I love this name, is so unique and pretty.

I used to know a Violet, we nicknamed her Vi. I love this name because of her. She was so kind. Plus it's a pretty name.

I love this name because it has a strength to it, perhaps because of the 'V' sound, but it still sound very delicate and feminine and maybe a little dark.

"Violet" could have a nameday on Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) - the day of flowers and willows (the names of the other trees also have a nameday).

Violet is such a beautiful name, it has an old-fashioned but not dated feel about it.

Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters recently named his daughter Violet Maye after his grandmother.

This name has such a pleasant and sweet sound to it. When I hear it I picture a sweet, pleasant little girl or mature, loving woman. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it becomes much more popular over the next few years.

A violet is a lovely flower but it sounds too close to the word violent.

Violet appeared on the top 1000 list in the 1880's until the 1960's. It came back on the top 1000 list in 2003. Its most popular year was 1910 where it ranked 79.

I like this name. It is one of my favorite flower names, next to Rose.

Violet is beautiful name. I would definitely name my daughter this.

This is a nice name. However, I would use this as a middle name.

Piper Perabo's character in Coyote Ugly was named Violet.

Okay, I love this name as do many others. This is the sort of name that is a "guilty pleasure" for many people. I cannot get past the dreadful "Vi" nickname. I wouldn't use it for that reason. Otherwise, it's very tempting. I'd like to see it on someone else's kid, just not mine.

Violet emits a sense of sharp sophistication and intelligence, at least, to me.

I think the name Violet is so classy I just love it. It has class and style. It's not too frilly but frilly enough. It's delicate and strong. Many things to me anyways when I see the name. I love names after flowers. This is a beautiful name. :)

I love this name! It sounds kind and free.

I think this is a stunning name and I'm going to call my child Violet May. =]

There is something that I just love about this name. Although it does seem to be getting more popular.

I love this name. Lily, Rose, and Violet are my favorite flower names. I love the nickname Vi.

Actor Balthazar Getty and his wife Rosetta Millington have a daughter Violet (born 2003).

Violet is also a bluish purple colour.

I know that Violet is an old classic. But for me, it feels more like a hippie/nature name. The color Violet is a very sacred color. It's the color of the crown chakra, which connects humanity to spirituality. Not only that, but the crown chakra, is often referred to as "The Thousand Petalled Lotus", a flower in and of itself!

I conceived and gave birth to my daughter, Violet, in the most magical 100 year old cabin. It was nestled in the mountains outside of Asheville, NC. In the Springtime, tons of beautiful purple and white flowers scatted throughout yard. When we moved, I dug some up to take with us. Later, I found out that they are wild Violets!

Actress Barbara Kodetová and violinist Pavel Šporcl have a daughter Violet Šporclová, was born 26th July 2007 Prague, Czechia, she weighed 3,56 kg and she measured 50 cm.

Violet is also Czech form. Name Day: 25th May.

I love the name Violet, it's my number one name for a girl. I would name her Violet Joy. I think it's feminine but not too girly.

Violet Wilson is a character on Coronation St played by Jenny Platt.

According to the Charlie And The Chocolate Factory novel, Violet Beauregarde eats the un-ripe chewing gum meal, despite Mr Wonka's warning her not to, then Miss Beauregarde goes blue and purple before swelling up and then being taken to the juicing room by the Oompa-Loompas. In between Miss Beauregarde taking the gum and her swelling up, her mother says to her "Violet, you're turning Violet, Violet".

My favorite color is purple, so naturally I love the name Violet. I'm in the process of changing my name, and Violet is one of my top choices. My middle name is Rose, so I think Violet Rose sounds rather lovely.

I specifically like this name because it sounds like 'violent' and 'violence'. I think it's such a fun contrast, as the name is so feminine, delicate, and elegant, but on the other hand, it's one letter away from 'violent'. That's awesome. The name is pretty and nicely short and simple, but I'm afraid it will turn into a popular name. It sounded quite old-fashioned to me only a few years back. I'm not thrilled about the fact that this is the title of a Hole track, as I loathe Courtney Love, and this was the name of the main character in that gawd-awful movie Coyote Ugly that I hate with a passion, but I think you can let those little things slide.

I am a bit disappointed in this name's growing popularity as I do not want it to lose its distinction.

I'm sorry, it is quite a pretty name, but I just can't get past the word VIOLATE. It really ruins it for me. Other than that it would be a cool name.

A beautiful but sadly very overused name. Name your daughter Violet and she will have to go through school being known as Violet B or Violet M or whatever (depending on her last name). A variation that I would use might be Violetta, which you could SHORTEN to Violet, but teachers could use to avoid confusion.

That is crazy to think that a child named Violet would have to be known as Violet M. or Violet C. or Violet whatever their last initial is. Violet was 231 for 2007 in the US and at least below 100 for the UK. You have to remember that even the top 10 most popular names are still just percentages of every baby named.

Poppycock! It's just not that popular and I'd only worry about that situation being a problem if it was top five which I seriously doubt it will ever be.

Some people exaggerate the popularity issue enormously. It's a pet peeve. Others are Lila and Isla. Lila is gaining but not anywhere near popular and Isla isn't even in the game yet but I hear "they're overused" all the time with regards to America.

My aunt's name is Violet, but she goes by 'Letty'.

Violet is one of my favorite names, flowers, colors, and fragrances. A violet may not have the robust beauty of a rose, but it is sweet, tender, and endearingly modest as well as fragrant. This name also has a classic, old-fashioned feeling, which I like very much.

The name of a song by the band Hole. Also, Hole's lead singer/guitarist Courtney Love considered the name Violet for a baby girl at one stage.

The flower of February is a Violet.

Violet is one of the titular characters of Francesca Lia Block's 'Violet & Claire,' which is an excellent book. She's a fiercely independent girl who aspires to be a screenwriter/director. She's described as wanting to see the world in technicolor.

I love this, it has such a classic feel to it.

So I have fallen in love with this name immensely! If I should be blessed with another daughter her name will be Violet Emmeline. The plan is her nickname could then be VV instead of Vi or Letty. My sister has a dog named this who's getting on in years but I think I will still use the name regardless since it is just wonderfully perfect. One day when I was thinking about names, I tried to think of ladies I'd respected growing up and Violet was one of the top ones. She was just as others had described the name to be very sweet and feminine yet a quite strength and maternal.

Violet can fit any type of girl. Its sounding like 'violence' can be interpreted as badass or savage, the cute sound and phrase 'shrinking Violet' fits a quiet yet friendly girl, the 'V' makes it distinct, and it just seems smart. Maybe that's why it's gaining popularity, though still it's seen more in media than real life. And unlike most popular names today, this one is actually sensible.

For the longest time, I hated this name. (It had reminded me of "violent.") However, the name suddenly came to me one day, and I fell in love with it. I particularly like the combo Violet Isabeau.

American singer/actress Christina Milian and music producer The-Dream have a daughter named Violet Madison (born Feb 2010).

I think this name is really lovely and vintage. I wish it weren't so trendy right now.

I am in love with this sensational name! So beautiful!

What a terrible name! It is only one letter from being violent. With that being said, this name is not a good option, not to mention, it is very dated.

The Spanish of Violet is Violeta (/Violetʌ/)

Violet Madison (born February 2010) is the daughter of American singer Christina Milian.

Very pretty girls name that is starting to become popular again. I like it.

Like Veronica it seems to have been used (albeit sparingly and among certain upper-class families) in Scotland from the sixteenth century, long before it became general in England, possibly due to the Auld Alliance between Scotland and France and the influence of French names. (Violette in its case).

I have never made the association between 'Violet' and 'violent'.. I've only ever thought of the flower or the rich purple color. It's cute, but not high on my list of favorite names. ;-•.

I love thus name! It is just sweet enough for a little girl but also mature enough for an adult woman. Very classic sounding and modern at the same time.
