How Violet sounds
A three-syllable name, Violet often sounds a little more formal and lends itself to a short nickname. Violet closes on a firm sound, which gives it a sure, businesslike ending. Its soft, humming consonants make Violet sound like water to the ear. In recent U.S. birth records Violet ranks among the most popular names, an easy, well-known choice. Violet appears mainly as a girl's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Violet belongs to water, since it is made with the lips. Violet is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Violet, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Violet would add to it.

The astrology view
For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, Violet reads as a name from their own element; for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, as a companion. Violet is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
