Viola is my eldest daughter and she has two sister: Rose and Lily. When I was pregnant with my son, I tried to find a boy name with the meaning flower, but my husband didn’t like any of them. We named him Mark. Reply Beth Mar 20 at 9:32 am I love this name! I play an instrument called the viola in my high school orchestra. It’s a gorgeous instrument with a deep, rich sound. The name Viola reminds me of how beautiful it is. I might use this as a name for my future daughter.

I start loving my name when i use to hear the sound of my name when the people use to call me. I love my name ?VIOLA Reply Siobhan Aug 17 at 11:37 pm I chose the name because it was my grandmother’s.
