It's a perfectly lovely name, but I'm genuinely surprised at how popular it's become in the USA. To my ears, it sounds like a very grandmotherly kind of name. I don't know why, but whenever I hear Violet I think of a sweet old gray-haired lady in her rocking chair.

But then I think the same thing about Isabella, so it's probably best to pay no attention to me. :)
