[Opinions] Violet has three syllables the way I say it (m)
in reply to a message by Lily8
Funny, unlike most others, I always pronounce Violet VY-o-let (or perhaps VY-uh-lit is a better approximation). I would never say it without three syllables.I really like Violet. I've never actually met one (with the exception of a girl I know named Angela Mary Violet), but I do have the feeling that it's likely to keep moving up the charts over the next few years. I know a lot of women in their late twenties and early thirties who tend to mention this as a name they's consider for a daughter. I doubt it's going to be the next Lily, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it break into the top 100 -- maybe even the top 50 -- if flower names maintain their current popularity.
