Thoughts of Viola

[17caterpillars1mouse]

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

Do you prefer Viola Lucy or Viola Emily

I would pronounce it veeola like the instrument. It’s a lovely name and Viola Emily goes well

I love it. Would pronounce it Vi (rhyme with high) ola.

I would also pronounce to rhyme with high. Love it

P. S I think Viola Emily is lovely

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.

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.

Viola like the Shakespeare character, the Latin for Violet. Not like the instrument. It’s nice. But I think it doesn’t go with either Lucy or Emily. It’s the repeating L sounds that make it clunky.

It’s a pretty name, but it made me think of that vegan brand of cheese.

Nah. Sounds like viagra

I like Viola, very pretty.
(Vi- pronounced like high)

The waste company is Veolia is pronounced ‘Vee-oh-lee-ah’

Or a brand of cleaning product

Literally every name can sound like something else if you try hard enough.
Omg ‘Ben’ sounds like ‘Bin’

No one is going to make the connection between Viola and Viagra ffs

The stress goes on the Vye at the start, so it can sound a bit like viler. Just a thought.

@LochJessMonster ah yes that's the one. Ok.

I like it and had it on my list but now I see it as a mixture of vagina viagra and areola . I still quite like it but wouldn’t use because of all the pronunciation issues

Viola Emily is lovely. I would pronounce Vye to rhyme with high and my first thought was Shakespeare not vegan cheese or viagra.

Lovely name, associate it with Shakespeare not anything else!

It’s very pretty. I’d pronounce it VIola, as in the Shakespeare play. I think Viola Lucy works best and is just lovely.

I would pronounce it the same as Viola Davis name is pronounced so vy-ola.

I like the name. Viola Lucy is gorgeous, I think I prefer Lucy Viola though.

Lovely name. I think Viola Lucy sounds best.

I would pronounce it Viler, like Viola from Twelfth Night, my favourite Shakespeare play.

I really like it. 10 years ago my fantasy girl twins were Viola and Margot.

I'm possibly the odd one out because I much prefer Viola Emily.
Emily is such a beautiful name.
Best wishes

Oh no, I'm not. I thought everyone had gone for Lucy (quarantine brain).

As long as if she has a brother he is called Sebastian! Sweet unusual name - instantly recognisable as Shakespearean if you like that kind of thing.

It’s a lovely name. If you work hard enough you can turn pretty much any name into something less appealing!

I like Viola Emily but either is nice.
