Help[Opinions] Violet
i started considering Violet when thinking of a way to honor my aunt. her name, Ibolya, is the Hungarian word for Violet, and since Ibolya would be veryyy hard to go by in the US (both mispronunciation, and the actual pronunciation sounding. unfortunate to English speakers), i thought Violet could be a solution. is this a cop out? usually i roll my eyes at people using totallyyy different names for honoring, but does this work, because it's the literal translation?
anyway though...there's a lot i love about the name otherwise. my earliest association is Violet Baudelaire, who was one of my favorite characters ever when i was a kid. i really appreciate in retrospect how she was written- a science prodigy who was always quick on her feet and tried to be the best older sister possible.
i also of course love the color, and the flower (which, fun fact, is historically associated with lesbian love. so i'd be honoring my future marriage in a way, hah).
sooo wdyt? do you think it's becoming super popular (currently at #48), and would that stop you from using it? i do worry a little that it'll be in the top 10 in the next decade.
