Could you alter the pronunciation and use "Eye-oh-lo", or would that make me sound stupid?

I like it a lot, but I fear it has been ruined for the time being by YOLO.

This is my brothers name. It is relatively common in wales. I think its great if you're welsh.

I definitely agree. I was thinking about this earlier with Iola, Iolo's way worse.

Iolo, although it is pronounce yo-luh, is way to close to the overused "yolo" stupid kids are saying these days. Also sounds like Yoda.
