I strongly prefer Viola, which incidentally is the Latin name for the flower.

I definitely admire Viola; however, I tend to struggle with the pronunciation ("VYE-uh-luh" vs. "vee-OH-luh" vs. "vye-OH-luh"), and the fact that Violetta yields the nickname Letty wins me over.

Anyone who doesn't pronounce it VYE-uh-luh needs to be corrected anyway.
