Congrats to Dave and Jordyn – Violet’s a lovely name and I bet she’ll be a lovely little girl. In my opinion, it’s a good thing they stuck to their choice, no matter how other celebrities name their kids. And speaking of other celebrities, I also bet Violet and Camille will make good playmates.

Actually, in 2003 in Q magazine Dave said this “I’ve got some good family names. My grandmother’s maiden name is Bonebrake and her brother’s name was Harper. My other grandmother’s maiden name is Prince and her name is Violet. So, a boy would be Harper Bonebrake Grohl, and Violet Prince Grohl for a girl.”…so he had the name picked out before it started becoming popular.

To be fair, if Violet is a family name, it was probably on their lists before it became popular. Some names I’ve loved for years have started popping up very frequently, and I’m sure I’m not the only one in that position. Granted, I think they’ve helped to start a trend, but I’d hesitate to label them followers.

I’m sure they’ll make wonderful parents and despite the rapid rise of Violet, I think it’s a lovely choice, on their part! Congratulations to them!

Congrats to them! =) I still cannot picture Dave as a father, but I’m sure he’ll be an awesome dad. =)

I like the name Violet!

even though jen and ben already used it, i still think it’s a cute name…now if it’s Violet Ann Grohl that would just be weird!
