it could be the middle name Violet is the trouble...

Indigo Violet is very obviously goofy, but Rose Violet or even Rosalie (rosily) Violet can sound like a crayon.
In which case, since it seems to be Violet that the OP is really in love with, she should have used Violet as the first name, so-called popularity be damned. I only know two Violets; they're black ladies over fifty.

I agree Indigo Violet is silly, i would have gone with a different mn then, and as it is Rosalie Violet is VERY flowery and has it's own silliness that I have worried about but figured it wouldn't be said together often. Since violet was a family name (A distant great, great aunt but a family name nonetheless, which my DH really likes employ) I wanted to hang onto it, but my DH did not want to use it as a first name. So even though I was concerned about popularity-the bigger issue was that he was not sold on Violet as a first name anyway, hence our landing on Rosalie-hope that explains things a little better.
