Comments :

I find the name Viola very beautiful and I am very happy with it. Until now I have only received compliments for my first name. I think it's great but it never got into fashion (so far) and you can not hear it anymore. Interesting, I also find that it has so many meanings. My nicknames are great: Vio, Lola, Violetta... Kind regards to all the violas - Viola
