HelpVioletta
Too much? I kind of like it. I didn't think it would work in real life because it's so long and flowery but I met one today and it worked really well on her. I also like Violet.
Do you prefer Violet or Violetta? Is Violet too trendy?
Do you like Viola? Do you pronounce it VY-o-la or vee-O-la?
Could you rate/rank or comment on them? Favorite? Least favorite?

I pronounce Violetta as vee-o-LET-ah but when I say it quickly it sounds more like vyo-LET-ah, kind of like VY-o-let sounds like VY-let when you say it quickly.

I love it! I think it would work fine in real life. I prefer Violetta to Violet - I wouldn't call Violet trendy, but it's getting there. I don't really care for Viola, since I don't like the sound and it feels to me more of a musical instrument than a name (but I'm biased, I play viola). I pronounce it vee-O-la.

Hmm. Violetta is too much. Maybe on a really romantic character but for a person I just think it's too frilly. I like Violet.
Much prefer Violet. It's certainly popular and I'm aware of that but at the same time I don't think I've actually ever met a Violet. Granted, I haven't had much contact with kids recently, but whatever.
I've tried to make myself like Viola but I just can't do it. The Shakespeare connection is great (and I loved the character) but at the end of the day I just don't like it. VY-o-la is how I pronounce it.

the other two.
I pronounce it VY-OH-let-ta. So similar to how you say it when you say it quickly. But I think you have a French background (I could totally be wrong about that) so I understand you may pronounce things a little differently than an American? I'm not sure. I can't remember anyone's background here :P I have that problem in that I adore the name Genevieve--especially pronounced the French way. But that just would never fly here. Accent or not. :(
