[name]Baby[/name] due in 6.5 weeks. Has been called [name]Chloe[/name] (or Chlo”) [name]Jane[/name] for a couple of months, but it looks like that won’t be her name after all. The mother loves the name [name]Chloe[/name], but is now concerned about it being too popular. (Since it matters to her, I think she has reason to be concerned about having another [name]Chloe[/name] “or 2!” in her daughter’s class: [name]Chloe[/name] ranked #10 last year and [name]Khloe[/name] lept from 665 to 196, which made it the fastest rising name. It looks like there ARE going to be a lot of baby girls named [name]Chloe[/name]/[name]Khloe[/name] in the next few years.)
Mom likes [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Jane[/name], similar in sound and background to [name]Chloe[/name] [name]Jane[/name], BUT Dad doesn’t like [name]Phoebe[/name].
Mom’s back up name [name]Jane[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] ([name]Smith[/name]) would be okay with him, but Mom has concerns about the ordinariness of [name]Jane[/name] [name]Smith[/name].
Dad would like to call the baby [name]Violet[/name] after his great-grandma (“who he remembers”). Mom is thinking about the name [name]Violet[/name] (middle name [name]Jane[/name], of course) with the nn [name]Letty[/name].
It appears that [name]Violet[/name] is a fairly popular name among “Nameberryites”. But do you know any little girls named [name]Violet[/name]? If so, what nicknames are used – or are most called by the full name [name]Violet[/name]?
And how do YOU say the name – with 2 syllables or 3: VIE-l?t or VIE-?-l?t?
