Yeah, I've only heard it said AL-oh VAIR-a (in the US). And I've only heard
Vera said as VAIR-a too... I think. Or maybe I've never heard it said and that's just how my brain says it. :P
I don't find
Olivera hard to pronounce, it just sounds so dang close to aloe vera. For an
Olivia alternative I'd go with
Olive or Olivet(tte).
