Violet - 1 or 2 syllables?

[nopety]

Vi-o-let or Vi-let?

Vi-o-let. 3 syllables.

So, you mean 2 or 3 syllables? :) I was trying to work out how to say it with one!

2 for me, although with a hint of that middle o

Oops! I meant 2 or 3

3 but the middle one very soft/slight. Lovely name!

2 for me.

1. Vi-let?!!!

I say Vio-let rather than a big emphasis on Three separate parts Vi-o-let. I def hear the o when I say it.

3

2

3 but, like a pp, the middle o sound is very short when I say it.

3 vi-o-let.

Try and clap it. You can't do it with 2 beats.

3, of course.

It would drive me nuts if people said Vi-let.

3 - definitely!

Er, 3.

I hear people saying Vi-let. I'm not sure what I'd do.

I thought, of course it's 3, lovely fragrant vi-o-let, vile-let would be horrid ... But then realised the latter is how it's often said.

Similar name without this issue, unambiguously 3 syllables, Viola ?

Three syllables, I pronounce it vi-a-lut

1. Vile-lut

2

Vi-let

Love it!

Three.
I would hate it spoken with two.
I think I'd go with Viola to ensure the three syllables!

My Mum was Vi-o-let: definitely three syllables.
