What do you think of the name Viola? I was looking at information for Violet and came across Viola. I remember it as a name in Twelveth Night.

I think it is in several of Shakespear's plays. It was one of his favorites.

I like Viola a lot, I like Violet too. :/ Not sure which I like better. Maybe Violet :P

FYI, Viola is also a musical instrument, its a smallish violin.

But to answer your question I like it, not as much as Violet, but I do like it.

I adore the name Viola! I discovered it in Twelfth Night, which is my favorite play by Shakespeare. :P

I like it much more than Violet because I think that it's a bit softer.

I think it is a little more uncommon than Violet, but more sophisticated.
Just for reference, the {original} Italian pronunciation of the name is vee-OH-lah :P

Personally, I prefer Violet. :P

But I agree with Naddie that it looks more sophisticated.
