Dog Names Meaning Purple

Another name for the color purple is the beautiful, elegant – violet. Even though violet is a little closer to blue in comparison to true purple, it is still considered to be in the same color family and both gorgeous hues worthy of attention. Violet is a widely popular name, with many famous people in the same name club. Some of the famous Violets include Violet Benson, an Internet personality, Violet Duca, a Turkish volleyball player, and Violet Fane, the poet. However, there is one famous Violet that also seems to be the most adorable one, Violet T. Chihuahua. 

Who is Violet T. Chihuahua? Well, she is one of the characters in the famous comic series My Cage. This daily comic strip was published in the USA, and written and designed by Melissa DeJesus and Ed Power. It ran from May 2007 to October 2010, and it is considered to be the first comic inspired by the Japanese manga that was syndicated by the Kings Features Syndicate. In June of 2015, My Cage can be read on Patreon, so it is safe to say that the beloved characters are finally back!

The story follows a group of anthropomorphic animals trying to survive in the horrible corporate world. The protagonist is Norman T. Platypus who works for a big corporation but is also a freelance writer who longs to have a writing career. He works with Violet T. Chihuahua, who is the wife of Rex T. Doberman, a classic narcissist who just loves to talk about himself and his accomplishments instead of focusing on the people, or, in this case, animals around him.

Violet seems to be as equally self-obsessed as Rex, but she also shows another negative trait – jealousy. She works in the company only to be able to keep a close watch over Rex, as she is quite possessive and does not want to risk having her husband walk off with another dog. Violet becomes pregnant and gives birth to her and Rex’s daughter named Sunny. Sunny is also quite vile and not a very nice person, but who can blame her when her parents are Violet and Rex? 

Even though she is depicted as an evil character, her shortcomings can be explained by her general lack of self-confidence. Unlike Violet, we should strive to better ourselves and be the best version of us that we can be, instead of finding ways to sabotage others for our gain. Hopefully, in the future episodes of the comic, Violet will learn a valuable lesson that a little kindness goes a long way, and that evil is never the answer!
