Yay or nay?

The name we're fairly sure about is Violet Emma M_ _ _ _ _ _ _. I really like it, but sometimes second-guess whether Violet is too "old lady" sounding. I'm hoping that it sounds more classic than old lady...what do you all think? Love it? Hate it?

Violet is not old lady at all! I love it!

I think the vast majority of people on this board love Violet. Although I want to like it, I just hear "violent". I prefer Viola. But no- it's not too old-lady at all.

I just had a Violet come into my work and she was adorable. Probably 2 years old, curly blonde hair, and a great big smile. I thought the name was lovely and fitting.

Love it.

I work in a nursing home, and the only Violets I have ever encountered have been patients. So I guess that's why I associate the name with "old lady".....even though I love the name!

Love it. One of my top names at the moment for a possible future girl.

its definitely an old lady name, and im not a fan of those...but this one is almost likable for me;

Like PP said, on sight and sound, I have to pause because my eyes and ears want to add an "n" for the more often read/heard word violent, but that may be because I've never known a Violet IRL. I don't think this would happen past the first sight or sound of learning you daughters name, and having that association with a person, so I don't think it's that big a deal.

Loooove Violet. So, so pretty. If it's "old lady," it's old lady in a good way (think Clara, Evelyn, Vivian, Sophia, etc.).

I love Violet. I don't think of it as an old lady name

Nms, maybe Emma Violet??

luminousbluestar · August 2013

Love it.

I don't group it with typical "old lady" names. I met a toddler named Esther recently- THAT is "old lady."

We are thinking about this name, too! It's one of our top ones. We like it but I'm not sure it sounds like a name!? I think it is rising in popularity, though.
