What are your thoughts on Viola and how do you pronounce it?

Do you prefer Viola Lucy or Viola Emily

I like it, I'd pronounce it ro rhyme with high also.

I don't think Viola Emily works, due to the two vowels running together. Lucy is too many Ls, I think. They're both, IMO, nowhere near as interesting as Viola.

It sounds like the local recycling company we have. We are South Yorkshire I'm not sure if it's a regional thing or not.

P. S I think Viola Emily is lovely
