Help[Opinions] Re: Viola
in reply to a message by Perrine
I prefer vee-OH-la, and I much prefer it to Violet! Violet seems droopy and wilting. Viola has sparkle and vivacity, but if it's pronounced vy-OH-la like the musical instrument it puts me right off.
Once I taught a Viola with a beautiful, tragic face like a West African mask. All the Art students wanted to paint her! She was a very cheerful, lively child who played the drums, and the triple contrast of her personality, her appearance and her name delighted me.
