What do you think of the name Violet?

I used to not like it, but I saw it today and it really struck me as a beautiful name.  I'd probably never use it as I see it becoming popular at some point, at least since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner named their daughter this.

I think it's sweet and very pretty.

It was my number 1 girls name about 3 years ago, then it got tossed aside. Now it is slowly creeping up again. I rather like it.

I can't really pronounce it or read it without thinking "violent". I like Lily and Daisy, and even Rose better than Violet.

I love it, but where I live people would have a hard time pronouncing it...they would probably end up saying F-ee-olet...which doesn't sound quite as nice (sounds kind of horrible, actually):)

I really like Violet, and it was the middle name of one of my best friends in childhood, so it holds a special place in my heart.

I don't think it's trendy. It strikes me as an older name.

i like the name but only because my great grandmother who passed was named violet and she was amazing. i think if i didnt know a wonderful person with the name i might not like it so much.

I love it, even though it's becoming trendy. It's old-fashioned and pretty, but also has a bit of an edge to it as it's a "color" name like "Scarlet." It's also my favorite color. :)
