed as unusual

Love it
