Violet. I know a few Violets and I like that it's a flower and a color without being too obviously a word name (at least to me, given its history as a given name). Viola is nice too, although I prefer it pronounced Vee-oh-la like the musical instrument. I've only met one Viola before and that's how she pronounced it.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
