In mean in the "too trendy" sense. I don't know any Violets IRL. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-would-you-consider-the-name/page/2#post-2141265 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:58:20 +0000 anbanan15 2141265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only Violet I know is from Willy Wonka. :wink: I think it is one of those names that seem so popular on here, but IRL isn't nearly as popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-would-you-consider-the-name/page/2#post-2141244 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:36:00 +0000 Finfan 2141244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a kindergartener and a baby named Violet but it's definitely still on my list If this baby is a girl. I work with kids so I know one named just about every name. Both Violets are lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-would-you-consider-the-name/page/2#post-2141161 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 11:21:55 +0000 MsHangry 2141161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone with the name but I have loved it since I read The Boxcar Children! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-would-you-consider-the-name/page/2#post-2141125 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 10:10:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2141125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know one.

So for example in my state, Maya was the #100 name in 2013 but it was given to only 84 girls. Violet was the 87th most popular name but was only given to 97 girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-popular-would-you-consider-the-name/page/2#post-2141090 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 09:06:36 +0000 WinterBee 2141090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I have come across 1 Violet before... which says a lot.
