I like it because it sounds classy. However, I do think it's a little close to "violent". Therefore, I prefer Viola.

I also like Viola (though I haven't any "violent" issues with Violet). I pronounce Viola almost as two syllables, with a very long "i" sound and just a hint at the "o". I know a lot of people say vi-OH-luh.

I think I like that way was well. I usually say vi-OH-luh, and I've also heard vye-OH-luh, but I think I like VYE-o-la too. Although it doesn't solve the "violent" problem, except getting rid of the t.
