I'm not a big fan of Vy-O-luh or VY-o-uh. It just doesn't sound very appealing. When I say it the Vy sort of merges into the O and it starts to sound like vile. I just dislike the sound. VY-o-luh especially isn't very intuitive for me. Vee-oh-luh on the other hand is amazing! It sounds so, so much nicer in my opinion, bright, energetic, a bit exotic (like Violette/Violetta). I think it's way prettier, and it surprises me that it's not more liked, although I guess some don't know it's a pronunciation. I actually like the connection to the musical instrument too. As much as I dislike Vy-oh-luh, I still dislike Violet more due to character associations, so Vee-oh-luh > Vy-oh-luh > Violet.
