I’m not a huge fan sorry, perhaps just because it’s unfamiliar. The sounds themselves are lovely - I like Elaine, Lainey etc, and while Violet isn’t one of my faves it’s a nice enough name.
But put together it make me think of ‘violate’ or a weird pronunciation of violin.
Sorry, that’s probably not really what you were asking! So editing to add:
Aesthetics feel French, or kinda posh, I imagine either long dark wavy hair which might be out or straight blonde hair tied back in a stylish way, fashionable, nice scarves, meets friends at cultured cafes.
Sibsets… she’s too out of my normal for me to have ideas right off the bat, but names that might give me a similar vibe are Claire, Nadia, Ondine, Fleur… boys names I find a bit harder, maybe Carlo, Dorian, Fabian

So just YouTube’ed the name and beautiful but pronunciation is hard at least in French 
Almost a ballerina vibe 
More common but I would pair it with Guinevere
[name_f]Lainey[/name_f] and [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] do sound equally foreign to me (I am not from an [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking country), but I appreciate the delicate sound of [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] and the reminder to the opera. I like [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or Annelotte.

Violaine is sharp and kind of witchy - gives me night time vibes - starry skies, midnight blues and purples - but there’s something of Arthurian legend about it too.
There is a bit of me that wonders if it is a bit too harsh for my tastes (or at least in my accent), but I like the idea of it too.
For sibs, I’d consider:
Violaine and…
Solange
Odile
Mithian
Amenaide
Zosime
Rowena
Lilivere
Ellida
Crescentia
Trancred
Parsival
Ambrosius

I quite like it actually, at least when pronounced in the [name_m]French[/name_m] way. It’s softer than [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and if [name_f]Violet[/name_f] can dodge violate/violence association, then I guess [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] should too? I don’t know anyone with this name, but it sounds familiar enough to me due to the similarity to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Lainy[/name_f]. Aesthetics would be posh, all the stylish clothes and elaborate hairstyles, watching ballet/musicale, meeting friends for fancy afternoon tea, etc.

I’m not too big on it, it feels dark romantic which I like, my issue with it is that I first read it as ‘violate’
[name_f]True[/name_f], I checked your profile, you’re from [name_f]Italy[/name_f]? I imagine [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] is probably much easier for Italians to pronounce than it is for those who have [name_f]English[/name_f] as their first language, and not being in an English-speaking country removes any potential issues with it sounding like ‘violate’ or similar words. I think ot goes beautifully with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or Annelotte, too.

There is a similar name in Italian, [name_f]Violante[/name_f]. I kind of consider [name_f]Violaine[/name_f] a lighter and more [name_m]French[/name_m] version of [name_f]Violante[/name_f]
