The priest dutifully baptised the baby he was holding with the family’s chosen name.  He was used to certain names being selected by many parents, Mary, Elizabeth, even Alice were all popular.  But this was the third time this name had been chosen in a year, and, as far as the priest was aware none of the families knew each other, and there was no connection between them.  He wondered what was particularly special about the name of Violet, and prayed the baby girls would not grow up to be shrinking, as their name might suggest, but confident young ladies.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had troubles with names:
For once even the wife had called him James
Which is something he should have taken her up on
Since we all know Dr Watson is actually called John
