I can't pronounce it Vi-o-let without sounding like I'm from Cornwall?

I say it as Vi-let (2 syllables) and wondered if that was an acceptable pronunciation?

I say vy-let, but the last syllable is not pronounced like the word let, more of a uh than eh sound if that makes sense? I struggle to write things phonetically.

Vy o let.....It has an o. Why would you not pronounce it?
