HelpRe: Viola
in reply to a message by yasmine
I feel the same. There's something appealing about it but I think it's one of those names that looks prettier than it sounds - I pronounce it VIE-ə-la, which could quite easily sound like 'viler' in the UK.

I think that's exactly it! I love the way it looks and the associations it has, but it doesn't sound that great. But it sounds distinctive and strong, so I don't know. Vie-ə-la is a lot like 'viler' to me - I don't really have a favoured pronunciation, though, so it doesn't bother me so much.
