I say it with "vi" (as in violet) in the middle...but that's b/c this is the name of the phone system we use at work, and that's how it is pronounced. I haven't heard of it as a name for a person before, so I automatically think of the phones.

I'm not sure if you're considering it or if you just saw it somewhere, but it's the name of a telecom company for businesses - VOIP phones, voicemail systems, etc. Anyone in IT would know it immediately. That company pronounces it Uh-vai-uh.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I think it's pronounced "Terrible."
Btw, that's an IT company. They pronounce it A-vy-uh.

I read it the same I would as Ava.
