It's the name (also Iola) that two name gurus in their book condemn as "dated beyond redemption", but if Lola and Isla can be revived, why not Iola (as somebody else noted here recently).
I only like the Iola spelling, and would say it as "yo-la".
Related names are
Ianthe
Iolanthe
Yolanda
Yolande
and I like all, but the pronunciation seems to vary according to the bearer!
