Velvet is a name that couldn't possibly be softer or more luxuriant. Many people have fond memories of it via the character of Velvet Brown, played by the young Elizabeth Taylor in <em>National Velvet</em>, an intrepid young woman willing to masquerade as a boy to race her horse in a dangerous steeplechase.
<br/><br/>Velvet actually had a brief sojourn on the Social Security list, from 1961 to 1964.  Now, double trending as both a 'V' name and a word name might give Velvet a boost.
