User Comments about the name Viola
Comment left Jul 06, 2008: "Has a nostalgic 1920s feel to it, and though it is an old lady name, it's not part of that infamous Ethel/Eunice/Beulah/Bertha gang, and because Violet is fairly common these days thanks to celebrity use, maybe Viola deserves a second chance, whether it carries that Joan Blondell image or not. Maybe Viola will become the next 'Violet' if the latter goes a bit too far, a bit over the top, but then again it'll probably just stay on the unique side." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 27, 2008: "Even if the 1978 film 'Grease' is still watched and enjoyed, it would be nice to once in a while see this name on a pretty little girl, even if it does conjure up that cafeteria manageress in the film. That part was, after all, played by actress Joan Blondell, who in the Thirties and Forties was, along with her sister Gloria Blondell, a glamorous Hollywood actress (not to mention being married to and subsequently divorced from actor Dick Powell during that period). Plus, who can forget the character Viola in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, even though she disguises herself as a man in a bid to join an all-male fencing team?" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 05, 2008: "Not too bad, this name. It may have been somewhat popular a century ago, yet as an "old" name of today it seems to be more associated with the retro-chic names of Pearl, Matilda, Frances, and Hazel than with them horribly outdated Ethel, Beulah, Irma, and Hortense type names. I think that despite the cafeteria manageress Viola in the 1978 film 'Grease', the name Viola deserves a second chance, especially with Violet fairly common these days (thanks to Garfleck and to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl whose gran was a Violet)."

Comment left Jan 18, 2008: "Viola was the name of Joan Blondell's character in the 1978 film Grease and she was known as 'Vi'. She was the manageress of the cafeteria where Danny and Sandy (aka John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John) and all of their friends - Frenchy (Didi Conn), Rizzo (Stockard Channing), and Kenickie (Jeff Conway) - often met."

Comment left Mar 08, 2007: "Another "classic" name that can be brought back!!! A nice alternative to Violet, which might become too popular because of celebrity use (Ben/Jen, Dave Grohl)" (Report as inappropriate)
