Wooloohooloo · 03/03/2024 20:35

Viluht (soft T). Lancashire accent.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 03/03/2024 20:35

Vi uh let, but with the second syllable barely there.

WhoaJayShettybambalam · 03/03/2024 20:38

Viol (like viola) let

User364837 · 03/03/2024 20:40

I do it the 3 syllable way but an ‘er’ rather than ‘oh’ in the middle
so Vi-a-lut

FayCarew · 03/03/2024 20:40

@WhoaJayShettybambalam , but how do you say Viola. It can be Vigh-O-la or VIGH-uh-la.

I Sauvignon-Uh-Let. . I’d never use this name because I know so many people who say Vi-Let.

DanceMumTaxi · 03/03/2024 20:41

Vi-let

Aggien · 03/03/2024 20:45

My daughters name is Violet, we all say ViOlet, or Vi for short x

Sleepyquest · 03/03/2024 20:50

My daughters name is also Violet and now I'm questioning how I say it and not sure how I do 😂

HelpMebeok · 03/03/2024 21:02

@Supersimkin2

that sounds how I imagine someone with a strong Manchester accent saying the name.

I play the viola.
Vee- o-luh
admittedly the name is pronounced differently

Sandysandwich · 03/03/2024 21:06

Viah-lut
Viah rhyming with Higher

fatphalange · 03/03/2024 21:11

I get all the above answers, the only thing I don't like is when someone omits the 't' at the end

YourLocal · 03/03/2024 21:14

Veye let (Violet) idk who says vee o let? We call my son’s friend he went to nursery with Vi but she’s call Violet (VEYE LET NOT VEE O LET!!)

HemlockSoup · 03/03/2024 21:14

vye-lut

Toottooot · 03/03/2024 21:15

Vile-it

43ontherocksporfavor · 03/03/2024 21:17

Vee-oh-lay is the colour purple in French( spelling as the name) so is that that how you mean to pronounce it? Or as in the instrument, Viola?

ILoveSalmonSpread · 03/03/2024 21:18

Vye-o-let.
It's the only way.

43ontherocksporfavor · 03/03/2024 21:19

Let? Really?

Spendonsend · 03/03/2024 21:21

vye-lt (south east)

SoOutingWhoCares · 03/03/2024 21:21

VI-lut.

Vi as in vile.
