Wonderful opera! Names-wise, I don't even like Violet, and Violetta is too frilly and fussy. Marguerite is fine if you're French, which of course she is. Alphonsine seems quite upper-class to me, though I don't like it: I'd guess that parents who choose it for their daughter are hoping to charm a legacy out of wealthy Uncle Alphonse. Marie is pretty ordinary: perhaps she was trying to be the Marie who stands out by being glamorously different. I would have gone back to Dumas and used Camilla or of course Camille.
